Acupuncture is being used for sports injuries
There’s a reason why many professional athletes turn to acupuncture for treatment as it’s a speedy and effective way to rehabilitate from injury. The needles can be used to release muscles that are in spasm, reduce pain and inflammation, increase blood circulation and in turn promote healing.
