About Acupuncture for Athletics
Acupuncture for Athletics is a specialized sports medicine practice led by Andrew Castellanos, a licensed Sports Acupuncturist and Sports Massage Therapist with over 25 years of experience. Andrew has a deep understanding of the body from both Western and Eastern perspectives, allowing him to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to treating sports injuries and chronic pain. Clients praise Andrew's mastery of the human body and his ability to "read" each patient's unique situation. He utilizes a variety of techniques, including acupuncture, dry needling, massage, cupping, and laser therapy, to address both acute and chronic pain. Many patients have found success with Andrew's treatments, reporting significant improvements in their conditions and a newfound ability to return to their active lifestyles. One client, who had struggled with chronic upper back and neck pain, was amazed by the immediate relief they experienced after their first session with Andrew. They felt as if they had been given a "brand new back" and could exercise without any pain. Another client, who had tried various Western medical treatments for a complex knee injury, was able to avoid surgery and find relief through Andrew's holistic approach. The client appreciated Andrew's patience, determination, and flexibility in addressing the root cause of the issue, rather than just treating the symptoms. Recently, clients have shared positive experiences with acupuncture and cupping, noticing a huge difference in both physical and mental health after just a few appointments. One client with severe muscular back pain, caused by sleeping weirdly on one side, was able to regain mobility after a session that included cupping, acupuncture, and massage. They described feeling like they had been "beat up by a bunch of thugs," but also noted that 80% of their stiffness and pain was gone after the treatment. By the next day, they experienced near-full mobility without pain and were grateful for the results, especially the intense massage that contributed to their recovery. Across the reviews, clients consistently express gratitude for Andrew's expertise, kindness, and dedication to helping them achieve their health and wellness goals. Whether dealing with sports-related injuries or chronic pain, Andrew's patients find his blend of Western and Eastern medical knowledge to be truly transformative in their recovery and overall well-being.
Have had two appointments now and will be making more in the future. I’ve been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for a few years now and decided to check out acupuncture and cupping. After two appointments I already notice a huge difference in my physical and mental health. Highly recommend if you are considering acupuncture and cupping.
Highly recommended.
Ali is a great and well professional man.
I definitely recommend him for your acupuncture appointments.
I promise you won’t disappoint. ☺️☺️☺️
Extremely impressed. I had severe muscular back pain and stiffness due to sleeping weirdly on one side that got so bad I literally couldn't move from the couch for an entire day. Andrew helped diagnose the problem as muscular stiffness rather than injury in a matter of minutes and walked me through a treatment plan.
After the first session of a trio of cupping, acupuncture, and massage, I felt like I got beat up by a bunch of thugs but I could tell 80% of the stiffness and pain from muscle tightness was gone. Sleeping that night was still hard, but by the afternoon of the next day I realize nearly all of my mobility was coming back without pain. Another day later...read full review
