Southend Acupuncture Sports Injury Clinic

Padel is one of the fastest growing racket sports, combining explosive movements, rapid changes of direction, powerful overhead shots, and sustained grip strength. These demands place significant strain on muscles, joints, and tendons, making players prone to overuse injuries, joint pain, and muscular imbalance.

At our clinic, acupuncture is used as a highly effective, natural treatment to both relieve pain and speed recovery for padel players of all levels.

How Acupuncture Helps Padel Injuries

Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and restoring balance to muscles, tendons, and the nervous system.

Reduces pain and inflammation

Fine needles stimulate local anti-inflammatory responses and improve lymphatic drainage, helping swollen and irritated tissues recover more quickly.

Improves circulation and tissue healing

Increased blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients to injured areas, accelerating the repair of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Releases tight muscles and trigger points

Padel players often develop tightness and imbalance, especially on their dominant side.

Acupuncture helps relax overworked muscles, improving joint movement and reducing strain.

Calms nerve sensitivity

Chronic sports injuries often involve nerve irritation. Acupuncture helps reset pain signals, reducing ongoing discomfort and improving mobility.
