Sports Acupuncture is a specialized branch of acupuncture treatment that focuses on the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of specific sports injuries and pain syndromes. It goes beyond the conventional methods of dealing with injuries by directly identifying and treating injured tissues and tailoring treatments to address the unique needs of athletes.

A Comprehensive Approach

From rotator cuff sprains/strains to plantar fasciitis, Sports Acupuncture embraces a holistic perspective that helps get the athlete back to training as quickly as possible. Our expertise extends to a multitude of conditions, including AC joint injury or arthritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck strains/sprains, headaches from neck injuries or concussion, thoracic strains/sprains, lumbar strains/sprains, bursitis of hip or knee, IT band syndrome, hip arthritis, injury to the medial collateral ligament of the knee, knee arthritis, patellar tendonitis, shin splints, ankle sprain/strain, Morton’s neuroma, pain of the Big Toe, Achilles tendonitis, and more.

The Comfortable Road to Recovery

One of the distinguishing features of Sports Medicine Acupuncture is that it is very comfortable for patients to receive treatment. We use very thin needles to  low-level electrical stimulation to target injured tissues, which brings extra blood flow to damaged areas and facilitates healing. Athletes often find that they can return to training immediately after a session, experiencing marked improvement in function.

The Treatment Journey

For those athletes with sports-related injuries, the usual course of treatment involves six sessions spread over three weeks, followed by a re-assessment. This structured approach ensures that we monitor progress closely and adapt the treatment plan as the condition changes. In some cases, additional sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

The Safety of Acupuncture

Acupuncture, as a conservative treatment, is renowned for its safety and effectiveness. When combined with orthopedic testing, it becomes a powerful tool to pinpoint the precise location and nature of an injury, and to treat it directly. It provides a powerful boost to other treatments that an athlete might already be using, including physical therapy, sports medicine massage, myofascial release and chiropractic treatment.

Embrace the Game-Changer

As an athlete, your body is your most valuable asset, and its well-being is paramount. Sports Acupuncture is not just a treatment, it’s a game-changer in the pursuit of peak performance and injury resilience. Embrace this innovative approach, experience the comfort of recovery, and elevate your athletic journey to new heights.
