Rapid Injury Recovery
Sports Injury & Pain Relief Acupuncture
Acupuncture Offers a Unique Approach to Healing Sports Injuries
Whether you are an active or athletic person, or one who is mainly sedentary or physically inactive, you will probably sustain an injury along life’s journey. Those who are active and those who like to play sports will inevitably injure a muscle, tendon, or ligament in their pursuit of the activity. But even those of us who don’t actively pursue physical exercise can slip and fall, twist or lift incorrectly, or strain unused muscles, causing injury and pain. Acupuncture ensures rapid and effective recovery from trauma to any part of the body.

Injuries Happen. Acupuncture Helps You Heal Faster
In life, bumps and bruises are unavoidable.
Whether you’re active, athletic or mostly sedentary, injuries happen.
Acupuncture can quickly clear the swelling and inflammation associated with injuries. It promotes faster, more complete recovery from trauma and soft-tissue injuries so you can return to the activities you love.
Acupuncture can provide a 50% improvement after the first treatment, and injuries can often be resolved within four treatments.
