Which sports medicine treatments are available?
To find the root cause of your pain and determine which sports medicine treatment is right for you, a Scarsdale Health & Wellness provider discusses your symptoms and medical history.
They complete a physical exam and might recommend blood tests, X-rays, MRIs, or other imaging procedures.
Your personalized sports medicine treatment plan might include:
Acupuncture
During an acupuncture treatment, your Scarsdale Health & Wellness specialist places tiny needles in targeted areas to stimulate healing naturally and improve your body's energy flow.
Dry needling
Dry needling is like acupuncture because it uses tiny, very fine needles. However, dry needling targets tight muscle fibers, or trigger points, to treat musculoskeletal injuries and relieve pain.
Acupressure
Acupressure is also like acupuncture, but without the needles. It’s similar to massage. Your acupuncturist places manual pressure on tight or injured areas to stimulate your body’s healing capability.
Nutrition and supplements
Getting proper nutrition is a key component of sports medicine and healing. Scarsdale Health & Wellness uses clinical nutrition counseling, herbal medicine, and other dietary supplements to optimize healing and prevent reinjury.
