Playing any sort of sport, be it at an elite level or as an amateur, puts you at risk of suffering a sports injury. Whenever you play sports you are pushing your body to its limits while often also moving at a fast speed with the potential for coming into physical contact with other people. Each different sport has its own common injuries The vast majority of sports injuries can be treated successfully through chiropractic care.
Chiropractors are trained in understanding the human body and how it works on a mechanical level, as well as the interplay between the different systems within the body (e.g. the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system). In terms of treatment, chiropractic care takes a holistic response to help patients. The focus isn't just on the injury itself but also on how the injury both affects and is affected by the way the rest of the body moves.
Chiropractors are becoming a more and more common sight among the medical teams associated with elite sports. This is because their techniques are recognized as being effective at helping to improve athletes' performance, in particular through the treatment of sports injuries. Chiropractic care can help to speed up recovery from injuries and prevent them from reoccurring. The same is true for anyone who plays sports or takes part in exercise. Chiropractic care can help anyone to recover from sports injuries more quickly and more completely.
A chiropractor will first gain a thorough understanding of their patient, including their medical history and the nature of their injury. Importantly, they will also look to understand whether the way the rest of the body's functions could be having an impact on how the injury occurred in the first place and whether they could be affecting recovery from the injury.
The sports injury itself can be treated under chiropractic care using a variety of methods, which can include:
Chiropractors don't just apply these techniques directly to the injured area. They will also treat any other areas of the body that could be putting strain on the injury site, which could be making the injury worse or more likely to happen again. For example, if the spine is out of alignment, that could be putting more strain on one side of the body than the other so a chiropractic adjustment can help to correct this.
They can also help by developing a return-to-sport plan that will help you to get back to your sport or exercise in a safe way that won't exacerbate the injury any further, and this can help you to get back to normal more quickly. As well as this, a chiropractor can give you lifestyle advice, including nutrition, that can improve your overall wellness and help your body to heal.
Chiropractors are well-placed to treat sports injuries. They can help to relieve the pain and disability associated with the injury, give advice and provide techniques to prevent it from happening again, and help to make changes to your lifestyle so that you can heal more quickly and your body can be supported when you are playing sports.
