Acupuncture can be both a preventative and corrective therapy for athletes seeking to improve performance and reduce injury. When using acupuncture for sport medicine, it can help to manage pain, promote healing, and improve overall athletic performance.
Acupuncture can be useful in managing both chronic and acute injuries, and has been shown to increase blood flow to injured areas, helping to reduce inflammation and swelling, and promote the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to injured tissue. The tiny needles used in acupuncture stimulate the release of endorphins, providing natural pain relief without the side effects pharmaceutical pain medications. This ability to reduce pain without the use of medications, some of which can be extremely addictive, is one of our athletes’ primary reasons for seeking acupuncture for pain management.
Many of our athletes find that acupuncture is also an emotional endurance tool, useful in helping to regulate sport-related emotional distress signals and manage anxiety. It is common for athletes to experience some form of cognitive stress, which, left unchecked, can impact both quality of life and sport performance. Acupuncture can promote mental clarity, emotional endurance relaxation while reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.

Using Acupuncture for Sports Medicine
In Our Athletes’ Own Words
I highly recommend Dynamic Flow Acupuncture! I have chronic knee problems from years of running and sports. I still love being active and in the last year I’ve had increased pain when running and working out. I babied the knees for a while and it helped but I missed being as active as I like. After seeing Sarah for a couple of weeks I started to up my activities and ended up not having any pain. I kept adding things in slowly and kept up with my treatment schedule. At the end of the initial treatment plan my training was going great and I made gains that had alluded my for years. I’ve been able to do all the things I want to and feel great!”

Sarah is very knowledgeable, caring and thorough. I feel like she really listens to her patients needs. I have used her services for a couple of painful orthopedic issues and she successfully treated both.” – CB
I sprained my ankle playing soccer. I’ve had similar issues before I was looking for something that would be more effective than rest and advil. I noticed a little relief after the second treatment, by the end of the second week of treatment and using Patrick at home my ankle was pretty much back to normal and I was able to get back to playing. I highly recommend Dynamic Flow Acupuncture to everyone I know.” – CB
