It’s useful to be able to describe various symptoms that can occur when you have a sports injury, as this helps you communicate with the chiropractor about the nature of your problem. Typical symptoms are as follows:
* Pain: which can be mild or quite severe
* Loss of range of movement: you may not be able to easily turn your head because of a neck injury, for example
* Bruising: the area is discolored and tender
* Inflammation: the site of the injury is inflamed as the body deals with the issue
* Reduced strength: you are unable to perform as well as you did before the injury because your muscle or muscles have been damaged
We have a variety of treatment modalities to bring our injured sports patients into wellness. Examples of our methods include:
* Chiropractic: A common aspect of sports medicine, chiropractic care is ideal for bringing relief naturally and safely without the need to rely on harmful prescription pain medications.
The chiropractor can provide manual adjustment of the spine to make sure the bones are balanced correctly and line up as they should. That’s crucial for cutting down body tension, which is needed for healing. You may also receive treatment to improve the function of your joints to bring down inflammation as well as cut down pain.
* Injury Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation involves carefully prescribed motions that a professional helps you work through, designed to increase strength and balance as well as help the injured site repair and recover.
* Laser Therapy: This is a method of treatment that is non-invasive (unlike surgery performed with a scalpel) and does not rely on pain medication. The laser light provides warmth, which boosts the flow of blood as well as assists with drainage from the lymphatic system. Patients typically experience a reduction in inflammation and reduction in pain as their injury heals under laser therapy.
