Sports Injury FAQs

For some people, sports are a fun way to exercise and remain healthy. For others, especially professionals, sports are a source of livelihood. Regardless of what level of interaction you have with sports activities, sports injuries can occur and hamper your ability to participate in the games you love. Fortunately, if you are in Solon or the surroundings areas, our team at Reed Chiropractic Clinic can help you recover naturally from your sports injuries.

How do sports injuries occur? 

Failure to warm up properly can result in sports injuries. If you fail to wear appropriate sports gear, this can also cause sports-related injuries. If you push yourself too hard, the chances of over-exerting yourself and twisting your back, straining your shoulders, or hurting your hamstring are high. You could also suffer blows, knocks, scratches, and other injuries if you participate in contact sports.

What are common sports injuries treated by a chiropractor?

The good thing about chiropractic care is that it can treat various sports injuries, including:

  • Muscle strains
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Tennis elbow
  • Running injuries, including runner’s knee, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis
  • Neck, back, and shoulder pain
  • Soft tissue injuries, including whiplash, ligament and tendon tears

While these injuries can cause pain, inflammation, and limited mobility, our chiropractors can provide relief, helping restore your whole body function.

How does a chiropractor treat sports injuries?

Chiropractic care is beneficial for sports-related injuries because it uses natural remedies to relieve the pain or discomfort from the source. Common chiropractic techniques we use for sports injuries include:

  • Spinal manipulation: This technique aligns the spine, relieving pressure on the compressed nerves, reducing inflammation and pain
  • Massage therapy: Helps in relieving tension in tight muscles. Additionally, it helps break apart scarred tissue, promoting blood circulation that catalyzes natural healing

How do I prevent sports injuries?

While sports injuries are treatable, it’s vital to prevent them from occurring in the first place. A proper warm-up can help prevent numerous muscle-related injuries. Wearing protective gear when playing sports like hockey, cricket, and similar activities can prevent injuries. Additionally, knowing your limits and avoiding overutilization of muscles can help.
