\u00a0(if you don\u2019t, then translate to your favorite sport)You keep your boards waxed and your edges sharp, right?\u00a0 Are you keeping your body tuned up?\u00a0 Don\u2019t endure pain. Pain is your body\u2019s way of communicating to you that it needs attention\u2026a lot like the check engine light on the dashboard of a car.I am always keeping active and sometimes I tweak or bang something.I learned the hard way and spent most of the 1990\u2019s in chronic pain from a football injury.\u00a0 Then I discovered acupuncture for myself.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to me and I want you all to stay tuned up for your sport with acupuncture because it makes a difference.\u00a0 Acupuncture can help in ways that nothing else can.Acupuncture is great to help prevent sports injuries and to recover from old injuries.The wholistic perspective of Chinese Medicine provides solutions to almost any injury.Far too often people go straight to a physical therapist or chiropractor, but usually it is too early and PT or a chiropractor can slow the recovery or cause more problems.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love PT and chiropractic but in my personal and professional experience and backed up with increasing scientific evidence, we need to start with acupuncture.Acupuncture is unique and has many tools to help your body heal.From acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, and herbal medicine our acupuncturists at The WellBridge Clinic are able to effectively provide immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation.You might be thinking, \u201cBut John, I am pretty healthy.\u00a0 What can acupuncture do for me?\u201d\u00a0 Think of it like this:\u00a0 Do you know anyone who has ever bought a car then start driving it\u2026they never change the oil, never rotate the tires, no tune ups?\u00a0 Probably not, but how do you think that would go? So often we take better care of all the things around us, but not ourselves.\u00a0 Our bodies are dynamic machines and it\u2019s time we all start keeping tuned up.Have you tried acupuncture for that?\u00a0\u00a0Make an appointment and see how you can recover quicker and stay on top of your game with acupuncture.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oJ2yEJaEGxY” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\t\t\t\t"}
