Hi! While I would not say feeling worse is normal, I would say it’s not unheard of. This is a phenomenon that can happen in certain conditions that entail more stagnation than others. In different words, where the circulation of blood and energy is not moving well. It’s as though there’s a blockage preventing the normal flow and the acupuncture treatment is promoting circulation, because healthy circulation means healthy functioning of the organs and various tissues. When we increase the flow of blood and energy via the needles it can cause some discomfort if there are blockages presenting resistance. The discomfort only indicates that the body is attempting to restore normal flow, and more treatment is required to accomplish that. Hope this helps!

It would be important to look at daily habits and stress levels. If you’re face down most of the day, at a computer or on a phone, the back of neck will fatigue and cause tension and pain.

I’m so sorry to hear the pain you’re going through. A broken heart certainly needs time to heal. That said, Acupuncture has been proven to increase endorphin levels, including serotonin and dopamine, leaving the patient feeling happier and more at ease. If I were you, I would couple it with a good therapist or some other energy work, such as reiki, to aid in moving the troubling emotions through. Sometimes emotions can get stuck and they don’t have to be. These therapies can offer a great deal of ease in that regard. Daily exercise and surrounding yourself with friends and family also help tremendously.
