Athletes using Chinese Medicine

It is very common that athletes get acupuncture and most articles tend to put the spotlight on football players. But this time, the featured athlete is a boxer named Anthony Joshua. Typically when you read an article about athletes and acupuncture, the treatment is more towards the extreme. A normal acupuncture session uses around 20-30 needles on average but some patients require less. When using the cupping technique, the usual amount of cups used is between 2 and 4. So while these articles can take us by surprise, it is wonderful seeing athletes using Chinese Medicine as a part of their healing process.
