Features of Sports and Orthopedic Acupuncture at Pulse Acupuncture in Clifton, NJ
When treating a recurring injury in sport acupuncture for athletes, palpation, muscle length tests, range of motion testing is applied to assess latent stagnation. This condition is characterized by fixed pain points located at and around the motor point, decreased range of motion, muscle imbalance, soft tissue adhesions and recurring injury.
TDP lamps
A popular form of heat therapy is far-infrared (FI) wavelength energy lamps. Far infrared has been reported to penetrate up to .8 inches beneath the skin, with benefits such as enhanced white blood cell function, enhanced delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the soft tissue and improved lymph circulation. There are also reports of TDP therapy being effective in treating ailments such as chronic wounds, joint pain, arthritis, back pain injuries
Myofascial Massage Techniques
In Sports Medicine Acupuncture, various massage techniques are used such as tuina, active release, soft tissue release, myofascial release and others. These different techniques all involve the manipulation of myofascial tissues to help relieve tension, break up fascial adhesions, increase blood flow and help re-educate neuromuscular receptors.
Importance of TCM theory and integration with Sports Medicine
The zang organs or the solid organs, are of particular importance to musculoskeletal health and injury rehabilitation not only because of their function or producing, transforming, regulating and storing the primary substances, but because of their associations with the various tissues of the body.
Lungs in TCM theory
- Rule Qi of the chest
- Rule Qi and control respiration
- Regulate Water Passages
- Govern the skin
- Circulate protective qi
Based on the anatomical location and their aspect of influence, the Lungs play a role in upper back and chest injuries including thoracic outlet syndrome and upper back syndrome which often present with a deficiency of Lung Qi.
Because of the Lungs dual roles of ruling the Qi of the chest and regulating water passages, deficient Lung Qi can lead to edema of the upper body, which can be observed in carpal tunnel syndrome. Lung qi deficiency leads to overall weakness of the body.
Spleen in TCM theory
- Governs transformation and transportation of food into qi and blood
- Directs of ascending movement of qi
- Governs the blood
- Keeps blood within its pathways
- Rules the four limbs
- Corresponds with the soft, fleshy part of muscle tissue
- Impact of Musculoskeletal Health
Recovery from injury may be prolonged when the Spleen is unable to create abundant qi and blood due to poor dietary or lifestyle choices.
The Spleen directs the ascending movement of qi. For this reason, Spleen function should be assessed in cases of foot over-pronation, which involves collapse of the medial arch of the foot. Another example is seen in upper crossed syndrome where the kyphotic curve of the thoracic spine is increased, which causes the middle portion of the body to collapse. Clinically, patients with upper crossed syndrome posture will often exhibit signs and symptoms of a Spleen qi pathology.
If the quality of muscle tone and its appearance are less than optimal or if a muscle strain is not healing well, the functioning of the Spleen should be assessed due to its association with muscle tissue.

Liver in TCM theory
Traditional function is to store blood. It is responsible for the smooth flow and movement of qi and blood and the movement and coordination of the body in general.
Rules the sinews. In TCM, “sinews” not only refers to the tissues that biomedicine knows as tendons but also refers to the quality of ropiness that can be palpated in certain muscle tissue, e.g. the upper trapezius.
Impact on Musculoskeletal Health. Liver Qi moves upwards and outwards, which means that the Liver is responsible for getting qi and blood to the limbs and coordinating all movement and physical activity.

Impact on Musculoskeletal Health. Liver Qi moves upwards and outwards, which means that the Liver is responsible for getting qi and blood to the limbs and coordinating all movement and physical activity.
Physical activity requires the Liver Blood to provide moisture and nourishment to the body’s tissues in order to promote smooth movement and prevent injury.
If the Liver bolt fails to moisten sufficiently, tendinopathies, numbness of the limbs, paresthesia and difficulty in bending or stretching may occur. Although the classics never discuss a nervous system as such, we look to the Liver when a patient presents with spasms and contracture and view the Liver as the organ most typically associated with muscular nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis, hemiplegia from stroke, tremor, etc. Liver’s responsibility, like the nervous system’s function of motor control, to maintain the evenness and coordination of the body’s movements.

Heart and Pericardium in TCM theory
Traditional Functions:
- Store the Jing
- Govern growth, development and maturation
- Regulate both the fire and water of the body
- Dominate the spine and the residence of the low back
- Rule the bones, joints and ligaments
- Impact on Musculoskeletal health
A decline of the warming function of Kidney yang qi leads to a decrease in the circulation of protective qi, which contributes to the development of painful obstruction syndrome.
Joint pain requires assessment of the Kidneys because of their relationship to bone and their influence on the ligaments. The Kidneys govern body fluids, particularly “ye” fluids such as synovial fluids, which lubricate the joints and nourish the ligaments.
With the decline of Kidney energy, normal degenerative changes in the spine occur and predispose the aging athlete to injury.

In general, acute injuries tend to heal quicker than chronic injuries. When treating recurring injuries, especially when they are related to an occupation or a sport-related activity, the patient may need to be treated on a periodic basis for maintenance.

I was a patient of Marina Doktorma for about two weeks (October/November 2020), receiving acupuncture treatments for lower back and knee pain. Marina is a true professional. Before beginning each treatment, she explained the treatment options and made sure that I was well informed and comfortable before beginning. She was very gentle as she administered the treatments, (I feel asleep a few times) communicating with me throughout the process. In addition to the premise being very clean, relaxing music made for a very calming experience. Without hesitation, I would return for future treatments if the pain returns. Kenny.
