Acupuncture is a time-tested healing modality rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, promotes circulation, and restores the balance of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). When it comes to sports injuries, acupuncture targets the affected area and surrounding meridians to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve range of motion, and accelerate the healing process.
Our acupuncture treatments are beneficial for a range of sports injuries, including:
During your initial consultation, our skilled acupuncturists will assess your specific sports injury, taking into consideration its severity, location, and any associated symptoms. Based on this assessment, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
During an acupuncture session for sports injuries, you will be comfortably positioned on a treatment table. Our acupuncturist will gently insert fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points related to your injury and its corresponding meridians. These points may be located near the injury site or along the affected meridians in other areas of the body. The number and placement of the needles will depend on your specific condition and treatment plan.
Once the needles are in place, you may experience a mild sensation, such as a tingling or warmth, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. You will then be able to relax while the needles remain in position for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Many patients find this time to be deeply calming and rejuvenating.
