Sports Injuries
SPORTS INJURIES
Common sports injuries include strains, sprains and tears of soft tissue such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. The spinal column and surrounding structures can also become misaligned from hard hits on the field. This can lead to accelerated disc degeneration and chronic back or neck problems.
Athletes can also experience repetitive strain injuries. Common areas for athletic wear and tear are the shoulders, elbows and knees. Nerve impingement or entrapment can also occur as a result of the inflammation and/or continued and constant movement of the joint.
Chiropractic care for sports injuries includes gentle alignment of the spine, massage therapy, spinal decompression and advice on exercises to restore function and mobility to get you back on the court or field.
