Orthopedic/Sports 

Whether a professional athlete, playing for the local high school or a weekend-warrior, acupuncture and massage therapy have been proven to not only relieve sports or performance injuries, but also offers support in athletic enhancement.

Acupuncture in this case, is the Chinese medicine “physical therapy” releasing muscular, skeletal and emotional holding patterns that are the foundation of pain, tension and postural asymmetries. With a focus on myofascial techniques, acupuncture blends traditional Chinese medicine with Japanese Meridian Theory to promote the treatment of orthopedic and/or sports injuries.

Acupuncture can aid in the recovery of tight muscles and other chronic sports related ailments as well as more intense “conditions such as ligament tears, ACL-replacement, arthroscopic surgery, knee replacement, arthritis, tendonitis, bone spurs, repetitive stress pathologies, postural stress pathologies, sports-related trauma, auto accident related trauma, nerve pain, pinched nerves, myofascial pain, myofascial contracture, pre- and post- surgery rehabilitation, as well as a wide variety of other chronic and acute conditions can benefit from the specific treatment of Orthopedic Acupuncture.”

While acupuncture and massage therapy compliments traditional injury rehabilitation it is our belief that these therapies should be your first line of defense. They have been proven to reduce muscle spasm and increase range of motion in joints. Early treatment allows you to return to the quality of life you want sooner, and provides a safeguard from becoming dependent on pain killers or undergoing risky surgeries to alleviate the pain. In the event that surgery is necessary, acupuncture can also be used to alleviate pain to reduce the need for medication, speed recovery and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
