Idaho Sports Acupuncture Experts
Looking for sports acupuncture experts and services in Idaho? Look no further!
Playing sports is an essential part of what it means to be human. It’s a fundamental means of both self expression and self actualization. We as a society have used sports as a non-lethal, less violent way to test our physical and mental might against one another without having to take it to the battlefield. The problem though is that when we are out there on the court giving our all, we tend to be prone to injuries of some type or another. In fact, injuries are such a common occurrence within sports that there is an entire facet of the medical arts dedicated to it called sports medicine. In today’s article, we’re going to cover some of the ways in which our expert practitioners at Eagle Acupuncture can help our Idaho Athletes manage and heal your sports related injuries using time honored methods like acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
Benefits Of Acupuncture In Sports Medicine
At Eagle Acupuncture, we are dedicated to the ins and outs of sports medicine in Idaho as it relates to our field. We have an understanding of each sport’s unique movements and stresses that they put on the body. This knowledge is then used to empower us to better treat each injury that you may be suffering from. We can then help to treat agonist and antagonist muscle groups in order to heal and regain function faster and with better long term results than with Western medicine alone.
Prevention Is Worth Its Weight In Gold Medals
Sometimes the best way to recover from an injury is to never get injured in the first place. Through our acupuncture techniques, we are able to target specific muscles and anatomical tissues to strengthen and add endurance to your muscle and joint groups. We highly recommend using sports acupuncture to help prevent injury before a big game or competition to help you be at your best and to help your body be more resilient to traumatic forces experienced through gameplay.
A Bevy Of Benefits
Another great thing about sports injury and performance based acupuncture is that it has a variety of other tertiary benefits. This kind of acupuncture can help promote focus, concentration, and mental poise so Idaho athletes can fully express their physical ability and preparation before every match.
Dry Needling And Acupuncture
Acupuncture is dry needling but dry needling is not acupuncture. P.T.s who administer dry needling only have 30 hours of training. We use dry needles and have nearly 4,000 hours of training and that difference is what makes acupuncture the far superior choice for sports acupuncture in Idaho. We will elaborate on this, dear reader, more in a future blog!
Professional Athlete Experience You Can Trust
It is important to mention our acupuncturists at Eagle Acupuncture have treated athletes whose bodies are worth millions of dollars. From NFL football players from out west and back east, Tony Burris is the go-to acupuncturist for elite athletes to receive acupuncture and get them back out on the field.
