Sporting Injuries
At Kylin Town Acupuncture, we are proud to offer treatment for a variety of sporting injuries. Our skilled practitioners help alleviate pain and promote healing, ensuring you can return to your favourite activities as soon as possible.
The Integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Sports Rehabilitation
The combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and sports rehabilitation is the result of the intersection between traditional medicine and modern sports science. It aims to utilise TCM theories and methods to promote the recovery of sports injuries, accelerate athletes’ physical recovery, and improve overall physical function.
1. Differentiated Diagnosis and Personalised Rehabilitation Plans
TCM emphasises the principle of “treatment based on syndrome differentiation,” which involves creating personalised rehabilitation plans according to the individual’s specific conditions (such as the location, nature, and severity of the injury, as well as differences in physical constitution). This personalised approach helps to address sports injuries more precisely, facilitating functional recovery.
2. Internal and External Applications of Herbal Medicine
The application of herbal medicine in sports rehabilitation is extensive:
• Internal Use: Herbal medicine taken orally can regulate qi and blood, eliminate blood stasis to relieve pain, and promote tissue repair.
• External Use: Topical applications, such as plasters, herbal baths, and poultices, act directly on the affected area, reducing swelling, alleviating pain, and improving blood circulation.
3. Acupuncture and Tui Na (Therapeutic Massage)
• Acupuncture: By stimulating specific acupoints, acupuncture regulates the flow of qi and blood, alleviates muscle tension, and supports nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
• Tui Na (Massage Therapy): Therapeutic massage enhances local blood circulation, accelerates the elimination of metabolic waste, relieves muscle fatigue, and promotes the repair of soft tissues.
