Yet there remains a largely untapped capability of acupuncture. That is its role in sports medicine. Injuries are a fact of the sporting life. Pushing their bodies to extremes, athletes set themselves up to go beyond their limits.
Most sports injuries involve the musculoskeletal system.
A combination of acupuncture, massage, nutritional, herbal, and homeopathics can be of great assistance in the healing of injuries. Often, athletes are able to return to active training and competing sooner than would otherwise be possible with conventional therapies. Injuries ranging from pulled hamstrings, ligament strains and sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, to more serious bone fractures can benefit greatly. By integrating a regular treatment program with sound nutrition, herbal support, and a sensible approach to preparation and training, injuries can be minimized. Regular treatment helps keep the body in balance, even as the athlete's intense training and competition stresses the body further.
