Chiropractic West Palm Beach: Acupuncture Can Help Sports Injuries: What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment that has been used for over 4000 years to treat pain and other health problems. Acupuncture treatment stimulates the imbalanced pathways along the meridians to bring balance back. The goal is to activate the body’s natural healing abilities. It’s often used to manage pain and other conditions, and can be part of a broader approach to healthcare.
At Meiri Chiropractic, we use small, thin little needles as well as at times some electrical stimulation (electroacupuncture). And Acupuncture is utilized to influence the body to promote natural healing and normalize function. It is a great add on to the athlete’s recovery process.
What sports injuries can benefit from Acunpuncture?
Firstly, acupuncture treatments can be useful to athletes for managing pain, promoting healing, and enhancing performance. For example, by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and increasing range of motion, acupuncture can help the healing process. Indeed, athletes from cycling, tennis, basketball and football have utilized acupuncture. Injuries helped include: sprain, strain, back and neck pain, various forms of tendinitis, and even post-concussion syndrome.
Secondly, Acupuncture has proven its benefits for athletes in various sports. A study conducted at the Korean National Sports University revealed that out of the nearly 15% of elite college athletes who opted for Korean medicine alternatives, over 44% selected acupuncture as their primary treatment modality. These athletes participated in several sports of varying intensities, including kayaking, golf, wrestling, and taekwondo. Additionally, Studies have shown Acupuncture improves peak oxygen levels, maximum heart rate, delayed-onset muscle soreness, pain, swelling, explosive force production, and joint mobility.
Thirdly, even a severely cut right hand injury can benefit from acupuncture. Tom Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play who had this injury. Of course, he needs to grip the ball! And he had an AFC championship coming up. Therefore, Tom Brady used acupuncture along with his other treatments to heal his wound/cut. Acupuncture encouraged his body’s immune system to speed his recovery. So he played in his championship with very little pain.
