Sports Wellness Acupuncture in Encinitas treats orthopedic injuries and sports-related pain from its Second Street suite near the Self Realization Fellowship gardens. The clinic's certified sports-medicine acupuncturist holds a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College and applies motor-point needling and electroacupuncture protocols for rotator cuff, ACL, and repetitive-strain injuries — musculoskeletal cases also managed by Leucadia Chiropractic Wellness Clinic through spinal adjustment. Treatment plans integrate traditional Chinese herbal medicine with trigger-point dry needling, addressing both the meridian-system imbalance and the myofascial trigger that produces referred pain patterns. Post-surgical rehabilitation patients recovering from arthroscopic and joint-replacement procedures receive needle-and-cupping protocols designed to accelerate tissue repair, reduce post-operative edema, and restore range of motion — a timeline that parallels the manual-therapy progressions at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy. The practice utilizes Seirin J-Type filiform needles in 0.16–0.30 mm gauges paired with electrostimulation units delivering 2–100 Hz frequencies to modulate both endorphin and enkephalin pathways for acute and chronic pain conditions.
