Participating in sports at any age is fun and a smart way to stay fit and feel young and healthy. Unfortunately, even the best athletes – and weekend warriors, know that at some point, they will be sidelined with a sports-related injury. If you have been injured playing your favorite sport and live or work in the Boynton Beach or Orange Park, FL areas, contact Dr. Mark Klempner to schedule an appointment to help with your sports injury rehab.
Common Sports Injuries
Sports injuries typically happen when someone pushes their body past its limit or simply by accident. And when an injury does occur, it is essential to seek medical help for your injuries right away, so a) the injuries do not become worse, or b) injuries that do not manifest right away can be identified/treated by a chiropractic professional.
A partial list of common sports injuries includes the following:
- Sore or pulled muscles
- Concussions
- Sprained ligaments
- Dislocated shoulder or knee
- Various joint injuries
How Can a Chiropractor Help With a Sports Injury?
Chiropractors are equipped with various tools, techniques, and treatment modalities that can help treat and alleviate the pain and loss of motion related to a sports injury. Dr. Klempner and his team of professionals can provide treatments including:
- Spinal adjustments can help shift the spine to proper alignment, which can help with the necessary healing needed to rehab a sports injury. In fact, regular spinal adjustments for athletes or those that exercise a lot can help you stay in the best shape possible.
- Hot and Cold therapy is often used in combination as an effective sports injury rehab treatment by chiropractors and other alternative medical practitioners. Together, this help relieves pain and reduce inflammation, especially in the soft tissues.
-Massage therapy is also beneficial when rehabbing a sports injury. The application of strategically applied pressure can help loosen/lengthen an injured muscle – reducing both pain and the time required to recover.
