does it hurt? there’s a point for that.
Whether you’re an athlete, you have a chronic pain condition, or both: acupuncture can help.
INCREASED HEALING. REDUCED RECOVERY TIME.
Time is important, especially for athletes who are working on a tight timeline either with their team or to reach their personal or professional goals.
On a cellular level, acupuncture helps not only speed up the process but it also teaches the body how to heal better. And research backs it up: studies look at very specific things, and one thing about acupuncture is how you can monitor blood chemistry. One study found a “decrease in lactate levels after exercise in elite basketball athletes was significantly greater after acupuncture treatment than in the control group.”
