Acupuncture for Athletes/Sport Injuries

Over 10 years of practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Dr. Wang have worked with a lot of athletes with injuries, such as sustained acute strains and sprains, acute and chronic arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, excessive fatigue, joints and musculoskeletal pain etc. Most of patients returned to exercise in almost half the time it normally takes. In addition, a 2008 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that participants who were jabbed for muscle soreness 24 and 48 hours after they exercised to exhaustion reported significantly less pain than people who didn't receive the treatment.
