Acupuncture Optimizes Athletic Performance

The world has been abuzz with the wonders of acupuncture in athletic applications.  In a previous blog post, I discussed how acupuncture can be used to treat sports injuries.  Many professional sports teams and patients of mine have employed acupuncture to do just that.  However, acupuncture can also be used for support, as a supplement, instead of on solely a treatment basis.

Acupuncture can enhance bodily functions and maximize athletic performance.  Acupuncture can lead to better sleep thereby increased energy.  The relaxing and healing effects of acupuncture helps in terms of recovery time from injuries or intense training and workouts.  Acupuncture also improves the body’s blood flow to important organs, such as the lungs and heart, which are essential to athletics.

Health and well being are key considerations for any athlete.  Acupuncture is a fantastic addition to ensuring these functions as well as peak sports performance.
