Understanding Sports Injuries and How Acupuncture Can Help

Sports injuries, such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, and muscle tears, often involve inflammation, poor circulation, and soft tissue damage. Acupuncture can help by stimulating specific points on the body with fine, sterile needles.

​

How Acupuncture Relieves Sports Injuries

​

Acupuncture works in several ways to aid in the recovery of sports injuries:

• Releases endorphins – your body’s natural pain relievers.

• Improves circulation – reducing swelling and nourishing damaged tissues.

• Relieves muscle tension – easing tight muscles around the injured area.

• Restores range of motion – helping to prevent re-injury by addressing imbalances.

​

This combined approach speeds up healing and supports the body’s natural recovery processes.

Preventative Care for Athletes

Many athletes also use acupuncture as a preventive measure. Acupuncture can:
