Runner with Knee Pain?

by nicole on April 13, 2011

Many people are entering marathons, and as a result, a host of sport related injuries can result.  Acupuncture is amazing with regard to healing injuries fast and preventing new injuries from occurring.  Consider the following testimonial:

I’ve struggled with knee pain and shin splints for several years from running and teaching fitness classes.  After a few acupuncture sessions with Nicole Smith, at The Pampered Porcupine, I was able to run the 2010 Surf City Half Marathon pain-free.  She made my training easier; I recovered in no time, and I had no lingering injuries as with previous races.

I’m forever grateful,

Martha Franks

I was a figure skater for 8 years.  My first acupuncture experience was the result of my coach referring me to an acupuncturist for chronic pains I had in many areas of my body.  After years of suffering with these pains, I had finally found something that worked.  Even today, I can still pursue all the sports I wish to, without the pain and risk of injuries, thanks to the small acupuncture needles.
