Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been used for years to successfully treat sports-related injuries. They have been clinically proven to speed up healing time and to decrease pain associated with trauma. This is the way in which Jennifer first discovered the powerful effects of acupuncture therapy when she was dealing with her own sports-related injuries.

Chinese medicine has been used in healing sports injuries for centuries. As history and treatment progressed, martial arts enthusiasts employed specialized techniques to assist the treatment and management of injuries which were caused during combat.
Today, the use of Chinese medicine, including treatments such as acupuncture and herbal therapy, is increasingly popular with athletes, fitness enthusiasts and anyone who exercises regularly.
Jennifer is an authority in Chinese medicine and can help you experience the benefits of Eastern medicinal practice to provide relief from your sports injury.
She uses acupuncture to help relieve short term pain and aid recovery from long term sports injuries. The practice has been shown to provide respite from inflammation and pain, reduce anxiety associated with injury, relieve muscle tightness, and improve blood circulation.
Other specific conditions that respond well to acupuncture include any type of orthopedic injury or pain including arthritis, spinal disc herniations, fractures, sprains, muscle and ligament tears, as well as aid in recovery post-surgery.
At your appointment, Jennifer takes a general assessment of your overall condition and health. Your injury may have caused deficiencies in your ‘Qi’ in general, the energy that flows through your body. Excessive and overstraining exercise is viewed to cause reduction in ‘Qi’ in the liver, spleen and stomach, which can lead to weakness in your sinews and muscles. Once Jennifer has assessed your condition, she will inform you which is the best course of treatment to alleviate your symptoms.
As a highly-skilled practitioner in Chinese medicine she may also implement herbal therapy to aid your recovery. Patients needing acupuncture will then have ultrafine needles placed on pressure points, which can help to ensure the optimum release to relieve pain and restore movement.
