Acupuncture for Athletes

---

Acupuncture is a time-tested, safe, natural, and drug-free health care system that can provide immediate relief and long-lasting benefits. It can also help you return to peak performance by restoring the proper and continuous flow of vital energy, called Qi (chee).

Circulating Qi helps support, strengthen, and enliven your entire body, supplying you with the power to perform, good health, and pain-free living.

As an athlete, you may experience physical trauma, sprain, strain, over-exertion, repetitive injury, and emotional stress. All of these can disrupt the flow of Qi and block the body’s natural balance and circulation. When this occurs, it can lead to a variety of symptoms:

-pain

-swelling

-stiffness

-limited range of motion

-fatigue

Resulting in less than optimal health and negatively hindering your athletic performance.

Acupuncture treatments may be combined with other therapies such as: herbs, to naturally eliminate pain and reduce inflammation; exercise, to increase muscle strength and joint mobility; and massage, to enhance soft tissue healing.

Acupuncture is a viable therapy in the treatment of acute sprains, strains, and pains. This ancient and effective form of health care can:

-reduce swelling

-improve range of motion

-strengthen your body

-speed recovery time

-address underlying issues that could contribute to future injury
