How Chiropractic Care Can Help With Athletic Injuries 

Many people commonly associate chiropractors with back pain treatment, but there are many different reasons why people seek chiropractic care. 

Participating in sports on either a professional or amateur level will come with a high risk of injury. Many types of sports require pushing the body above and beyond its usual day-to-day movement. Whether it’s wear or tear caused by overtraining or a single event, the damage often affects the musculoskeletal system, connective tissues that allow us to stand and move, and the muscles. 

The effects of injuries can vary widely, from a serious problem such as a break or a tear that can take weeks or months of recovery time, to a sprain that heals quickly. 

Recovering and healing from a sports injury can require rest and taking time off from training and participating in sports events. Chiropractic care is just one way an athlete can accelerate the recovery process after an injury. 

Spinal adjustments provided by a licensed chiropractor can help the body systems work more efficiently. This is accomplished by eliminating pressure on the spinal cord. When the spine is aligned it allows nutrients and oxygen to reach the injury site, healing it at a faster rate. Spinal adjustments can also help reduce inflammation which can eliminate pain and stiffness. 

Initial Evaluation 

If you sustained a sports injury and scheduled an appointment with us, at your initial appointment, you’ll be asked questions regarding your injury, medical history, and pain level. Next, your chiropractor will examine you, searching for the source of the pain. They will also evaluate your posture and mobility, and ask questions about your training regimen, sport, and more, to reach a diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan. 

Adjustment

Spinal adjustments and other therapies used can help to realign the joints, restore function, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Not all injuries will require an adjustment. However, if at your appointment your chiropractor recommends one, you’ll find that the process is fast, simple, and pain-free. Your chiropractor may use several other treatment methods to relieve your pain, such as spinal mobilization, massage, or stretches. 

Post-Treatment Care 

After you’ve recovered from your injury, you will notice reduced pressure on the injured area and increased flexibility. You may also notice increased range of motion and faster muscle response. These are all amazing benefits that occur when the spine is properly aligned and able to work in conjunction with the nervous system. During this time, your chiropractor may recommend abstaining from training or sports participation, until you have fully recovered from your injury.
