The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are in full swing, and through such events as mogul skiing, speed skating, ice hockey and snowboarding, these world-class athletes have already taken there fair share of bumps, bruises, sprains, strains and muscle pulls. Fortunately for them, they have a whole staff of physicians and practitioners taking care of them and keeping them in peak performing condition — including acupuncturists.
One day, a former football player came into Eastern Medical Center. He had terrible ankle pain, and suffered through it for two years, walking with a limp. He was forced to give up football and hadn’t played since the injury. He didn’t even exercise anymore and had gained weight as a result of inactivity. After one acupuncture treatment, the pain was gone he could walk normally again.
