Sports injury relief that starts
at the first visit.
Dry needling and acupuncture in one visit, releasing the overworked muscles and trigger points that keep an injury from finishing.

Seek urgent medical care first for:
a joint that gave way or locked after a pop,
an injury you cannot put weight on,
sudden severe calf pain with swelling,
chest pain or collapse during exercise,
or numbness or weakness after a neck or back injury.
First visits are typically $300, follow-ups $250. Acunatomy is out-of-network with all plans; HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and a superbill is provided for reimbursement. Coverage and costs, explained.
"As a 40+ year old that continues to wrestle and lift, I have put my body through the ringer. I’ve gone to other treatments — acupuncture, chiropractic — but nothing has positively impacted my body as much as dry needling. Eugene is very familiar with human anatomy and appreciates the injuries that come from an active lifestyle. I highly recommend him for those looking to stay active or recover from injuries."
Does acupuncture help sports injuries?
Yes. Across 24 studies of 580 athletes, dry needling reduced pain and, where it was measured, improved range and strength. Overuse, strain, and compensation produce trigger points that shorten a muscle and hold the joint short of full load. Dry needling restores the muscle's length and function and acupuncture reduces the swelling and restores range.

Common questions about sports injury treatment.
Yes. Treatment is designed to restore function, not restrict activity. If a movement should be modified for a while, you are told which one and for how long; the goal is to keep you in your program. Athletes book before or after training.
The visit finds and releases the trigger points that are holding the muscle short and the joint under load, at full depth, with a needle; then acupuncture lowers the nervous system’s sensitivity to the injury. Both happen in the same session. Athletes who have plateaued in rehab come here for that layer.
Yes: golf, pickleball, tennis, wrestling, powerlifting, CrossFit, Hyrox, running, mixed martial arts, BJJ, and recreational fitness. Each sport has its signature loading pattern, and the assessment is built around it. The goal is full performance, not a pain-free baseline.
Not right before. Needling can leave a muscle feeling heavy or sore for a day or two, which is not what you want on race day. Keep needling at least several days out from competition and use the lighter parts of your training cycle for the deeper work.
As targeted maintenance: releasing the tissues the sport predictably overloads before those areas become injuries. A runner’s calves and glutes, a lifter’s forearms and traps; each sport has its hotspots. Treated between blocks, while training load is lower, the tissue is restored before the season tests it.
Because the strength deficit and the compensation pattern outlast the injury. A hamstring strain in the previous year makes another one more than four times as likely, and about a quarter of hamstring strains in elite football are recurrences. The treatable part is the restriction the body is working around; once that restriction is released, the next injury has nothing to build on.
