What is Sport Acupuncture?
Sport acupuncture is a modern, results-driven approach to traditional acupuncture, designed specifically to treat and prevent musculoskeletal pain and injuries. It blends the time-tested principles of Chinese medicine with the latest knowledge from sports science, orthopedics, and physical rehabilitation.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, which focuses on balancing internal energy (Qi), sport acupuncture is more targeted — aiming directly at the root of physical dysfunction. It addresses not only symptoms like pain and tightness, but also the underlying causes such as inflammation, poor circulation, or muscular imbalances.
Using ultra-fine needles, your practitioner will stimulate specific points in the body — including motor points, trigger points, and acupuncture meridians — to:
-
Relieve pain and muscle tension
-
Improve joint function and mobility
-
Boost blood flow and oxygenation to injured tissues
-
Support faster recovery from training, strain, or surgery
Sport acupuncture may also be combined with other techniques such as electroacupuncture, cupping, or manual therapy to enhance results.
Whether you’re treating a sports injury or just trying to move better in your everyday life, sport acupuncture offers a powerful, drug-free way to get back to feeling your best — naturally.

Why our treatments are different:
We offer one-on-one sessions so that your treatments can be attentive and thorough. No juggling of multiple patients resulting in discordant energy travelling through treatment rooms - just focused care. Electroacupuncture is an evidenced based method that we use if there are no contraindications present. This style typically amplifies treatment results compared to just needling alone, as we influence your nervous system and prompt the body to release 'feel-good' hormones and natural pain killers.
We won't just insert needles and leave you alone in a room. Our practitioners incorporate massage, cupping, Graston, and stretch therapy into their sessions as we believe well-rounded treatments render better results and offer a better experience for you, the patient.
Who it's for:
You don’t need to be a professional athlete to benefit from sport acupuncture — this treatment is for anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic discomfort, or simply dealing with the physical stress of daily life, sport acupuncture offers real, lasting relief.
