Read on to learn more about the sports injuries we treat at our clinic.
Muscle Strain
We frequently treat athletes with muscle strains at our clinics. Muscle strains are small tears in the muscle fibers. These injuries can be excruciating. Also, they can lead to larger muscular tears if the strains don't heal properly. Thankfully, we can effectively treat muscle strains at our clinics.
Ligament Sprains
Many young athletes suffer sprains to their ligaments when playing sports. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprains are especially common. Ligament sprains, like muscle strains, are painful. These injuries can also become worse if they aren't adequately treated.
Shin Splints
Shin splints are not considered severe injuries, but they can be painful. Shin splints result from swelling in the muscles and tendons of the shin. Treatment at our clinic can help athletes avoid shin splints in the future.
Treatments Offered
We can treat the conditions listed above and many others. The methods we use to ease pain and maintain quality of life are as follows:
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is one of the treatments we offer for sports injuries. It works well on soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Massage therapy relieves pain quickly and increases blood flow. The increased blood flow speeds healing.
Physical Therapy
We offer physical therapy to help athletes recover from injuries. A well-designed physical therapy regime can help athletes return to their sport quickly.
Lifestyle Modification
Living a healthy lifestyle can help athletes avoid injuries. These exercises include stretching, staying hydrated, and eating right. In addition, our chiropractors can provide professional advice to help athletes live healthier lives.
