Well, here's something all my patients know and I'll share it with the rest of you today! Yes, it's true...just a single acupuncture treatment can improve your muscle strength significantly! German researchers have concluded that just one acupuncture treatment can increase isometric quadriceps strength (that's your quads). These results are important not only for athletic performance, but for rehabilitation of muscles and neuromuscular function.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: If you are training for that triathlon, marathon, 5k or just want to improve your weight training, make an appointment today for acupuncture. You'd be amazed at the difference it will make for your overall performance!
