Acupuncture and Sports Medicine

Please click here for an excellent article from Runner's World magazine on using acupuncture to enhance recovery and performance in athletes.  The author interviews a couple of practitioners who explain how acu helps from a musculoskeletal and physiological perspective, and also touches upon how it can help a person address constitutional challenges to achieve their greatest potential as a whole.

In clinic, I love working with athletes as they often have quick and marked improvements with flexibility, pain, and performance within a few acupuncture treatments.  I've seen it work wonders to help prepare for events, as well as in recovery from acute or chronic injury.  During treatment course, we often discover energy, digestive, or endocrine imbalances that also might be contributing to the issue, and when supported with acupuncture and herbal medicine, further enhances performance.
