‘I am an active athlete. I usually work out about an hour a day, six times a week. This therapy allows me to recover from muscle injuries within 1 or 2 days, compared to up to a week or more with other more traditional recovery methods like massage or chiropractics. I also started to use this “sports acupuncture” as a preventative method, so that the scar tissue in my muscles doesn’t build up to the point where there is an injury that is going to be imminent.’
A.T. - Calgary, Alberta
Using techniques first developed by Matt Callison of Acusport Health fame, Dr. Risk successfully treats common sports injuries and helps patients recover from various muscle pain. This is a unique method of combining ancient acupuncture techniques and modern knowledge of physiotherapy.
Special Motor points are used in this practice. They are located where the moter nerve enters the muscle and allow for quick release and relaxation of the muscle tissue. Using these points, Dr. Risk can achieve fast results and recovery, providing pain relief for majority of muscle related injuries.

Some of the most common injuries include:
Common Injuries to the Neck and Shoulder Pain
By definition, in sports medicine, shoulder pain involves any pain in or around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. The rotator cuff in the shoulder is made up of four tendons. These tendons give the shoulder a wide range of motion. Any swelling, inflammation, tearing, or bony changes around these tendons causes pain when a person tries to move the arm above the head, behind the back, or straight out in front.
Common Injuries to the Low Back and Hip We Treat in Our Calgary Sports Injury Clinic
Low back pain (or lumbago) is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting 80% of people at some point in their lives. It accounts for more sick leave and disability than any other medical condition. It can be either acute, subacute or chronic in duration. Most often, the symptoms of low back pain show significant improvement within a few weeks from onset with conservative measures – but using sports medicine as treatment will help you recover faster and ensure that the pain will not be back.
