Either during sporting activities or exercising, injuries can occur. Injuries happen due to collisions (with objects or people), or unexpected dynamic forces on parts of the body including limbs & joints.

Help for sports injuries

Sports injuries

Numbness or tingling in an area of the body can indicate injury. The two main bodily systems affected by sports injuries are nervous or vascular systems. If an athlete experiences numbness of tingling, the steps to treat him or her are the following:

  1. obtain a detailed history of the athlete’s acquired symptom perception,
  2. determine the effect the injury had on the body and its processes,
  3. establish the prime treatment method.

Traumatic sporting injuries include:

  • Bruising,
  • Straining or causing trauma to a muscle ; can caused by over-stretching
  • Spraining of a joint,
  • broken bones
  • Head injuries including concussions,
  • Spinal cord injuries,
  • Catastrophic trauma to the head, spine, or brain.

A key to reducing sporting injuries is prevention. Warming up, stretching and main muscle group exercises can significantly reduce injuries acquired through sports. Working with a team or coach on prevention techniques can help prevent an injury before it happens.

Chiropractors are well suited to treat sports injuries. Chiropractic medicine is focused on treating the body through the spine.

The musculoskeletal systems binds tissues & organs together. This organ system allows human beings to move & support themselves by using the muscles and skeletal structures of their bodies

Musculoskeletal Conditions

Musculoskeletal Conditions

The musculoskeletal system is made up of the skeleton bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other tissues that hold the body together. Critical to binding tissues & organs, the musculoskeletal system’s most important function is to support the body, allow it to move, and protect critical organs. Examining each part of this system can be helpful in understanding what parts of the body can be injured.

Bones stabilize the body and are kept in place by muscles. Muscles also move bones. Joints allow bones to move. Cartilage keeps everything moving smoothly without friction. Tendons and ligaments are tissues that connect these various elements.

Common diseases and disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system can be difficult to diagnose. Physical therapy & rehabilitation can be helpful in treating many conditions that are involved in musculoskeletal symptoms.

Ranging from mild to severe, a food allergy can have a debilitating effect on health. Approximately 4-8% of people have at least one food allergy. Food allergies are especially common in children.

Food Allergies

Food allergies

The definition of a food allergy is simple: an immune system response to a particular food. Itchiness, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, and breathing trouble are just a few of the signs of food allergies. These symptoms can occur within minutes or hours of ingestion. Food allergies are increasing in number, especially among children but also among adults.

Risk factors for food allergies include a family history of allergy, obesity, vitamin D deficiency, or even an obsessive level of cleanliness. Diagnosis of a food allergy can be performed by a medical history examination, eliminating certain foods from the diet for a particular time, blood tests or a variety of other methods. The Colorado Springs Spine & Injury Clinic performs food allergy testing.

Helpful treatments to manage food allergy are to: avoid the trigger food and have a plan of action if a particular food causes a reaction. Sometimes, an allergy to food can be outgrown: milk, egg, and soy allergens in children often go away with time. Nut allergies and shellfish allergies do not usually go away.

Chiropractors are qualified to treat all types of injury and health conditions. Chiropractic professionals also know how to identify and treat different types of injury.

Food Common injuries

Common injuries

Each injury the human body experiences is unique. The injuries associated with auto accidents are different than those brought on by sports. For instance, a delayed symptom outbreak is often involved when a person is in a car accident. Weeks or months after a traffic collision, injuries like whiplash, spinal injuries or soreness can be experienced.

As part of a work injury, a chiropractor will often identify associated work stresses like non-ergonomic equipment and proper work techniques.. The actual work injury is important to treat, but fixing the underlying causes that led to the accident, injury or symptom is also vital.

Chiropractors treat the whole person, not just one symptom. Optimizing the health of each patient involves far more than just prescribing pills or surgery. Each injury or condition requires careful thought and treatment.

Help for Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions

Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions

Chiropractors commonly treat many medical ailments.

Aggravated or irritated spinal nerve roots can be the underlying cause of symptoms that are a detriment to good health. Many medical conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dizziness or other health conditions can be helped by regular chiropractic treatments.

The spine, or the structure of the body controls the nerve function of the body. When parts of the spine are irritated or aggravated, it can lead to ill health. Chiropractic is all about restoring proper nerve function and normal spinal structure. Partial or full relief of poor health symptoms can be achieved with chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care is not a specific form of treatment for the above health conditions. When necessary, we always refer our patients to the appropriate specialist.
