Who We Are

At Sports Acupuncturist, we believe in treating pain at the source and optimizing the body for peak performance. Our mission is to provide a specialized, results-driven approach that helps athletes and active individuals recover faster, prevent injuries, and move better, without relying on temporary fixes.

We don’t just treat pain—we identify why it’s happening and work to correct the root cause.

Founded by Dr. Lijana Shestopal, our clinic specializes in motor point acupuncture—a precision-based method that activates muscles, restores balance, and optimizes performance. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which focuses on meridian points, sports acupuncture targets the neuromuscular system directly, making it a game-changer for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone dealing with chronic pain or movement issues.

What We Do

Many injuries and chronic pain conditions stem from muscle imbalances, overuse, or compensations that limit mobility and lead to recurring issues. Sports acupuncture works by:

• Activating weak or inhibited muscles to improve strength and stability
• Releasing tight or overactive muscles to restore balance and mobility
• Increasing blood flow to speed up healing and reduce inflammation
• Preventing injuries by ensuring muscles function properly before stress is placed on them

Who We Help

We work with athletes of all levels, from professionals to weekend warriors, as well as individuals dealing with chronic pain, post-injury recovery, or movement limitations. Whether a client is looking to enhance performance, recover from an injury, or simply move pain-free, our approach is tailored to their body’s unique needs.
