The Benefits of Sports Acupuncture
Sports acupuncture is a powerful tool for both pre- and post-event care. It helps restore the muscles used during your activities, reducing recovery time and allowing you to return to your sport more quickly after an injury, training session, or competition. By addressing tension in problematic areas, acupuncture also helps prevent the recurrence of previous injuries. It’s particularly effective for treating strains, sprains, and other sports-related injuries.
