Treatment for Sports Injuries

Sports are a great way to stay fit and healthy. Most experts recommend getting regular exercise and sports is an engaging and fun way to stay active. Regardless of the type of sport you play, a sports injury can happen at any time. Some types of sports injuries are evident as soon as you become injured while others might show symptoms gradually. Chiropractic care is very useful in the treatment of sports injuries. Our chiropractor will work with you to design an individualized treatment plan. If you are looking for treatment, we might recommend some diagnostic tests such as x-rays, CT scans, or blood tests.

Manual adjustments performed on the spine or joints are a common chiropractic technique included in many treatment plans. Many sports injuries result in issues in the joints. Chiropractic adjustment techniques can help alleviate joint pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint mobility.

Keep in mind that chiropractic techniques are also suitable for preventive care. If you play certain sports that have a common type of injury, we highly recommend using preventive care. For example, if you play baseball, injuries with the elbow and shoulder are quite common.
