Acupuncture is increasingly used alongside conventional physiotherapy to speed up recovery from sports injuries. At Connaught Clinic, our physiotherapists use medical acupuncture as part of an integrated treatment approach.
How Does Acupuncture Help Sports Injuries?
Medical acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins (natural painkillers), increases blood flow to injured tissue, reduces muscle spasm, and promotes the body’s natural healing response.
Common Sports Injuries Treated with Acupuncture
- Muscle strains and tears
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Chronic shoulder pain
- Knee pain and patellofemoral problems
- Lower back pain from sport
- Achilles and hamstring tendinopathy
What to Expect
Acupuncture sessions at Connaught Clinic typically last 20-30 minutes. Fine needles are inserted into specific points and left in place while you relax. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and report immediate improvements in pain and mobility.
