What Makes Our Approach Different
Sports acupuncture at Optima goes beyond symptom relief. We combine the diagnostic depth of Western orthopedics with the restorative power of acupuncture and TCM pattern differentiation. Every session is customized to your condition, recovery stage, and performance goals.
- Targeted neuromuscular activation: ultra-fine, sterile needles trigger beneficial neuromuscular and physiologic responses.
- Comprehensive assessment: orthopedic and movement-based evaluations identify the root cause of pain or dysfunction.
- Integrated treatment plans: coordinated care with referring physicians, physical therapists, and trainers for evidence-aligned outcomes.

What to Expect
Your first visit includes a comprehensive orthopedic and movement evaluation alongside a detailed TCM intake. From there, we design a targeted plan that may include acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, or therapeutic exercises to enhance recovery and prevent re-injury.
Most patients experience relief within the first few sessions, though optimal results often come from a short treatment series tailored to your condition.
