Neck Pain Acupoints

Neck pain stinks. I know because I used to experience it a lot. Typically, the pain or energy patches used in the typical Haltiwanger Cross that comes with the brochure will produce immediate pain relief. However, there are times when you may not experience pain relief from doing that, so today I’d like to share with you specific acupoints that can be used specifically to help with neck pain. I’ve researched these because my neck pain does not respond to the typical Haltiwanger Cross, so I’m right there with you if you’re experiencing this.

Here are the acupoints to try. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures for all these placements at this time, but if you click here, you can look these points up at this website. It gives great information, and I utilize it a often.

1) You can try a carnosine patch on the CV7 acupoint. This point is
located on the back of your neck, right where that bulge is. The
carnosine patch has sedating qualities.

2) Energy or pain patches can be tried on Large Intestine 4 or 5. These
points are located on the hand between the webbing of the thumb and
index finger.

3) Pain or energy patches can be tried on Gallbladder 43 or 44. These
points run right along the top of the foot, near the outside, right
below the pinky toe.

4) Icewave or Energy Enhancer patches can also be tried on Small
Intestine 3. This point is on the outside of the hand, right near the
pinky bone on the outer hand. It’s not a convenient location to keep a
patch on, but if it works from you, use some extra tape.

Other things you can try would be to put the tan patch on the right side of the body and the white patch on the left side of the body. Normally, the patches are supposed to be worn the other way, but this can have pain relieving effects. Also, trying the white patch on the opposite side of the body from the pain.

With neck pain, there’s a lot of yang energy up in the head and neck area, so points on the feet often help because we want to draw that yang energy away from the head and neck and by extension, areas of pain. We are trying to sedate the yang meridians, so trying the carnosine patches on any of the yang meridians may also produce pain relieving results. See picture below for yang meridians.

As you can see, there is a margin of trial and error because everyone’s energy is unique, and it’s constantly flowing or moving through the body. Try these points and see if they work for your neck pain.

Pain Patching Technique Not In Brochures

There is a technique we (and many other distributors) use for patching for pain that isn’t demonstrated in the brochures. Many times, it has great pain relieving abilities, especially when the Haltiwanger Cross hasn’t been effective. I would like to describe this method today because I sincerely believe this method can also be of benefit for someone who isn’t receiving pain relief from the patches and feel they’ve tried everything else.

Normally, there are two main ways to patch for pain. Place the tan patch on the pain and move the white patch around the pain at the 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, 9 o’clock, and 12 o’clock positions. This is known as the Haltiwanger Cross. This method has a very high success rate with at least one of these positions. This method is demonstrated in the brochure that comes with the pain patches. The second method we try is placing the tan patch on the pain and the white patch on the sternum (chest). For chronic pain, sometimes better relief is obtained from placing the white patch on the pain and moving the tan patch to different locations.

For total body pain, we often use a position on the bottom of the feet called Kidney 1, which is also demonstrated in the brochure.

These methods work for 9 out of 10 people in our experience, however, we do use another method if those for some reason do not work. Sometimes, we place the pain patches on opposite sides of the body from each other so the energy between the patches goes through the body. The two pain patches, of course, work energetically, and they communicate with each other (that’s why we use two of them). The tan patch receives the energy, and the white sends it.

For example, if you’re having pain in your upper back, place a tan patch. Take the white patch and place it on the front side of your body (upper chest), directly on the other side of your body from the pain. Often times, this produces rapid relief, and it’s something else that can be tried.

Even with these methods, every person is unique. While we believe the patches can work for most everyone, there are many additional acupoints the patches can be placed all over the body that can also have pain relieving effects. I actually get pain relief from a shoulder blade pain from patches placed on my feet. The energy of the body is dynamic and fascinating and always flowing, so placing the patches can pose to be challenging, exciting, and rewarding all at the same time. It was by use of the patches that I actually discovered why I get shoulder blade pain, which I’m now able to take care of.

With all that said, we’d like to extend an offer to help patch anyone for pain relief that may require extra assistance not listed in the brochure. If you’ve tried everything you can think of and your pain isn’t gone, then please do feel free to contact us. We are available by email and phone. Don’t hesitate to get relief!
