SPORTS INJURIES
Spinal and joint injuries can restrict
range of motion, reduce strength, slow reflexes, shorten endurance,
and decrease performance. Chiropractic care for these types
of injuries has become increasingly popular. Professional
sports teams, Olympic trainers, and competitive athletes are
employing chiropractic doctors - because they get results.
Chiropractic care helps restore
function to spinal joints that are "locked up",
fixated, and not moving properly. Besides helping to relieve
pain, chiropractic care can also help reduce inflammation.
Muscles, tendons, and ligaments depend upon proper joint movements
for peak performance. Injuries to these tissues can reduce
range of motion, affect delicate nerves, decrease blood supply,
and can take you out of the game. Normalizing spinal function
helps speed the healing of these soft tissues and reduce the
deconditioning effect of being on the sidelines.
