At Anjuna Sports Acupuncture in Eugene, Oregon, we specialize in advanced practice orthopedic acupuncture treatments with the goal of resolving stubborn pain — from neck, shoulder, knee, and low‑back conditions to tendonitis, ligament sprains, and nerve entrapments — and in engineering targeted recovery plans for acute crises such as muscle spasms, ankle sprains, bone bruises, and rotator‑cuff tears. Our orthopedically-focused, evidence‑based toolkit pairs electro‑activated motor‑point acupuncture with E‑Stim, PNF stretching, myofascial release, postural and rehabilitative exercise, fire cupping, IASTM scraping technique, heat therapies, sports taping, and topical Chinese herbal medicine. These methods have returned elite performers to peak form, including Olympic 10 000 m record‑holder Alexi Pappas, world trail‑running champion Kimber Mattox, British steeplechaser Mel Newberry, University of Oregon pole‑vault standout Matt Hidalgo, and Boston‑to‑NYC marathon ace Rick Putnam, all proud Anjuna Ambassadors who trust us when every second counts.
Dry-Needling Electrotherapy (DN-ET) uses medical acupuncture needles with electro-stimulation to produce therapeutic results for orthopedic patients who experience chronic or acute pain often related to a sports injury. The primary reason patients request orthopedic dry-needling at our Eugene, Oregon clinic is for pain management and rehabilitation, often upon the recommendation of their primary care physician or physical therapist.
Our orthopedic sports massage is a form of fascia distortion release technique that is a hands-on soft tissue approach which facilitates a stretch into the restricted fascia. This is an intense treatment and is therapeutically different from a spa-style massage. This therapy is often combined with fire cupping, and is ideal for injured patients seeking targeted, evidence-based sports massage that relieves muscle tension for our Eugene patient base.
