Sports Injury Chiropractic Care

Sports injuries can occur to anyone participating in a physical activity, regardless of their skill level or sport of choice. These injuries can range from minor bruises and sprains to more serious conditions. We at True Wellness Chiropractic in Fort Wayne, IN, are here to help you recover.

Types of Sport Injuries

One of the most common types of sports injuries is a sprain or strain. Sprains occur when ligaments are damaged, while strains occur when muscles or tendons are damaged. Symptoms of sprains and strains can include pain, swelling, and limited mobility.

Concussions are also a common sports injury, particularly in contact sports such as football or hockey. Concussions occur when the brain is jolted or shaken inside the skull, causing a temporary loss of normal brain function. Symptoms can include headache, confusion, nausea, and dizziness. While we cannot treat concussions outright, we may be able to help with the after-effects on concussions once you have received medical care.

Neck pain and back pain can also occur if you have had an injury in the neck or back. This may be accompanied by stiffness or loss of motion.

Sports Injury Prevention

To prevent sports injuries, it may be important to take steps such as warming up and stretching before physical activity, wearing appropriate protective gear, staying hydrated, and following proper technique and form during sports and exercise.

If a sports injury does occur, it is important to seek prompt attention and sports rehab. Depending on the severity of the injury, treatment may include rest, ice, chiropractic care, and shockwave therapy.

Chiropractic Care and Sports Rehab

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other techniques to help align the body and help promote natural healing processes. By helping to improve spinal alignment and joint mobility, chiropractors can help athletes reduce pain, improve flexibility, and range of motion, and potentially even prevent future injuries. Chiropractic care can be effective in treating a variety of sports injuries and symptoms of injuries, including back pain, neck pain, and joint pain. Many professional sports teams now employ chiropractors as part of their staff, and utilize shockwave therapy, to help keep their athletes in top physical condition.
