Acupuncture is an effective, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of sports injuries, from sprains and strains to overuse injuries like tendinitis. By inserting fine needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes the body’s natural healing processes.

Acupuncture isn’t just for injuries—it can also play a critical role in recovery and improving athletic performance. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, acupuncture can:
Acupuncture is highly effective for pain relief. Whether you’re dealing with acute injury pain or chronic conditions brought on by repetitive stress, acupuncture provides a natural alternative to painkillers. Acupuncture stimulates the release of the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, like endorphins, which reduce discomfort without the side effects of medication.
By focusing on both the injury site and related areas that may be contributing to the pain, Dr. Duncan ensures comprehensive pain relief. This whole-body approach helps not just the symptoms but also addresses the root cause of the pain, leading to longer-lasting results.
Herbal medicine is an important complement to acupuncture in treating sports injuries and aiding recovery. Dr. Duncan customizes herbal formulas to support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve energy levels. Specific herbs can:
These formulas are often used in tandem with acupuncture sessions or applied externally to the affected area to speed up recovery.
With years of experience in treating athletes and active individuals, Dr. Brian Duncan uses his in-depth knowledge of Sports Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine to provide personalized care. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to improve your performance, Dr. Duncan creates individualized treatment plans based on your unique needs and goals.
If you’re dealing with a sports injury, looking to recover faster, or wanting to optimize your athletic performance, Kingsport Acupuncture can help. Our combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and specialized care in Sports Medicine ensures you get the treatment you need to feel and perform your best.

Brian is a true professional. I’ve been working with him for many years and will continue to for many to come. He’s been very helpful with specific temporary injuries and for overall health enhancement.
From PCOS/Fertility woes to happy, healthy baby! Dr. Brian helped regulate my hormones which ultimately led to a beautiful baby in my arms. From nausea to labor prep/pain management, Dr. Brian supported me throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum journey. My husband and daughter now see Dr. Brian. If you are looking for a balanced acupuncture practice in the Tri-Cities area, look no further.
I had pretty much tried everything to help with my digestive issues and nothing seemed to work. So I gave acupuncture a try. Brian is great and after some treatments along with some herbal medicine things are more normal than they have been in years. I highly recommend giving acupuncture a try for whatever problems you might be having. Brian is very well educated in his practice and answers any questions you may have.
I was having shoulder bad shoulder pain and was referred by a friend. Brian is the nicest guy and found the root of my problems he gave me excersises to do and my problem which a month of chiropractor visits couldn't fix was cured in a week!
The acupuncture and the stretches Brian had me do eliminate all the pain from my lower back from a car accident I had, highly recommended
Dr Duncan helped my daughter greatly improve, if not completely cure, her severe, chronic eczema. We have gone to pediatricians and allergists which hasn't helped. Seeing dr Duncan has changed her life.
Really helped with my knee pain. I've been getting acupuncture for years and was new to the area. Decided to give this place a try and so glad I did. They definitely know what they're doing. Highly recommend.
Dr. Brian was Incredibly patient and thorough. incredibly patient and thorough. It is wonderfully refreshing to sit with a Doctor whom sees their patient as a whole and treats the root causes rather than the symptoms. He is extremely knowledgeable and has thousands of hours of skill, training and practice. I have Referred tons of friends and family.
Dr. Brian is passionate about addressing the root of an issue instead of treating the symptoms only. I started seeing Dr. Brian for a concern when I was unable to get an appointment with my “regular” doctor. It was easy to get an appointment and he listened to what was going on and was able to greatly improve my areas of concern. I would highly recommend Dr. Brian to anyone looking for an alternative.
Dr. Brian Duncan is a seasoned professional. He is knowledgeable and insightful into finding the root cause to your pain. I had intense neck and shoulder pain that lasted for months. After a few sessions with Dr. Duncan I was finally able to breathe again, and take less pain medication. Two months later I was pain free. I highly recommend Kingsport Acupuncture for pain relief and maintenance for a healthy body.
