What Is Sports Acupuncture?

In my experience, this is the ultimate way to treat pain. I’ve tried most styles of acupuncture, and while many of them do provide pain relief and are amazing for nervous system relaxation. Sports Acupuncture seems to be the most efficient, effective and longest lasting way to relieve pain, improve mobility and enhance performance whether you are an athlete recovering from a sports injury, or an office working looking to get through your 9 to 5 pain free.

Sports acupuncture combines advanced acupuncture techniques with manual therapy and corrective exercises based on our modern understanding of anatomy and neuroscience. During a session, we conduct a thorough assessment to uncover underlying structural imbalances. From posture and gait analysis to evaluating mobility and strength, every detail matters in pinpointing root causes of imbalance. This personalized approach allows us to tailor treatments to address weakness, tension, inflammation and imbalance effectively and efficiently.

Motor points are specific points within muscles that reset the mind-muscle connection to provide immediate improvements to function and mobility.

Dry needling involves releasing tight bands or trigger points through a technique that stimulates a natural twitch response within your muscle.

Electroacupuncture enhances treatment effectiveness by adding a gentle electric current to acupuncture points.

Treatments include advanced techniques like the activation of motor points which are specific points within muscles that directly impact function and movement, and electroacupuncture which involves applying a gentle electric current to acupuncture needles to enhance treatment effectiveness and targeted soft tissue therapies to further reduce tissue adhesion, mobility and function for lasting results.

Sessions last about 30minutes each and are repeated 2x/week for the first 1-3 weeks depending on your concerns and spaced out further as your symptoms improve. For preventative maintenance of chronic conditions or to support an active, hard working lifestyle you may return for regular supportive care as needed.

This approach offers a comprehensive solution for restoring mobility and enhancing overall well-being. If you're ready to move towards better health, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
