San Diego Acupuncture for Sports and Orthopedic Injury

For Acupuncture in San Diego for Orthopedic and Sports Injury there is a doctor that understands the athlete's mindset. It is important for your Acupuncturist to understand both the pain the patient is experiencing, but also the emotional distress and frustration an injury can bring to the athlete.

Finding a Acupuncture professional tin San Diego hat has the skill to assist the patient so they can get back to there healthy lifestyle can be a challenge.

Recovery from sports and orthopedic injury is significantly less with the addition of Acupuncture. That being said, not all Acupuncturists in San Diego are the same.

As an Acupuncturist in San Diego, I have seen numerous clients who have been to so-called orthopedic or sports injury specialists for up to a year without recovery, only to be significantly helped within a few treatments. Why is that? How can one San Diego Acupuncturist be so dramatically different from the others?

There is more to Acupuncture than inserting needles into the body. It takes a serious understanding of the application of needle manipulation that both moves stagnation of qi and blood and relieves pain. Because of my own orthopedic and sports injuries, I have taken the time and effort to learn more than is taught in Acupuncture school.

My new book, Foundations of Acupuncture Needling, details technique after technique that Acupuncturists do not learn in the USA or Europe. So it is a matter of skill and of understanding the mindset of the athlete.

Athletes are different. If your Acupuncturist in San Diego understands both sports psychology and has experienced orthopedic and sports injury there is a different empathy and incentive to help the patient. Most people do not understand the drive of the athlete to train through pain. So Acupuncture treatments for sports and orthopedic injury become part of the athletes training regime.

One of the main benefits of Acupuncture is its ability to assist in athletic performance. I will write more about this in another San Diego Acupuncture Blog post.

I have had numerous clients who have had surgeries for orthopedic sports injuries that were successfully treated with Acupuncture and electroacupuncture. I have worked with professional athletes and weekend warriors, all with the mindset of the athlete to get back to training as soon as possible.

Pain relief with orthopedic and sports injury is vital for a quick and speedy recovery. Acupuncture is a natural alternative to pain medication. With Acupuncture the patient can use less pain medication or discontinue use with proper pain management. This is vital for the speedy recovery of the athlete. It is impossible to train and fully recover while still taking pain medication.

Besides the obvious problems that pain medication can cause, digestion and elimination problems can also occur. The toxins the Liver has to filter can take weeks to clear out of the system. During this time, training is both either stopped completely or modified to such a degree that it is ineffective. Using Acupuncture for these pain symptoms, the athlete avoids the intoxicating effects and other more serious side effects of the drugs that will effect training.

For Acupuncture in San Diego for orthopedic and sports injury there is a Acupuncturist that knows what it means to work through injuries and who knows how to use the dynamic principles of Acupuncture to get you back to your training.

I ask to be a partner in your healing.
