Is acupuncture good for sports, work and auto injuries?
Acupuncture is well known for its effectivness in reducing most types of pain, including that which results from sports, work or auto injury. Anyone involved in a sports activity, whether they are a "weekend warrior" or a professional athlete, knows that injuries are almost inevitable. Not only does acupuncture assist in reducing the pain of sprains, strains, tendonitis, swollen joints and broken bones, it also helps speed the recovery process. Many sports enthusiasts are now using acupuncture to enhance their performance as it enables the body to work at peak effectiveness.
One of the most common problems in the work place today is carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive-motion injuries. Acupuncture can often effectively relieve the pain and inflammation in the muscles and tendons and may eliminate the need for surgery.
Other typical work injuries include sprains to the neck or back with muscle swelling and pain and sometimes inflammation in the nerves or discs.
Acupuncture has had proven success with these types of injuries and can frequently help return the injured person back to work sooner than was anticipated.
Personal injuries have reached an almost epidemic proportion in this country today. Most attorneys handling these cases recognize acupuncture as a viable mode of treatment for their clients. A typical "whiplash" injury will result in symptoms that may include headaches, neck and back pain and weakness, muscle spasms and cramps and sometimes pain which radiates into the arms or legs. All of these can respond very favorably to acupuncture treatment.
