Sports Medicine Acupuncture for your body and soul
We embrace a comprehensive approach, empowering you to reduce pain, enhance your well-being, and continue your active lifestyle.
In depth assessments to help diagnose and understand your injury
Targeted treatments, customized specifically for you, that get results
A holistic approach combining the best of Eastern and Western medicine
Educational sessions that help you understand your body or injury
Experience personalized care instead of feeling like a number
Our healthcare system is often faced with the challenge of managing high patient volumes. As a result, there may be limited time to fully explore the root causes of your pain or discomfort. This can leave you feeling unheard or unattended to, and oftentimes, not much better. Our goal is to offer you a different experience—one where your concerns are genuinely heard, and we take the time to understand the source of your pain or injury.
Is sports acupuncture right for you?
Our patients rely on their physical well-being for their livelihood and quality of life, and are eager to gain a deeper understanding of their bodies to take an active role in their health. If you are looking for treatments that are nurturing, mindful and holistic, you are in the right place.
Acupuncture can help with:
- New or recent injuries
- Nagging pain or limitation from an old injury
- Preparing or recovering from surgery
- Enhancing your recovery from training
- Improving poor posture
Tailored care that goes above and beyond
Our thorough acupuncture treatments pull from a variety of techniques tailored to your unique physical demands, injuries and performance goals. You will leave sessions feeling better, supported and looking forward to your next visit.
Acupuncture appointments can include the following treatments:
Sports Medicine Acupuncture
This specific type of Acupuncture combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western sports medicine. It improves joint balance, posture allowing you to be more resilient to whatever life throws at you (or you throw at it!).
Manual Therapy
There are a variety of different manual techniques that we may combine with acupuncture based on your unique needs. These could include: deep tissue massage, ART, or structural integration, along with cupping and gua sha and PNF movements.
Lifestyle / Corrective Exercise
Taking into account the in depth assessments, exercises for “homework” are given to help continue to improve postural balance and fun(k)tion.
I don’t trust everyone with my body and was skeptical about acupuncture. But he made me a believer.
Ian is the best! He is very knowledgeable, professional and actually cares about your well-being. Being a professional athlete, I don’t trust everyone with my body and was skeptical about acupuncture. But he made me a believer.
I first met Ian for some hip/leg pain I’d been having from an injury. He listened to every word I said then came up with a plan that would help me. He treated parts of me that I didn’t even know I needed, which were actually connected to my hip/leg pain.
I left that treatment feeling better and couldn’t believe it.
