Why All Athletes Should Use Acupuncture

I watched the NYC Marathon yesterday in awe and with a huge smile on my face. I couldn’t help but tear up a few times, just from witnessing the sheer determination, enthusiasm and athleticism the runners exhibited. I have zero desire to run a marathon— but seeing this annual event fills me up with energy to tackle my own pursuits with equal power and strength.

The Marathon also reminded me of an article that I wrote for AcuTake several years ago: “Why All Athletes Should Use Acupuncture”. Acupuncture is a healing powerhouse for any type of physical injury, prevents small tweaks from becoming chronic issues, and also plays a major role in recovery after a big workout.

I regularly treat athletes of all kinds, from weekend warriors to marathon runners and professional dancers— and my hands-on approach that incorporates a range of modalities keeps people moving and helps them get out of pain.
