- Necessary Skills for a Successful Sports Medicine Acupuncture Practice

I have been working in the field of sports medicine since I first began practice in 1981. I am fortunate to have been able to experience the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, as well as track and field, cycling and skiing events nationally over the last four decades. It has been an honor to be among these early practitioners integrating acupuncture and traditional Chinese principles with orthopedics. It has helped to forge a specialty community within the acupuncture profession for learning how to treat injury and pain.
My first publication, The Acupuncture Handbook of Sports Injuries and Pain, attempted to define some of these concepts for both diagnosis and treatment of common complaints experienced by athletes and active individuals. Since then, this material became available in The Acupuncture Sports Medicine Apprenticeship Program, what I consider my “flagship” teaching series. And interested practitioners can get online instruction, which includes the most current video Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain.
I have full confidence that dedicated clinicians in the years to come will continue to add their insights and empirical experiences to this growing field of sports acupuncture.
