Pain improves after acupuncture for at least 6 months. Effectiveness of acupuncture was almost twice that of conventional therapy in the treatment of chronic low back pain. - Arch Intern Med. 2007;167(17)
Sports Injuries, Athletic Performance and Endurance
As an athlete you may experience physical trauma, sprains or strains, over-exurtion or repetitive injury when you 'overdo it'. In time, this creates long term problems. While in the short term medication may help you return to your sport and life, this is only a temporary fix. Although acupuncture has been used to treat sports injuries in China for centuries, it has now found its way to the West. In Great Britain, several professional football teams employ full time acupuncturists on their medical staffs. Acupuncture is time-tested, safe and provides immediate relieve as well as long lasting benefits. Pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion ultimately resolve with acupuncture, providing you with the competitive edge you deserve. Contact Rachel to achieve a stronger, faster and more agile you.
