Chiropractic Pain Relief For Sprains
Many people, when they have an injury often try to push themselves through the pain, using the mantra “no pain no gain”. This is all fine and good when you are pushing yourself to new personal bests; however, this does not hold true when you are injured, or as I like to say, “how many miles do you jog on your sprained or fractured ankle?”. The pain of injury is different, and it is your body’s warning sign to stop and seek treatment for your sports related injury.
When incurring an injury always, first follow the RICE method (rest, ice, compression and elevation).
Chiropractic Care for Sports Related Injuries
Chiropractors are well trained to treat all types of sports and activity related injuries. Besides manipulative techniques, we use electrical muscle stimulation of various types (depending on the injury), ultrasound (for swelling and inflammation), trigger point therapy and various forms of massage (for muscles and joints), Kinesio or sports taping, and other modalities and therapeutics.
I have worked every genre of athlete over the years and in most cases, able to get them back in the action quickly and efficiently. Use ice right away but if symptoms persist, then call and come in for and evaluation and receive the treatment necessary to get you back to your favorite sport or activity.
