What Is a Sports Injury?

There are many different ailments you can suffer from depending on the sport you play. Some common sports injuries are sprains and strains, joint injuries, runner’s knee, tennis elbow, muscle soreness, and more. These injuries may be caused direct impacts, or can develop over time with overuse.

Depending on their severity, these injuries can cause the afflicted individual to lose the ability to play sports or do other physical activities if it is not properly cared for.

Diagnosing a Sports Injury

If you are injured or suffering from chronic pain, don’t wait to seek treatment. Your condition could worsen or cause other health complications. It is also important to stop playing your sport so you don’t cause further pain.

When you first visit our sports chiropractor, we will perform a physical exam. This includes looking for the cause of your pain and any underlying conditions. After a diagnosis, our chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan for you and your condition.

Sports Injury Treatment

Chiropractic methods of treatment focus on the musculoskeletal system. Most sports injuries affect the musculoskeletal system, which is why chiropractic care is so effective in treating them.

We offer a wide variety of services to treat injuries, including sports medicine. Our methods work to rehabilitate athletes of all levels and ages. The chiropractic techniques used to help the rehabilitation of athletes focus on strength and range of movement. One of these methods includes Kinesiotaping.    

Kinesiotaping is the act of using elastic tape and applying it to athletes and other patients to help with injury prevention, swelling reduction, and other types of physical rehabilitation attributes. This method improves blood flow, supports muscles and joints, and more.

Our chiropractor also uses chiropractic adjustments, which realign the spine to alleviate tension and pressure. For soft tissue injuries, our chiropractor may use massage therapy. This reduces inflammation and muscle stiffness.

We will also give you corrective exercises to do at home. Stretching and strengthening exercises will improve your range of motion and speed up your rehabilitation process.
