Follow on Google News | Macomb/Shelby/Clinton Township Chiropractor: Sports Injuries & ChiropracticProblems can start with the spine and affect the extremities or they can begin with an extremity, such as a knee or an ankle and then create further problems in the spine. Either way, many sports related injuries involve the spine.
Most people ask why do we get injured? The simple answer is that we play too hard, too long, or too fast. For example an over-use injury can occur by playing full speed before the body is fully warmed up. This is why it is very important to stretch and warm up the body before participating in any sports or fitness activities. If an injury does occur it is important to receive chiropractic care to ensure the injury heals properly and to help prevent future injuries from occurring. Many people do not understand how important it is to receive chiropractic care for a sport injury. Most people who experience an over-use injury may not believe the injury is that serious and think by resting the injury they will be healed in a couple of days. Rest is good, but alone it can take a long time for an injury to heal completely and if a person begins participating in a sport or activity too soon after an injury it will only make the injury worse or more severe. Why do you need a chiropractor for a sport injury? Chiropractic offers a balanced approach to the treatment and healing of sports injuries. Chiropractic care helps restore function to spinal joints that are fixated and not moving properly. Also, chiropractic care helps relieve pain and reduce inflammation that often occurs after an injury.
