What does research have to say about the use of acupuncture for the treatment of sports-related injuries in athletes?
A review of clinical case reports confirmed acupuncture can help relieve short-term pain and recovery from dysfunction and has been used as a useful, non-invasive, and conservative modality for managing sports injuries.
Some of the sports injury cases included lateral meniscus rupture, femoral acetabular impingement, ganglion cysts, and sports hernia.
These cases showed the potential of acupuncture in the treatment of various types of sports injuries beyond pain control in musculoskeletal disorders.
Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, with acupuncture now being a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
