In addition to his role as a sports medicine physician, Dr. Graveley is also a licensed physician acupuncturist.   Acupuncture is a healing art that originated in China over 2,000 years ago.  It involves placing very fine needles at specific points on the body to achieve a desired therapeutic effect.     This modality found its way to the U.S. by the 1970s, and the medical community in the U.S. has been intrigued by acupuncture ever since.  Acupuncture has proven effective by many clinical trials, and is now recognized as a valid treatment for many pain problems.  Dr. Graveley's approach to  acupuncture combines  the traditional Chinese principles with modern western understanding.  He routinely uses acupuncture to treat patients with back pain, arthritis, headaches, chronic tendon conditions such as tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, as well as many other chronic pain problems.
