[Saba Sports News] Indonesian badminton star Gregoria Mariska recently spoke about an injury she had suffered for years. She mentioned that she once suffered from a strange illness, experiencing frequent dizziness and even stopping training for a while. Later, she recovered through acupuncture treatment and returned to training, praising acupuncture as an effective therapy. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to regulate the flow of qi and the functions of internal organs, thus treating diseases and relieving symptoms. Modern research also shows that acupuncture can promote the release of endorphins and other substances, helping to reduce pain and inflammation, and is effective for certain musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. After receiving acupuncture treatment for her dizziness, Gregoria experienced relief and was able to return to training after twice-weekly sessions, indicating that acupuncture may have played a positive role in her recovery. This highlights the potential of acupuncture in treating sports-related injuries or physical discomfort. In the field of sports medicine, traditional Chinese therapies like acupuncture are gradually gaining attention, with increasing research exploring their application in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries.
