What is Sports Acupuncture?

What is Sports Acupuncture?

Not just for athletes, sports acupuncture is for anyone with musculoskeletal pain. Maybe you or someone you know has an injury from sports or work, repetitive strain, or something else.  Maybe you’ve been told, “We’ve done all we can do for you.” Well, don’t give up yet.  

What’s missing from many conventional approaches is identifying the root cause of the problem before offering treatment. At White Magnolia, we combine the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with western anatomical assessment to treat at the source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

Wishing you good health,

John, Dr. Jeannie, Jacquie and Elliott
