What is Sports Chiropractic?
Sports chiropractic is a subspecialty in the field of chiropractic healing. Sports chiropractors specialize in the care of musculoskeletal injuries, including prevention. This branch of chiropractic expertise focuses on the prevention and treatment of athletic injuries.
Injury Prevention. Professional athletes require a warm-up regime before games and practices. Many times this warm-up only consists of stretching cold muscles and the routine doesn’t functionally apply to the sport. A dynamic routine that activates the stabilizing structures of the body and warms up the musculature before a stretching routine is available for athletes to prevent injury and optimize their performance.
Treatment For Sports Injuries. Ankle, knee, and hip problems are common in soccer players, ice skaters, tri-athletes, runners, and cyclists. Injuries such as shoulder problems occur in overhead athletes like pitchers. During treatment, restrictive soft tissues and joints are released and then the athlete is given exercises to rehabilitate the area that directly pertains to their sport.
Massage Therapy. Massage therapy is beneficial for the treatment of soft tissue conditions. Guided by a functional chiropractic examination, massage therapists work the proper soft tissues or muscles at the proper intensity. This type of therapeutic massage hastens your recovery. Chiropractic care and rehab exercises produce the best results for patients.
