What is motor point acupuncture?
Motor point acupuncture plays a pivotal role in the success of sports medicine acupuncture treatments. The motor point is defined as the most electrically excitable area of the muscle and represents the greatest concentration of nerve endings. Acupuncture to the motor point seems to “reset” the dysfunctional muscle that is causing abnormal muscle function and spasm. The acupuncture needle is one of the best modalities to use as it effectively releases muscle shortening swiftly when inserted into the motor point .
