Acupuncture: An Integrative Treatment for Chronic Pain from Soft Tissue and Sport Injury will be presented by Steve Liu, L.Ac., BSEE from HanLing Acupuncture Healing Center on Monday, December 12, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. in La Mesa Room at La Hacienda Clubhouse.
One of the most common chronic pain disorders is caused by soft tissue injuries such as tendonitis, muscle strain and ligament sprain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), icing and cortisone injections usually are prescribed to relieve pain. They do rid inflammation and ease the pain quickly the first time they are used, but when applied frequently they lose their effectiveness and the acute disorder becomes chronic pain condition.
This presentation will introduce an integrative approach to effectively cure chronic soft tissue injuries and resolve pain completely within five to 10 clinic visits. The technique integrates traditional Chinese acupuncture, cross-fiber massage and low-level laser therapy. Clinical cases such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, shoulder tendonitis and knee ligament sprain will be discussed.
