Sports Injuries

Acupuncture has a special affinity for treating all types of sports injuries, from strained or overused muscles and tendons, torn ligaments and even more chronic injuries like bursitis, frozen shoulder, nerve entrapment syndrome, back strain and painful flare ups from sciatica.

By using the same trigger points, established by modern sports medicine specialists, many of which are in the same location as a number of acupuncture points, acupuncture can affect the over tensed muscles and tendons, allowing them to relax and start to heal.

Using additional methods like electrical stimulation, where a very low current is applied to stimulate the needle, cold laser application, cupping, special Chinese massage called Tui Na, gua sha and heat therapy, injuries receive the care they need for the best chance to heal quickly, reducing recovery time, so you can get back to doing the things you love!
