Sports Injuries Q & A

What kind of injuries do you treat?

Issues covered under this heading include problems that result from physical training, competitive sports, martial arts, “weekend warriors”, outdoor activities and even unexpected injuries from commonly performed tasks at home. Common injuries are caused by damaged muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. The following list of conditions fall into this category:

Medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
Plantar fasciitis
Rotator cuff tendonitis
Meniscal tears
Bicepital tenosynovitis
Lumbar disc herniations
Anterior & Posterior cruciate ligament tears

Acupuncture can be used successfully to treat sports injuries. Professional sports teams often have team acupuncturists on staff to decrease healing times and resolve chronic conditions. The use of acupuncture to treat sports injuries is based on a long tradition of its use to treat injuries from martial arts training.
