If you are suffering from pain after sports, treatment options are endless. If your nervous system is not functioning properly then your body is not able to produce pain-free movement, even if the structures of the body are in working order. You experience painful movement with chronic injuries because the nervous system isn’t working properly, not necessarily because of physical damage. A dysfunction in the nervous system results in a disconnect between muscles and the central nervous system, causing not only pain but also weakness and the inability to move properly. One of the best, and most researched, therapies to treat chronic pain is contemporary electroacupuncture (also known as neurofunctional acupuncture) because of its multi-level effect in the central nervous system.  It resets your nervous system so that it stops overreacting to normal stimuli, which helps reduce pain more effectively.
