Don’t let a sports injury keep you from playing the game you love. Many sports injuries respond very well to chiropractic care, which is effective at managing recent injuries as well as those that occurred in the past but leave you with lingering pain. Find out how a chiropractor can heal sports injuries and what to expect when you begin treatment.
Common advice after a sports injury is to rest and ice. Most athletes hope the injury will go away with time, so they can get back to the game they love. Conventional therapy is effective at reducing inflammation that accompanies injuries, but this conservative treatment does not address what caused the injury. Until you address the cause, you may feel stiff or experience pain when you move. Scar tissue that develops can limit your range of motion. Intense workouts can aggravate the issue.
A sports chiropractor addresses your injury from a musculoskeletal perspective. They identify the root cause and treat it using non-invasive therapies. They also work to reduce inflammation and pain so you begin to feel better right away. If you want to heal the injury for good without relying on pain medication or invasive procedures, chiropody might be the right therapy for you. In many cases, chiropractic care can actually prevent future injuries by restoring the natural alignment of your spine.
When you begin working with a sports chiropractor, there will be a physical examination and history of the injury. The chiropractor will develop a treatment plan which usually takes place over several weeks. Depending on your injury, you may notice an immediate decrease in pain symptoms as soon as the first appointment is complete.
Treatment consists of adjustments to the spinal vertebrae that return the spine to its natural alignment and reverse damage caused in the incident. Many chiropractors offer complementary therapies designed to reduce pain symptoms, such as sports massage, laser therapy, or cryotherapy. As inflammation decreases, chiropractors will add stretching and strengthening exercises to your routine. This helps you make a full recovery and prepare to resume your favorite activity.
By the final treatment, pain and inflammation should be gone and you will be cleared to play.
A sports chiropractor works with athletes who run, golf, play tennis, play football, ride bicycles, and compete in other sports. Sports injuries that a chiropractor treats include:
Chiropractors can work with recent injuries or old ones with lingering symptoms. The sooner you begin treatment, the sooner you will start to feel better. It all starts with an initial consult, so find a chiropractor near you to start healing and play your best.

For patients who suffer from neck pain, back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, or whiplash, chiropractic care offers natural and effective treatment. Since chiropractic care requires no medication, it’s a complementary method that can be used alongside conventional medical treatment. If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, explore the wellness benefits of chiropractic adjustments.
Patients often seek chiropractic care when injuries or chronic pain have reduced their mobility. Patients may have limited to no movement or experience pain on a daily basis. Through a series of adjustments, chiropractors can gradually restore the full range of motion to affected joints and muscles. Many patients feel their condition improves after their first visit to the chiropractor. Mobility will continue to improve over the course of treatment. Some patients may say they are able to move better after treatment than they could before the injury.
Often, patients who suffer pain are encouraged to take a pill. Medication only masks the symptoms of their pain; it does not treat the underlying condition. Since chiropractic care treats the root condition that is causing the pain, it is a more effective way to relieve chronic pain and restore wellness for good.
Neck and back pain are skyrocketing due to poor ergonomics. Frequent usage of smartphones leads to a condition known as text neck, where the neck muscles are permanently pushed forward, causing strain and pain. Combined with lifestyle adjustments that promote proper ergonomics, chiropractic adjustments relieve neck and back pain for good. Patients are able to enjoy a better quality of life when they aren’t suffering from chronic pain. Some people may be able to resume favorite activities they ceased participating in due to pain.
Inflammation is an underlying cause of muscle tension and chronic pain. High levels of inflammation are caused by environmental factors, diet, stress, and injury. Chiropractic adjustments relieve chronic inflammation. Not only does this lower the amount of pain experienced by patients, it promotes better health.
Traditional treatment of back pain often suggests invasive procedures, such as surgery. Yet surgery is often not effective at relieving back pain permanently. Compared to traditional treatment methods, chiropractic care is a conservative and gentle way to treat a patient’s condition. It should be considered before invasive procedures, rather than as a “last ditch” effort to resolve musculoskeletal injuries.
A chiropractor can offer suggestions to help you not only recover from the injury, but find a better quality of life after you’ve made a full recovery. If you’ve been wanting to make a lifestyle change for better health, the right chiropractor can support you on your journey to better wellness by making suggestions to support strength, flexibility, and mobility.
Patients often come to chiropractic care after they feel like they’ve tried everything else and haven’t been able to heal their pain. Once you understand how chiropractic care heals injury and promotes wellness, you can seek care when you become injured rather than trying less successful methods first.
