About this episode
Sarah welcomes AMR columnist Adrienne Martini as guest co-host for a conversation about sports acupuncture; Erik Isaacman, the Portland-based acupuncturist who treated Sarah for her multi-fractured ankle earlier this year, joins the conversation in studio. Erik explains the origin of the hippie vibe surrounding the Eastern medicine, then dispels the patchouli-and-chimes misconceptions about acupuncture. Not just needles: Find out what all can be involved in an acupuncture session, and why Adrienne blurts out, “I love cupping!” Learn what running ailments and injuries sports acupuncture can treat best, how long a course of treatment might be, and how to find a practitioner in your area.
