recovery
Studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective modality for treating physical repetitive-stress injuries such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. It's also helpful for exercise induced fatigue in that it backregulates the metabolisms of energy and choline. In addition, the rate at which it reduces oxidative stress is much quicker than without acupuncture. Acupuncture has also been found to reduce pain in athletes.
