Acupuncture is deservedly carving its name into the fabric of athletic performance

Yes, acupuncture is a safe and natural treatment, but it is also effective, and this is why its use is growing on professional sports circuits around the globe. Athletes are using acupuncture to improve performance in the following ways: 

• Reduces swelling
• Manages pain
• Increases flexibility

Because of its role in supporting optimal wellness, acupuncture fits hand in hand with an athlete's pursuit of specialization and fitness in a given sport.

Acupuncture offers sustainable pain relief

While taking drugs is effective at masking pain, the way it lets you down is by not seeking out the cause of the pain. Acupuncture stimulates your body's ability to heal itself; when the needles are inserted your body releases endorphins, a natural painkiller, that stimulates pain relief instantly and lasts for a long time. Furthermore, acupuncture decreases inflammation and swelling and helps to improve flexibility, helping you get back on the field faster.
