The final strain the patient complains about was just an accident waiting to happen. Therefore treatment should be aimed at creating new collagen at the injury site. The most non-invasive methods to stimulating collagen growth is through nutrition, eccentric exercise, and deep massage techniques." Awesome. I think the potential for acupuncture to accelerate collagen growth, and aid with improved diet & sleep, is worth investigating. Diet and sleep on the part of this patient is key, though. Thanks for the reminder. “…The actual problem is a weakened tendon from frequent mild strain where the tendon doesn’t have the time or nutrition to heal itself.
