Common Sports Injuries
As you look for answers and treatment regarding your specific injury, it may help you to learn about the various common sports injuries and how our Grand Rapids chiropractor can help you get back on your training schedule. Following is a list of common injuries that we treat in our state-of-the-art facility:
- Knee Injuries. Whether from overuse or some type of twist, many athletes experience knee injuries.
- Neck Injuries. Another common injury we see and treat is a neck injury, such as whiplash, when occurs when your head suddenly snaps back and forth. This injury can easily lead to inflammation, damaged disks and a limit to your range of motion.
- Back Injuries. Back injuries, such as lower back strain or some type of disk misalignment, can put you on the sidelines for an extended time.
