| Acupuncture can be incorporated into other treatment protocols or used alone for a wide variety of health concerns. If you have a health concern that is not specifically listed here, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your individual case. We also use our blog to post information about how specific conditions respond to acupuncture. Pain and sports injuries: Acupuncture has a great reputation for treating pain. This reputation developed over many centuries as practitioners of martial arts, modern sports teams and weekend warriors put it to the test. The term sports injuries covers everything from an Olympic runner spraining a hamstring to a weekend hiker straining their knee. Acupuncture is effective in decreasing pain and significantly reducing the recovery period. It is also a great choice for anyone who is looking for relief from pain without negative side effects. By reducing inflammation, reducing strain, relaxing muscles and improving local circulation, acupuncture treatments can get you back to your activity quickly and safely. |
