Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized treatment for sports injuries, combining Chinese and Western medical methods to relieve pain, accelerate recovery, and restore athletic ability.
Muscle Strain
Muscle strain is a common sports injury in Vancouver, often occurring during intense physical activity or inadequate warm-up. This type of injury can result from sudden vigorous activity that stretches the muscle beyond its normal range. For example, in sports like basketball, soccer, or baseball, sudden turns or accelerations can lead to muscle strains.
Alive Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic offers professional treatment services for muscle strains. We use acupuncture, Tui Na massage, herbal remedies, and poultices to help alleviate muscle pain, promote tissue repair, and recovery. Our treatment plans also includes appropriate rest and rehabilitation training to ensure patients can quickly return to their pre-injury state.
Joint Sprains and Dislocations
Joint sprains and dislocations are common sports injuries, typically occurring when athletes experience external forces during movement or unstable standing or walking. In sports like basketball and soccer, sudden turns or kicking movements can cause ankle sprains; while improper movements in sports like baseball or tennis can cause shoulder dislocations.
Our treatment plans target specific injury types, using acupuncture, external herbal applications, plaster therapy, and manipulative techniques to realign joints and alleviate pain. We also provide rehabilitation training to help patients strengthen joint stability and function, reducing the risk of re-injury.
Ligament Injury
Ligament injuries result from intense physical activity or accidental twists that cause ligaments to be overstretched or torn. In sports like running, basketball, or soccer, rapid turns or sudden stops can lead to ligament injuries in areas such as the knee or ankle joints.
Alive Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic offers acupuncture treatment, herbal poultices, herbal steaming, or specific physiotherapy programs to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. We also provide appropriate rehabilitation training and injury prevention measures to help patients restore ligament stability and function.
Tendonitis or Tendon Injury
Tendonitis or tendon injuries are common in sports requiring repetitive force, such as tennis, squash, and rowing. These repetitive movements can lead to overuse or improper stretching of the tendons, causing inflammation or injury.
Alive Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic addresses tendonitis or tendon injuries through acupuncture at specific acupoints, herbal remedies, and massage techniques to reduce inflammation and improve tendon function. We also offer personalized rehabilitation plans to help patients recover tendon elasticity and strength, reducing the risk of re-injury.
Moxibustion Treatment
Moxibustion treatment involves applying heat to specific acupoints or affected areas using burning mugwort leaves. This promotes local blood circulation, accelerates inflammation reduction, relieves pain, and promote tissue repair. Moxibustion treatment can penetrate deep into muscles, relax muscles, relieve muscle tension, and improve comfort and range of motion.
At Alive Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, we offer professional moxibustion treatment services, combining traditional Chinese medicine theories with modern medical techniques to create personalized treatment plans for various sports injury issues. Our experienced team of physicians provides safe and effective treatments to help clients recover their health quickly. Whether it is muscle strain, joint sprain, or ligament injury, moxibustion treatment is a safe and effective choice to help clients alleviate pain and accelerate recovery.
