Common Summer Sports Injuries and How to Heal Them Fast

Get the chiropractic care you need to heal your summer sports injury and get back into the game. Receiving chiropractic care along with massage therapy and rehabilitation can dramatically reduce your pain and facilitate the complete healing of your injury.

Common Summer Sports Injuries

Once the weather breaks, it is time to get outside and active, but exercising and playing sports can lead to various injuries, including injuries to the neck and back, elbows, shoulders, wrists, knees, ankles and shins. Most sports injuries occur due to repetitive motion, sudden injuries and muscle and ligament sprains, strains and tears.

If you feel pain or hear a pop or crack, you should immediately stop the activity. Ice, heat and rest can bring down any associated swelling, but if the pain continued and movement is restricted, you should schedule an appointment with our chiropractors, Dr. Chinn and Dr. Keogh, for sports injury treatment.

Chiropractic Treatment Options With our Sports Chiropractors

Our sports chiropractors have worked with many amateur and professional sports players as well as weekend warriors, and we can treat new and chronic sports injuries, including injuries that occurred years ago.

Treatment starts with a physical evaluation and complete medical history, including how long you have had the pain and what you were doing at the time the pain first occurred. Additional questions may include the activities that cause more and less pain.

In many instances realigning the joints and vertebrae can provide nearly immediate pain relief and subsequent adjustments can keep the joints and spine in their proper positions. Massage therapy can help relax the muscles and relieve physical and mental stress while improving circulation and ridding the body of lactic acid. Chiropractic rehabilitation may also be utilized to further improve range of motion, strengthen weak muscles and reduce pain.
