Imbalance

The movement of joints is conducted and controlled by muscles. If muscles become too tight on one side of a joint from overuse/ bad posture or form, it can cause the ones on the other side to become weak from underuse - causing a “muscle imbalance”. 

This imbalance can lead to potential injury. Acupuncture is an effective and safe way to treat these imbalances and prevent injury by treating the overused muscles that have tightened up and are in spasm. It also increases blood flow to the area to prevent pain and decrease inflammation. 

One of the many reasons to try acupuncture!
