Huntington, NY, Sep 26, 2019 /prREACH/ -- Greg McCue, a pain management expert and the founder of East to West Acupuncture, is now offering acupuncture to treat elite to everyday athletes suffering from sports injuries. McCue studied the Chinese language and history at Adelphi University, where he became deeply interested in East Asian medicine. After four years of extensive studies and training, McCue started his clinic in 2018.
"Acupuncture is an extremely effective treatment for acute and chronic issues. For acute injuries, the needles will be inserted at the local site of injury to help flush it with fresh blood to heal it. There is also the application of herbs to the skin rather than taking them orally, which helps in the relaxation or strengthening of the tissues," McCue mentions. "As for the chronic, underlying issue, this would require a thorough assessment and review of previous injuries. How you walk, how you squat, your usual posture, etc. all play a role in how chronic issues can arise."
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that originated thousands of years ago. It is based on the premise that a blockage or disturbance in the flow of the body's life energy, or qi, can cause health issues. Acupuncturists insert hair-thin needles to specific acupuncture points throughout the body to restore the flow of qi, balance the body's energy, stimulate healing, and promote relaxation. Acupuncture is said to be useful in addressing a variety of health conditions, including anxiety, arthritis, depression, chronic pain, nausea, migraine, sports injuries, and much more.
East to West Acupuncture now exclusively serves patients suffering from orthopedic and sports-related injuries. McCue specializes in treating elite athletes, and these treatment methodologies are adopted by the team to treat everyday athletes. The clinic offers orthopedics packages comprising ten and twenty treatments. Annual membership plans are also available.
