Moxibustion is a traditional thermal therapy commonly used to support recovery from sports-related injuries. In clinical practice, it may help improve local circulation, ease muscle tension, and reduce discomfort such as pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
When appropriately evaluated and applied, moxibustion can serve as a supportive component of a comprehensive sports injury recovery plan. Treatment response and outcomes may vary depending on the type and stage of injury, as well as individual conditions.
