Common Winter Sports Injuries from Health First Chiropractic Marysville
With the temperature starting to drop outside, people are getting ready to transition from their fall sports season into their winter sports. Some people play winter sports such as basketball and swimming. Other people compete in winter sports that take place on the side of a mountain or steep slope. Regardless of the kind of winter sport that people play, injuries can happen. There are a number of common winter sports injuries that we see in our office. The friendly team from Health First Chiropractic Marysville is here to discuss some of the most common winter sports injuries we see in Marysville, WA.
Common Winter Sports Injuries
Concussions: Without a doubt, head injuries are among the most common injuries that we see. Falls during basketball, skiing, and snowboarding can lead to serious injuries. We know how to evaluate head injuries and set someone up to make a successful recovery.
Herniated Disc: Those who participate in extreme winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding, are also prone to suffering a herniated disc during a fall. At Health First Chiropractic Marysville, we can take a look at someone's back, identify the herniated disc, and provide the appropriate treatment.
Knee Ligament Injuries: Meniscus tear, or “Plant-and-Pivot” injuries, such as those in basketball and snowboarding, can lead to serious knee ligament injuries. We can perform a thorough exam on someone's knee, identify ligament problems. We can then decide on an individualized treatment plan for resolving the injury. The treatment plan can change depending on the kind of injury and the lifestyle of the patient.
