Does Acupuncture Help with Sports Injuries?
Many of my patients are athletes, either the weekend variety or the serious competitor benefit from acupuncture for all of their injuries sustained during their work out. I have noticed that having acupuncture treatments consistently after an injury, the body can heal about three times faster, pain is significantly reduced and even swelling diminishes rapidly after an acupuncture session. I also partake in many athletic activites and understand not only the athlete’s body and the ability to recover, but can understand the mental drive to recover quickly. Also, I can assist recovery with many therapeutic exercises and stretches that I have learned over the years of study not only with acupuncture, but by years I have been personally involved in the martial arts, cycling, working out at the gym and hiking.
