At Noriega Chiropractic Clinics, we treat all types of sports-related injuries and pain.
If you have sustained any of these common sports injuries or conditions, chiropractic care can be a viable solution to help provide faster healing, decreased inflammation, and pain relief.
Chiropractic care techniques can reduce pain and discomfort brought on by a sports injury through the use of specialized manual adjustments and techniques. By making adjustments to the spine, neck, or joints, a chiropractor can reduce inflammation, improve overall function, and alleviate pain.
While chiropractic care is an effective solution for relieving pain caused by a sports injury, it can also help prevent a condition from worsening, or prevent a future injury from occurring. Through movements that help adjust and realign the spine, the body is strengthened, and mobility and flexibility are improved. When your spine is properly aligned, your body is less prone to injury and can heal much more quickly.
When you come to a doctor complaining of pain due to a sports injury, a lot of the time they will recommend painkillers or surgery.
While medications will relieve the symptoms of pain temporarily, they do nothing to address the real cause of the problem, which could be anything from a muscle tear to misaligned vertebrae. If the problem is left untreated and unaddressed, it only persists and worsens over time.
Surgery is another option, but it’s an incredibly invasive procedure that comes with a slew of side effects and risks, including blood clots and nerve damage. Also, surgery requires lengthy recovery time post-treatment, leaving you bedridden and missing out on the sports and activities that you love.
Chiropractic care provides alternative and effective relief from pain by getting to the root of your injury or condition and fixing it at its source. When you come in to see a chiropractor, they will perform a comprehensive analysis before their diagnosis and consecutive treatment. The treatment plan will be designed specifically for your unique needs, and can include anything from exercises and stretches you can do at home, to hands-on manipulations, gentle adjustments, and instrument-assisted therapy.
