How does a chiropractor treat sports injuries?

Chiropractic care is the go-to treatment for sports injuries because it pinpoints the root cause of your injuries. Chiropractors don’t mask your symptoms with pain-relieving medications. Here are some of the natural chiropractic methods we use to treat sports injuries:

Chiropractic adjustment: This technique aligns the spinal muscles, reducing pressure on the spinal nerves. This triggers the body’s self-healing mechanism, providing relief to the whole body.

Rehabilitation exercise: These exercises provide faster healing after an injury. Exercises also strengthen your core muscles, preventing future injuries.

Massage therapy: Soft tissue injuries may cause muscle knots that inhibit your performance. Massage therapy relaxes tense muscles, reducing inflammation and pain.

Spinal decompression: If you have back-related pain like sciatica, pinched nerves, or a herniated disc, this technique takes the pressure off the discs, reducing back pain.
