During the course of Chinese civilisation, Chinese Medicine (CM) has survived numerous warring periods. Overtime, Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and martial arts became inseparable. From the ancient warrior to the urban warrior (professional or weekend), acupuncture is effective in treating injuries sustained from battles on the rugby field, tennis/basketball court, triathlon circuit, overhang, eco-circuit, octagon; to the “gaming console.”

Contemporary scientific research has demonstrated that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is effectively used for the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions, including frozen shoulder, neurological pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, lumbar pain, knee pain, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, achilles tendonitis, bursitis, spurs, Morton’s neuroma, plantar faciitis, and sciatica.
