What is Chiropractic for Sports, and How Can it Help?
Chiropractic focuses on treating injuries to the musculoskeletal system, including injuries to the spine, joints, and muscles. Our chiropractor will customize your care plan to ensure you are receiving the best treatment possible.
Conditions that can Benefit from Chiropractic Care:
Sports-related musculoskeletal injuries that can benefit from chiropractic care include:
- Soft tissue injuries
- Overuse injuries
- Tendonitis
- Rotator cuff dysfunction and injuries
- Movement-related joint pain due to dislocations
- Injuries to tendons and ligaments (sprains and strains)
- Back and neck pain, headaches, and whiplash
The Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Sports Injuries:
In addition to natural, faster healing and pain relief, you can achieve the following benefits with the help of our expert chiropractor:
- The misalignment of your musculoskeletal system can trigger imbalance and dysfunction in your muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. With specialized chiropractic care, which focuses on increasing blood flow to injured tissues and the gradual correction of structural abnormalities, normal alignment can be restored to your musculoskeletal system. This not only helps with injury healing but also significantly decreases the risk of future injury.
- If your spine and peripheral joints are misaligned, your body begins to compensate for the changes by altering your movement. By working on these problems, we can help you restore muscular and structural balance, which improves your overall mobility and range of motion.
- Our chiropractor will help relieve pressure and tension in your body, which allows for improved coordination and movement control. By relieving the pressure on your spinal discs and nerves, your muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and nerves are able to communicate with each other better, improving your coordination and overall performance.
- A chiropractor cCan also help relieve tension for those individuals who feel their body is stiff and tight.
- It Ccan have a beneficial impact on your posture to help minimize the risk of long-term repetitive strain injuries.
