Benefits of Acupuncture for Pickleball Injuries and Tennis Elbow
If you have a pickleball injury like tennis elbow, you must make sure it is fully healed before you return to the game. Playing pickleball with an injury can aggravate the it and cause chronic pain and permanent stiffness or loss of range of motion of your arm and shoulder. At O’Keefe Chiropractic Center, our chiropractor and acupuncturist work together to provide personalized sports injury rehabilitation services. Here is a look at the biggest benefits of using a combination of chiropractic care and acupuncture in Medford, NJ, for the treatment of tennis elbow and other pickleball injuries.
Accelerate Healing and Rehabilitation
Acupuncture and chiropractic care can unlock your body’s natural healing abilities. Rather than using invasive procedures or dangerous prescription painkillers, our chiropractor and acupuncturist will stimulate natural biological healing processes in your body that relieve swelling and inflammation, accelerate rehabilitation, reduce pain and stiffness, and improve range of motion and flexibility.
Relieve Pain Without the Use of Prescription Drugs
During acupuncture, our acupuncturist Moises Moris, Jr. will insert thin, sterile needles into targeted treatment points on your body. These treatment points correspond to symptoms caused by tennis elbow or other pickleball injuries. Your body will respond to the insertion of the needles by releasing pain-killing chemicals like endorphins. Acupuncture also jump starts other healing processes, such as increased blood flow, that reduce inflammation, muscle spasms and cramps, muscle tension, and other symptoms.
Improve Range of Motion, Strength, and Flexibility
Acupuncture and chiropractic care target the underlying cause of your sports injury symptoms. Because acupuncture can relieve inflammation, stiffness, and pain, you can regain use of your arm and shoulder faster. Chiropractic care can address structural issues, spinal dysfunction, and other symptoms or complications of tennis elbow and pickleball injuries. Treatment is designed to improve core strength and range of motion and restore mobility and flexibility.
Reduce the Risk of Complications
If home treatment of your pickleball injury isn’t working, you risk long-term complications like chronic pain, permanent stiffness, and loss of range of motion of your arm or shoulder. Playing pickleball with an injury can aggravate and worsen the injury or increase your risk of additional injuries. O’Keefe Chiropractic Center can provide swift, targeted treatment that addresses your underlying injury and rehabilitates it so that you are less likely to develop complications.
