Athletes and Sports Injuries.

Acupuncture, herbs and massage therapies play an important role in keeping athletes healthy and active.  Acute sports injuries often occur when we push ourselves beyond our normal limitations.  My goal is to get your energy flowing freely to decrease your pain and get you back to competing in your sport as soon as possible.  Acupuncture can offer relief for repeated over-use sports injuries that cause dull nagging pain during exercise.  Also, Acupuncture enhances athletic performance by regulating the flow of Qi throughout the body to create optimal circulation and muscle function.


Some examples of acute injuries acupuncture, herbs and massage can treat:

  • Shoulder injuries
  • Wrist and ankle sprains or strains
  • Knee injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Muscle and tendon tears


Some examples of repeated over-use injuries acupuncture, herbs and massage can treat:

  • Shoulder tendonitis and bursitis
  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome
