Built Around Your Activity

You do not have to be a professional athlete.

Care is shaped around how you move, what is limiting you, and what you want to get back to—from competition and training to golf, pickleball, running, or simply staying active.

Recent Injuries

Support for sprains, strains, muscle guarding, and pain that lingers after the initial injury has been medically evaluated.

Overuse & Repetitive Stress

Focused care for recurring concerns involving shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and other heavily used areas.

Mobility & Performance

Address restricted movement, muscular tension, and recovery demands that can interfere with training or everyday activity.

Return to Activity

A practical plan to support recovery and help you resume activity with more comfort and confidence.

Focused, Functional Care

Treatment designed around how your body moves.

Mike blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with an orthopedic understanding of muscles, joints, and movement. Each visit is adjusted to your condition, activity demands, and response to treatment.

Your Sports Acupuncturist

Mike Ackerman

Owner & Acupuncturist

Mike works with active people who want practical treatment and a clear path forward.

He looks beyond the sore spot to understand the movement pattern, training demand, or compensation that may be keeping the problem active. Whether you compete, train on weekends, play recreational sports, or simply want to remain active, treatment is tied to what you need your body to do.

What to Expect

A practical plan for getting back to movement.

1

Assess the Problem

Discuss the injury, your activity, previous care, movement limitations, and what a successful return looks like.

2

Treat What Is Limiting You

Your visit may include acupuncture, orthopedic techniques, cupping, or other appropriate methods.

3

Adjust as You Improve

Mike reviews your response and adapts the plan as your pain, mobility, and activity tolerance change.

Acupuncture supports recovery—it does not replace diagnosis.

New, severe, or worsening injuries should receive appropriate medical evaluation. Sports acupuncture can complement medical care, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and a safe return-to-activity plan.

Your Next Step
