Yes: Many of my patients have sports related injuries. I work with a military population so getting people back to full duty status as quickly as possible is important. It helps to control pain and shortens recovery time.

It can.: Although it is considered an alternative therapy, it's something that can be tried if traditional methods of treatments are ineffective.
