Sports Injuries
Athletes need all parts of their body to be working at maximum efficiency to reach their highest level of coordination and to maintain stamina at peak performance levels.
At competitive levels athletes may not be able to take drugs for inflammation and pain relief. Chiropractors have developed methods to reduce pain and inflammation without the use of drugs.
Injuries can be caused by:
Poor co-ordination
Lack of balance
Contact in sports
Repetitive jolting or jarring
Excessive loading
Insufficient Preparation
Rapid recovery from injury is critical for athletes, hence chiropractic care for sports injuries has become increasingly popular over the years. Chiropractic care helps restore function to spinal joints improving muscle balance and coordination, it removes nerve irritation helping to speed the healing of soft tissue.
