Benefits of Acupuncture for Athletes

The use of acupuncture for athletes is increasingly expanding.  In China, the treatment has been used by martial artists and soldiers to improve their abilities throughout the country's long history.
In sports medicine, acupuncture is primarily used to control pain and relieve muscle pain caused by exercise (tennis elbow), knee pain, back pain, neck pain and rotator cuff tendonitis.  But recently, special attention has been paid to using it in recovery of sports competitions and increasing athletic performance.  Studies have shown that acupuncture has positive effects on strength, aerobic capacity, flexibility, increased balance and athletic performance.

 Acupuncture is very effective in treating sports injuries.

Acupuncture relieves muscle cramps.

Most muscle injuries occur when the muscle is overworked or unable to control the load placed on it. By identifying areas of muscle contraction and releasing them, acupuncture can relieve pain and prevent future injury. Trigger points are overly irritating muscle bands that cause pain in predictable referral patterns.   They are usually the result of overuse, poor posture or structural problems and can lead to more serious injuries because the injured muscles are sore and unable to maintain their normal workload.  Releasing the trigger points with acupuncture returns a muscle close to its normal length and has been shown to reduce pain and increase range of motion in damaged muscles.

Acupuncture can be used alone or in combination with other treatments to treat common sports injuries.  Some of the common injuries and pains of athletes for whom acupuncture is beneficial include the following:
​​​​​​​

• Stretching, sprains and contusions of muscles and tendons
• Muscle spasms and pain
• Inflammation due to acute injuries, tendonitis, bursitis
• Pain and injury to  back and neck
• Pain and injury to the shoulder, elbow and wrist
• Pelvic pain and injury
• Pain and injury to the ankles and feet
• Iliotibial Bond Syndrome
• Plantar fasciitis (heel spur)
• Tennis elbows and golfers elbows

Acupuncture increases flexibility.

By releasing the muscle knots and reducing the inflammation and swelling of the area, you can notice an increase in your range of motion and mobility after the acupuncture session.

Acupuncture can increase strength and endurance.

Throughout history, acupuncture has been used by athletes and soldiers to increase strength and endurance.  One of the most famous acupuncture points is Zu San Li that  means "three miles of feet". This is famous for allowing soldiers to travel "three miles" longer.  According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture increases blood levels and qi.  They work together to give you more strength and endurance and to prevent illness and injury.  Acupuncture uses your own body, and unlike the use of energy products and drugs that may test positive for doping or be harmful to your body, acupuncture does not introduce any foreign substances into your body.  It increases the level of overall health of your body. Therefore, you can use acupuncture with confidence at any stage of training or competition.

Acupuncture increases energy levels.

 Chinese medicine believes that acupuncture works by acting on a force called "qi".  It is an invisible substance that flows through channels in the body called meridians.  The word qi almost translates to "energy", and by increasing your body qi, you can also increase your energy level.  It allows you to train harder and also perform better in competitions.

 Acupuncture reduces pain.

Acupuncture is best known for its ability to treat pain.  The American Pain Association recommends the use of acupuncture for chronic pain and emphasizes that: "Acupuncture is effective in treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, headache and osteoarthritis. The effects of acupuncture continue over time and only in terms of placebo effects.  "It's inexplicable. Going to an acupuncture course is a good option for a patient with chronic pain."
One theory for reducing pain is that the needles stimulate the acupuncture points and the central nervous system and release endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.  By sending adenosine - a natural stimulant for tissue repair - to the site, they help reduce inflammation, swelling and heat.

Acupuncture accelerates recovery.

Regular  acupuncture treatments between workouts help to optimize the body's natural healing process. Acupuncture can increase blood circulation to the injury site, help relax the muscles, and reduce general muscle fatigue and pain.  Some of the world's leading athletes believe that this treatment can be effective in accelerating recovery time.

  Acupuncture improves sleep.

Acupuncture can provide deeper and more restful sleep, which helps regenerate muscles and increase your energy levels.  Acupuncture regulates cortisol and serotonin, and helps improve your sleep quality and activity level throughout the day.  A good rest will allow your body to repair and rebuild itself.

 Acupuncture reduces stress and anxiety and improves concentration.

Acupuncture is great not only for physical fitness but also for emotional health.  Stimulating endorphins and balancing cortisol in the body helps reduce stress and anxiety.  This is especially useful before a big race or performance.
When you relax well and get rid of stress and anxiety, your concentration improves.  Acupuncture is also associated with changes in brain wavelengths that are responsible for attention span.

 Acupuncture increases the body's immunity and prevents injury.

Acupuncture has been shown to increase the levels of T cells in the body, special cells used to build immune responses and fight infection.  Releasing all areas of muscle cramps, even before they cause pain, helps reduce the risk of injury by keeping the muscles relaxed and active.

• After a game to relieve muscle cramps and reduce pain.
• A few days before the game to eliminate any chronic spasms and activate weak or restrained muscles.

• After sports injuries: Acupuncture is very effective in treating most acute and chronic injuries and pain.
• To prevent injury: For high level athletes, acupuncture should be part of their daily health routine.
