Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years. It describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation of anatomical point on the body by penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation. Most patients feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Some people feel energized by treatments while others feel very relaxed.
Acupuncture can be done at the same time or after other alternative modalities such as physical therapy, aquatic therapy or occupational therapy. At Southern California Sports Rehabilitation we are able to see the patient for 24 sessions and a standard prescription often includes 2 sessions a week for 6 weeks. We recommend Acupuncture for any inflammatory condition, pain syndrome, myofascial pain, stress, headaches, and aids with circulation/blood flow.
