Sports Injury Treatment & Chiropractic Care

Sports injuries can cause significant discomfort and have the devastating potential to cause chronic pain that remains long after the injury is thought to have healed. While many believe that chiropractic care focuses on injuries or issues related to the spine, there many other areas of the musculoskeletal system that can be successfully treated with various techniques employed by a chiropractic team to speed up your healing time from a sports injury.

How Can Chiropractic Promote Healing of Sports Injuries?

Sports injuries tend to weaken a specific area after an injury, which can lead to longer healing times and result in re-injury. Common sports injuries that should be treated by a chiropractic team include the following:

• Back, neck and/or shoulder pain
• Strained or sprained ankle or wrist
• Tennis elbow
• Golf elbow
• Runner’s knee
• Torn ligaments
• Fractures
• Pulled muscles throughout the body

By improving flexibility in the joints and muscles around areas of injury, you will be much less likely to re-injure the same area. Additionally, ensuring that your spine is properly aligned and your posture is corrected will greatly decrease your chances of suffering from chronic back and neck pain, recurrence of pinched nerves and re-injury that results in more wide-spread damage. To ensure promote a healthy musculoskeletal system and prepare your body for sports participation, chiropractic employs periodic spinal adjustments, deep tissue massage sessions, and a full nutritional assessment and dietary recommendations. These pathways to a healthy body combine into an effective treatment plan that will manage and treat current sports injuries, while also preventing future problems.
