Are you Suffering with Pain from a Sports Injury?

Being active is part of a healthy lifestyle and maintaining good health. Exercise has so many benefits, including strengthening bones, reducing stress, and improving sleep, among many other benefits.

Extremity injuries are the most common types of sports injuries, to areas of the body like elbows, knees, ankles, and shoulders.

Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Care

There are definitely times where a major injury occurs, although tendons, ligaments, and muscles seem to get injured the most. These types of injuries include strains, sprains, and tendinosis. While rest, ice/heat, compression, and elevation are often times recommended for treatment, visiting your chiropractor regularly should also be part of your treatment plan. A chiropractor is trained in joint manipulation and is an expert in the bone structure and nervous system of the body and can help determine if your sports injury can be helped with adjustments.
