Most Common Sports Injuries

Many sports injuries are unique to the sport the athlete is playing. Understanding how those injuries occur is the key to preventing and recovering them. A chiropractor with a background in sports medicine can evaluate a sports injury and determine the best treatment methods to guarantee fast, efficient healing. This evaluation is needed if the athlete wants to return to the field.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

Repetitive motion injuries are common in baseball, tennis, and golf. In addition, pitchers can experience conditions like tendonitis from throwing over a hundred or more pitches during every game. When you approach our chiropractor with this type of injury, rest and physical therapy are two critical components in their treatment plan.

Sprains, Strains, and Dislocations

Contact sports, like hockey and football, often cause sprains, strains, and dislocations. Many of these injuries will take several weeks to heal because they deal with the connective tissues of the joints. Our chiropractor will stabilize the joint and create a treatment plan to strengthen and heal the injured area.

Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Care

Many sports injuries will respond well to chiropractic care. First, our chiropractor can begin recovery by restoring natural balance and alignment to the injured area. Then, with regular adjustments and physical therapy, an athlete can return to competitive play much sooner than later.
