What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a safe, evidence-informed therapy that uses very thin, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body. These points help stimulate the nervous system and support the body’s natural healing response.

Why acupuncture for sports injuries?

1) Supports faster recovery

Acupuncture can help increase local circulation, which brings oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues. Improved circulation may support the body’s repair process and help reduce swelling.

2) Helps reduce inflammation and pain

By influencing the nervous system and the body’s pain pathways, acupuncture may help:

• Decrease pain sensitivity

• Reduce inflammation

• Improve comfort during movement and rehab

3) Promotes muscle and joint healing

Athletes often use acupuncture to support recovery from issues like:

• Strains and sprains

• Overuse injuries

• Joint irritation and stiffness

• Muscle tightness and limited range of motion

4) Helps you stay in your season

The goal is to help you return to training and competition safely, with fewer missed practices and less time on the sidelines.
