EXAMINE
RESTORE
REJUVENATE
Our bodies carry incredible amounts of stress and tension.
In addition, those of us who excel in sports are prone to injury and scarring that can cause long-term harm, both physically and mentally. Caring for your body and mind means occasionally taking time to consider acupuncture and sports therapy.
Acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, and other specialized therapies can help you to maintain incredible flexibility and strength. Acupuncture is not simply a go-to for pain relief – it can – and will – ensure that you are fighting fit, and are at the top of your game!
From a simple consultation, you’ll receive a personal plan of care and action. This supports a full initial assessment and questionnaire – and you will have the time and space to ask any questions you desire.
Why pain management matters
Acute or chronic pain is more than the occasional twinge or ache. This level of pain is hard to ignore – and not only can it lead to long-term painkiller use, but it may also restrict you from doing the things in life that bring you pleasure.
It is all too easy to continue through life believing that pain will dissipate on its own. However, the more you exert yourself, the more strain you will put on your body. Pain management therapy at LycoAcu, therefore, can help your muscles and joints to recuperate and to regain flexibility.
Whether you want to regain mobility to enjoy retirement or need help managing pain so you can keep active at work, it’s always worthwhile considering acupuncture for long-term relief and restoration of functionality.
Why sports therapy?
Sports therapy has become more and more important for athletes and active people to undertake in recent times. We understand more about what causes injuries and stress to our bodies than ever before. Acupuncture, however, happens to be a practice that is centuries old – though it still helps to support millions of active people to regain flexibility and perform at their best.
When undertaking sports therapy at LycoAcu, you can both help your body to repair and readjust from discomfort and injury. However, we also highly recommend regular sessions of acupuncture in Lewisburg, PA to support future activity. The more supple and energized your body is, the readier you are prepared to push yourself to the next level.
Our bodies deserve respect – and no matter where you are in your career or fitness journey, sports therapy can help unlock doors you may not even have known were closed.
Services at LycoAcu
As seasoned experts in sports therapy, pain management, and acupuncture, LycoAcu is pleased to offer a variety of services. We understand that no two visitors to our clinic have the same issues. That’s why we carefully discuss your available options and carefully assess your strength before any therapy begins.
Here’s a run-through of what we have to offer at our clinic:
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture has been effective in reducing aches, strains, and chronic pain for hundreds of years. As trained specialists in the procedure, we are in a position to offer a variety of acupuncture sessions bespoke to your specific needs.
It is a common misconception that acupuncture is painful! It is in fact a very warming procedure, with energy gently flowing across your body’s nervous system to help remedy strains and release flexibility.
Cupping
Dry and wet cupping both revolve around the use of a vacuum to stimulate your body’s blood flow. The science behind this treatment dictates that blood flowing to pain points and problem areas can receive greater healing support.
Cupping is often recommended for specific pain and muscle stiffness, though it is recommended in a wide variety of use cases. During your initial sessions at LycoAcu, you will have the chance to discuss this treatment as a potential route toward respite.
Strength Assessment
It’s crucial that, before any treatment sessions, we test your body’s current strength profile. This initial two-hour session will help us – and you – understand your body’s capacities and current stress levels a little closer. This assessment is vital for helping to ascertain which services are likely to benefit you the best.
No one goes into acupuncture truly knowing the ‘perfect’ solution for their aches and pains. Therefore, strength assessments allow us to run physicals to better tailor your experience.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Soft tissue mobilization, also taking into account the highly effective Graston Technique, is recommended to help support athletes and active people searching for injury respite. This technique uses various tools and instruments to target areas of strain and injury that may otherwise be holding you back from further training.
In many cases, soft tissue mobilization can help to remedy problems experienced as a result of musculoskeletal deterioration. However, we widely recommend it for a variety of other ailments, too.
Electrostimulation
Electrostimulation is highly recommended as a fantastic enhancement to traditional acupuncture. By combining the basic principles of acupuncture with gentle electrical current, this process helps to re-energize your body, allowing you to regain new energy.
Electrostimulation may be recommended to you if traditional acupuncture is unsuitable or otherwise inappropriate for your condition or needs. Once again, we will carefully take you through the best services for your body.
Dry Needling
Dry needling can be confused with acupuncture, however, this process traditionally targets muscle knots and areas of the body that are particularly tight. This is another recommended service we provide across both pain management and sports therapy clinics.
Dry needling can help you to regain flexibility and function in legs and arms, and may even help you to reach that next important goal in your fitness regime.
