Acupuncture
with Samantha Fusco
Acupuncture is a highly effective therapy for athletes and active individuals, promoting recovery, reducing pain, and enhancing performance. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, it helps improve circulation, decrease inflammation, and relieve muscle tension. Samantha Fusco offers a range of treatment techniques tailored to your needs:
-
Acupuncture – Traditional acupuncture and trigger point needling (also known as dry needling) target tight muscles and pain points to release tension and improve mobility.
-
Electroacupuncture – This technique uses mild electrical stimulation on acupuncture needles to enhance pain relief, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
-
Cupping Therapy – A suction-based therapy that helps loosen tight muscles, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
-
Heat Therapy – We utilize moxibustion (burning a healing herb near the skin) and infrared heat lamps to improve blood flow, reduce stiffness, and support deep tissue healing.
Beyond sports recovery, acupuncture can also help with stress management, fertility, weight loss, sleep quality, and overall well-being. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for an event, or simply looking to feel your best, these therapies offer a natural, holistic approach to health and performance.
