What Is a Sports Injury?
You may have been diagnosed with a sports injury if you or a loved one has sustained physical bodily harm while playing sports.
Common sports injuries include breaks, fractures, and minor sprains that can reduce mobility and cause radiating pain throughout the body.
How Do Chiropractors Treat Sports Injuries?
When you visit your Fairfield, CT chiropractor for your sports injury consultation, they will talk to you about how your injury happened and complete an exam to develop a treatment plan.
Your chiropractor will assess and recommend a customized treatment plan to promote pain management and healing and reduce the adverse effects and chronic pain that untreated sports injuries can cause.
A licensed chiropractor at Southport Chiropractic will use the latest technologies, treatments, and tools to help you recover from an injury.
Tools and techniques can include some or all of the following:
Chiropractic Adjustments
When you get chiropractic adjustments for a sports-related injury, your provider will work on restoring your joint mobility and accelerating healing by using manual adjustments and alignment techniques that help relieve inflammation, pressure, and pain that may be affecting injured areas around bones, joints, and ligaments.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Experienced chiropractors often use soft tissue therapy to address issues with muscles, tendons, and surrounding connective tissues that can be injured while playing contact sports.
They may use time-tested techniques like myofascial release or trigger point therapy to reduce the effects of tightness, muscle tension, and chronic pain that can be present in injured areas.
Acupuncture
Natural treatment therapies like acupuncture have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. We have also used it in Western medical practices for thousands of years.
Your Southport chiropractor may recommend acupuncture to promote pain management and reduce inflammation in joints, tissues, ligaments, and knee pain.
Massage Therapy
Our chiropractors may incorporate other natural healing modalities like massage therapy to increase the flexibility and range of motion around injured areas.
Massage therapy sessions can also help break down scar tissues around sports injuries and promote increased circulation to the injury site.
