Chiropractic Tip of the Month: Sports-related Injuries
Chiropractors are some of the most actively involved health-care professionals in sports-related conditioning, injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The most typical injury involves back, neck or shoulder injuries caused by over the head movements found in sports like tennis, softball, pitching, hockey, and even golf leading to pain and lack of mobility. Chiropractic manipulations are vital in restoring the biomechanics of shoulders, neck, upper back and hips. Many professional sports teams employ chiropractors to treat and prevent sports injuries.
Chiropractic care of a sports injury, regardless of whether you are a professional athlete or amateur, can take a week to 8 weeks depending on the particular injury. Shoulder and knee injuries typically take the longest as those joints are the least stable. Once the injury has healed it is a good idea to continue with regular chiropractic adjustments to keep the body balanced properly and functioning at its peak.
