Athletes demand a lot from their bodies, which means recovery and injury prevention are essential. Sports Medicine Acupuncture (SMA) combines traditional acupuncture principles with modern understanding of anatomy, orthopedics, and biomechanics. This integrative approach helps enhance physical performance and manage sports-related injuries naturally and effectively.
Acupuncture stimulates circulation, delivering oxygen-rich blood to muscles and joints, which supports faster tissue repair. It also reduces inflammation, a key contributor to pain and stiffness post-exercise. SMA encourages the release of endorphins and modulates pain pathways in the brain, offering natural pain relief without pharmaceuticals.
Whether you’re training for a marathon or playing weekend pickleball, SMA can help improve your flexibility, strength, and resilience. Common conditions treated include IT band syndrome, tennis elbow, low back pain, rotator cuff injuries, and knee discomfort. Regular sessions can also help prevent overuse injuries and support nervous system regulation—improving sleep, focus, and stress management.
