How is it treated?
The key to correct management of sports injuries is an accurate diagnosis. We take a detailed history, and make a functional appraisal. With a precise diagnosis in hand, a targeted treatment and management plan is developed.
At Acuhealth we work on two levels. At the injury site, our protocols increase blood flow, initiating a healing response. This process increases white blood cells, Nitric Oxide, and immune-molecules at the injury site resulting in:
enhanced recovery time
reduced inflammation and bruising
accelerated healing of soft tissue
alleviate pain
Second, more general effect of acupuncture is to stimulate the release of a variety of natural biochemicals, including endorphins, neurotransmitters and serotonin, all essential factors in the healing process.
Our approach reduces anxiety and serves to break down the mental barriers that sometimes hinder performance.
Acuhealth combines the protocols of acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, heat, massage, herbs and rehabilitation exercises to help deliver successful treatment of your condition.
