 Tim Monaco brings extensive experience to Insight Chiropractic Health & Wellness Center. As an Acupuncture Physician, Licensed Massage Therapist, former elite endurance athlete, endurance coach and personal trainer, he offers a unique understanding of athletes’ needs along with a comprehensive set of tools to support healing, recovery and peak performance. 

Whether competing at an elite level, enjoying sports recreationally or recovering from an acute injury, sports acupuncture can provide meaningful benefits.

Using evidence-based techniques tailored to the demands of a particular sport, Sports Acupuncture results in enhanced performance, recovery and injury prevention. Each treatment targets muscular pain, trigger points, scar tissue and myofascial restrictions with the goal of restoring balance to the athlete’s body. 

Patients may be looking to enhance performance, recover faster from intense training and competitions, heal from an injury or deal with chronic tightness. Whatever the issue, Sports Acupuncture can help the body perform at its best. All treatments are customized based on the client’s sport, training load, injury history and current physical condition.

Sports Acupuncture is designed to complement an athlete’s existing training and recovery program, helping the body adapt to physical demands while reducing the risk of overuse injuries. By addressing underlying movement restrictions, muscle imbalances and areas of chronic tension, treatment can support improved biomechanics and overall function. Many athletes report feeling stronger, being able to move more freely and experiencing greater resilience following treatment, allowing them to train more consistently and recover more efficiently. In addition to supporting athletic performance, Sports Acupuncture can also benefit active individuals seeking relief from everyday aches, repetitive stress and mobility limitations, helping them stay active and perform with confidence. Whether competing at an elite level, enjoying sports recreationally or recovering from an acute injury, sports acupuncture can provide meaningful benefits.
