Don't Wait to Heal
Sports Injuries and How to Deal with Serious Cases
The older you get, the longer it takes sport-related injuries to heal. Without proper attention, these injuries will linger and cause all kinds of problems later in life. You might have a shoulder that has been acting up for years, or maybe a knee that causes fits from time to time. These usually stem from injuries sustained at an earlier time in life, but you don’t have to accept these injuries as part of your life. All you need to do is have it addressed now. By addressing the injury early on, you will avoid those long-term problems.
Our Approach
Treating Sports Injuries
Most sports injuries are not broken bones or twisted ankles. Instead, most injuries are internal and may not have any pain or discomfort at first. However, leaving your sports injury untreated can lead to major complications later in life. Often, the injury is due to a bone that has slightly shifted out of position, or it is rubbing up against a nerve. Surgery for these kinds of injuries should be a last-ditch effort, thankfully, you likely won’t need to consider anything of that nature.
What We See
Common Sports-Related Injuries
Shin Splints
Often found in runners, tennis, soccer, and basketball players due to frequent start and stop motions. Those with chronic pain usually receive treatment on their ankle, calf, and foot.
Knee Injuries
Runner's knee causes pain and tenderness by the kneecap or around the sides of the knee, often caused by misalignments of the hip and spine. We make adjustments to properly align the affected area to ease stress on joints and decrease inflammation.
Sprains and Strains
Strains and sprains happen when a tendon, ligament, or muscle is torn. Often massage is used to increase proper blood flow to help reduce inflammation.
Dislocations
Seen in high-impact sports like football or hockey. To treat dislocations, we use a combination of ultrasound, laser therapy, hot/cold compresses, electrotherapy, and a slow increase of exercise to strengthen the shoulder.
