 In 2002, the World Health Organisation prepared a report that included information on the effectiveness of acupuncture. This was linked, among other things, to the increasing interest of patients in this method, which has been used for years all over the world. 

It not only finds its use in the treatment of disease and prevention, but also helps us to achieve better physical fitness.

 There are many theories to explain the mechanism of action of this method. One of them takes into account the release of neurotransmitters, which occurs when the corresponding points are pricked with a needle. These substances have analgesic and anti-inflammatory functions, and also have a positive effect on our mental wellbeing.

Acupuncture in sports medicine and rehabilitation

Thanks to its properties, acupuncture is also widely used for patients requiring rehabilitation or suffering from sports injuries. It has been found that puncturing the appropriate areas on the body leads to strengthening and improvement of the musculoskeletal and circulatory systems. Another benefit for the patient is the elimination of pain and a better rate of injury healing, as well as recovery. All these properties, combined with an improved mental wellbeing, make rehabilitation more effective and recovery faster.

• Strengthens and improves the musculoskeletal system
• Removes fatigue and regenerates strength
• Improves mental state
• Strengthens the capacity of the heart and lungs
• Accelerates the healing of sports injuries (muscle, tendon rupture)
• Relieves acute myalgia, root pain and painful muscle spasms in a short time

 Several acupuncture treatments combined with rehabilitation speed up the patient's return to normal life considerably.
