Acupuncture for Shoulder Pain: Advanced Clinical Relief at Raenara

Stop Shouldering the Burden of Chronic Pain

Whether it’s a sharp catch when you reach for a seatbelt or a dull, throbbing ache that keeps you awake at night, shoulder pain is more than a physical ailment, it’s a barrier to your life.

At Raenara, we specialize in restoring mobility and eliminating pain through a sophisticated, integrative approach. Founded by Suzzette Griffith, DAcHM, L.Ac., PharmD, our clinic bridges the gap between modern pharmacology and the time-tested precision of acupuncture.

Why Choose Raenara for Shoulder Relief?

When you seek treatment at Raenara, you aren't just seeing an acupuncturist. You are consulting with a practitioner who possesses over 20 years of clinical experience and a Doctorate in Pharmacy.

This dual perspective is critical for shoulder conditions like:

• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
• Rotator Cuff Tendonitis & Tears
• Subacromial Bursitis
• Arthritis & Degenerative Joint Disease

The Pharm.D. Advantage: Suzzette’s clinical foundation as a Pharm.D. provides a unique vantage point for holistic healing. Rather than looking at acupuncture in a vacuum, she applies her extensive training to understand the broader context of your health. This interdisciplinary insight allows her to offer acupuncture as a complementary, restorative bridge that aligns with your body’s internal ability to heal.

How Acupuncture Heals the Shoulder

Increased Microcirculation: Shoulder tendons have notoriously poor blood supply. Acupuncture promotes localized blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.

Modulation of Inflammation: By stimulating specific points, we can help down-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α, reducing swelling and heat in the joint.

Neuro-Modulation: Acupuncture signals the brain to release endogenous opioids (your body’s natural painkillers) and resets the "pain-spasm-pain" cycle that often locks up the shoulder muscles.
