It’s always really cool to see parents supporting their children and it’s extra cool for me when that involves acupuncture.
Let’s talk about sports again! Here’s an amazing Mom with her son who’s a talented wide receiver for his local high school. (Go go WR6!) National Institutes of Health studies conclude adolescent football players showed a significant decrease in DOMS (muscle soreness) over the duration of 5 days without adverse effects or compromising their wellbeing. Further, flexibility and muscle function improved while competitive anxiety decreased. Research also highlighted treating acute conditions (calf cramping or minor sprains) with acupuncture on the sideline/field in a high school training environment is not only feasible but also safe and effective. (Awesome)
If you yourself parent a sporty kid or know someone who does or knows a young person who competes in sports, let them know about acupuncture or pop in with them, they absolutely will benefit. .6
