Acupuncture Can Treat Sports Injuries
Acupuncture is
well known for its effectiveness in reducing
pain and inflammation caused by sports-related injuries.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical therapy which helps the body
to heal itself. Studies have shown that acupuncture has measurable
effects on the circulation of blood to areas of the body and variety
of substances are released, such as endorphins, serotonin and
neuropeptides/neurotransmitters, to reduce pain and inflammation,
spasms, and speed up the healing rate. The focus is not only to
treat the injury, but also to treat any underlying conditions that may
cause an individual to be prone for injuries. Injuries occurring from
sports are mostly due to trauma or overuse syndromes involving the
musculature system and its soft tissues, and disruption of the healing
processes due to inflammation.
Acupuncture is
one treatment that most athletes use to treat muscle problems. Professional sports teams regularly have an acupuncturist on staff to
treat injuries and keep them performing at their peak.
Acupuncture can treat a variety of disorders such as:
Anxiety, Stress, Infertility, Sleep
Disorder, Weight Loss, Stop Smoking, Tennis Elbow, Knee/Back/Neck
Pain, etc...
