Acupuncture, Alexander Technique Effective in Neck Pain


The first randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of adding acupuncture or Alexander Technique exercises to usual care (medication and physical therapy) for chronic neck pain found promising improvements in pain reduction and self-efficacy, British researchers report in an article published in the November 3 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
“Acupuncture sessions and Alexander Technique lessons both led to significant reductions in neck pain and associated disability compared with usual care at 12 months. Enhanced self-efficacy may partially explain why longer-term benefits were sustained,” write Hugh MacPherson, PhD, from the Department of Health Sciences, University of York, United Kingdom.
