Many sports clubs use acupuncture as a drug-free therapy for acute sprains and strains to reduce pain and swelling.
You may be wondering why? 🤔
The typical conventional approach for treating acute injuries prescribes consistent icing, wound compression, and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. However, recent research suggests that this conventional approach may be over-treating injuries with excessive use of anti-inflammatory drugs. In trying to control swelling, we may actually impede our body’s natural response to healing. 😲
With this in mind, why not adopt a different direction when treating acute athletic injuries? Acupuncture! 👍
Acupuncture is an effective treatment for acute sports injuries as it helps to bring fresh blood to the injured area and promotes faster recovery whilst helping the body to reshape the perception of pain being experienced.
