Treatment for Sport Injuries

There is nothing more bothersome than struggling with a nagging sports injury. Sports injuries are injuries that occur while participating in sports activities. Sports injuries can arise due to over-training, improper conditioning, or unconventional techniques when you fail to warm-up.

Individuals that participate in sports are more susceptible to tendon injuries and bone fractures than others of the same age. Sports injuries range from mild to severe. Contact our chiropractors at Cole Chiropractic Center in Cordova for sports injury treatment.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat a Sports Injury?

Our chiropractors help athletes by providing pain relief for their injuries and helping them recover faster. Chiropractic care promotes quicker recovery for sports injuries and better balance and overall performance. To start your sports injury treatment, the chiropractor will ask you questions about your health and conduct a structural exam of your posture, spine, and balance. We will examine your back, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Each treatment plan is customized and often include a combination of the following:

• Spinal mobilization: This modality uses a tool or uncomplicated stretches to ease the pressure on the joints.
• Spinal adjustments: The chiropractor will place you in different positions and conduct a manual adjustment to the affected joint.
• Electric Stimulation: Mild electrical pulses are sent into the muscles to reduce pain.
• Cold Therapy and Heat Therapy
