If you’re a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, do you sometimes push your body to the extreme? Do you hone your skills and techniques in order to become a healthier, stronger, faster and more agile athlete?
Within the sporting world, injury may occur as we push beyond our limits. We may overdo it, and over time create problems now, and in the future, we often don’t allow adequate time to heal. We use painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication to dull the aches and pains and reduce inflammation. It’s a quick and easy approach, but only a temporary fix.
By covering up pain, stiffness, swelling, or aches, you may be masking a deeper problem. These are signals from your body telling you that something is weakened and out of balance. These warning signals are telling you to stop, rest, and heal, medication may enable you to return to your sport, and carry on with your life, but in the long run, it may make your problem worse. Regular use of medication may add to further injury, and have unwarranted side effects that could greatly impact performance, endurance and vitality.
Acupuncture is a time-tested, safe natural and drug-free health care system that can provide immediate relief and long lasting benefits. It can help you return to peak performance by restoring the proper and continuous flow of vital energy, called Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi circulates within a series of pathways called Meridians. Meridians disperse Qi throughout your body, providing nourishment for every tissue, muscle, and tendon. The circulating Qi supports, strengthens, and enlivens your entire body, supplying you with the power to perform, good health, and pain-free living.
If the flow of Qi is disrupted, blocked, or out-of-balance, it will not circulate freely within your meridian pathways. When this occurs, it can lead to a variety of symptoms and signs including, pain swelling, stiffness, limited range of motion, and fatigue. This can result in less-than optimal health and may ultimately hinder your performance.
Acupuncture is part of a broad-based approach. Treatments may be combined with other therapies such as herbs to naturally eliminate pain and reduce inflammation, exercise to increase muscle strength and joint mobility, and massage to enhance soft tissue healing.
Acupuncture can provide a competitive edge, leading to improved performance. It is also a viable therapy in the treatment of acute sprains, strains and pain. Acupuncture can also address underlying problems that could contribute to a future injury. It can help you create a healthier, stronger faster and more agile You.
