Sports Injuries

Dealing with a sports injury? The expert team at Austin Honeysuckle Acupuncture provides holistic treatments to aid your body’s natural healing and get you back to the activities you love.

What Causes Sports Injuries?

Sports injuries typically fall into two categories:

• Acute Trauma: These injuries result from sudden impacts, such as a blow to the knee, a check to the back, or a heavy object falling on your foot. Collisions or accidents during physical activity are common causes.
• Chronic Wear-and-Tear: These injuries develop gradually from repetitive movements or strain over time. While often seen in athletes, they can also affect those with active hobbies or demanding jobs. For example, poor posture at a desk job can cause muscle imbalances that lead to injury over time.

How Can Acupuncture Help with Sports Injuries?

• Relieves chronic pain and discomfort from past injuries
• Prevents recurring injuries (e.g., ankle sprains, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, shoulder pain)
• Improves flexibility and range of motion
• Speeds up recovery from workouts or physical exertion
• Enhances endurance and reduces fatigue
• Promotes long-lasting energy without artificial stimulants
• Increases mental clarity and focus
• Reduces stress levels
• Facilitates faster recovery after surgery
