Common Sports Injuries Treated by Our Chiropractor
Chiropractic care can help treat a wide variety of injuries. In fact, many injuries that don't involve lacerations or broken bones can be treated by your chiropractor.
Our chiropractor can treat both acute and chronic injuries. Acute injuries happen suddenly, while chronic injuries are the result of repetitive motion over time.
Strains, sprains, torn ligaments, and dislocations are common acute injuries. Chronic injuries include tendonitis, runner's knee, and tennis elbow.
Pain is often the most obvious sign of an injury that could benefit from chiropractic treatment. Other signs include swelling, stiffness, or soreness.
Sports Injury Treatments
Sports injury treatments may include chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy, and laser therapy.
Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment is a common treatment from chiropractors for sports injuries. In addition to aligning the spine, adjustments can be made to any joint within the body. Aligning the joints can help relieve pain and inflammation, and help improve the function of the joint.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises may be recommended along with chiropractic care. Our chiropractor will teach you exercises that are designed to help treat your specific condition or injury. You may be asked to perform the exercises at home to get the best results.
Corrective exercises can help strengthen an injured area, help improve flexibility, and help prevent future injuries.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can be a great choice for sprains, strains, and overused muscles. It can help loosen tight muscles, which can help reduce pain and improve your range of motion. It may also be helpful for relieving stress and tension.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is suitable for joint and muscle pain, from both chronic and acute injuries. The treatment uses a laser to penetrate deep into tissues. It can help trigger the body's natural healing ability, and improves circulation, which can speed healing and reduce pain.
