Sports Injury Treatments with TCM
What Are Sports Injuries?
Whether you’re a professional athlete or enjoy sports recreationally, sports injuries can occur unexpectedly. These injuries range from ligament strains and muscle sprains to partial tears and joint damage, often requiring immediate care to prevent long-term complications.
Ignoring or delaying treatment can lead to chronic pain, restricted movement, and extended recovery times. Seeking professional care ensures proper healing and reduces the risk of reinjury.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
- Sciatica: nerve pain radiating from the lower back down the leg.
- Muscular strain: muscle fibers stretched or torn due to overuse.
- Hamstring strain: sudden muscle pull or tear in the back of the thigh.
- Ankle sprain: twisting injury leading to ligament damage and swelling.
- Tendonitis: inflammation of tendons due to repetitive strain or overuse.
- Ligament overstretching: weakening of ligaments from excessive stress.
- Pinched nerves: nerve compression causing pain, tingling, or numbness.
- Partial tears: small muscle or tendon tears requiring targeted rehabilitation.
- Osteoarthritis in athletes: wear-and-tear of joints causing stiffness and pain.
- Stress fractures: small cracks in bones caused by repetitive impact or overuse.
- Rotator cuff injury: damage to the shoulder tendons causing pain and weakness.
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis): pain and inflammation on the inside of the elbow.
- Bursitis: inflammation of fluid-filled sacs (bursae) near joints, leading to pain and swelling.
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): inflammation of the forearm tendons due to repetitive strain.
- Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome): pain along the shinbone due to excessive running or jumping.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: compression of the median nerve in the wrist leading to numbness and tingling.
Treatments We Offer
Neuro acupuncture focuses on the nervous system’s role in injury recovery. It helps:
✔️ Stimulate nerve function to aid in pain management.
✔️ Enhance motor control and neuromuscular recovery.
✔️ Support brain-body communication for better movement coordination.
This method is particularly beneficial for nerve-related injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain conditions.
Electro acupuncture enhances traditional acupuncture by delivering mild electrical pulses to acupuncture points, helping to:
✔️ Improve blood circulation for tissue repair.
✔️ Reduce inflammation and swelling around injured areas.
✔️ Accelerate muscle and tendon recovery by stimulating cellular healing.
It is commonly used for ligament strains, tendon injuries, and post-workout recovery.

FAQ
Get quick answers about treatments, conditions, and the benefits of
Traditional Chinese Medicine for sports injuries.
Sports injuries occur due to sudden impact, overuse, poor technique, inadequate warm-up, or muscle imbalances. External factors like improper equipment or playing surfaces can also contribute.
Acute injuries result from sudden trauma, such as a fall or collision, leading to immediate pain and swelling. Chronic injuries develop over time due to repetitive stress, causing persistent discomfort and inflammation.
Acupuncture may help by reducing inflammation, promoting circulation, stimulating nerve function, and relieving pain. It is a complementary therapy and should be used alongside standard medical treatments.
Acupuncture may aid post-surgical recovery by managing pain, improving circulation, reducing scar tissue formation, and supporting nerve and muscle function. It should be used under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan.
