Athletic Recovery

​​​​​​​Whether you are a professional athlete, or just enjoy taking part in your spare time, injuries are very much a common occurrence. Pulls, sprains, and strains occur regularly, and while many heal quickly without the need for professional intervention, other injuries may take weeks or even months away from your sport while you heal.

Common Types Of Sports Injury Treated By Chiropractors

Although professional and regular sports players are less likely to suffer from injury than someone who plays intermittently, they do still occur. All of our bodies are prone to the same types of injuries, many of which can create a range of side effects, from discomfort and pain to swelling, limited mobility, and an interruption to the ability to perform day-to-day tasks.

In some instances, it may be an underlying problem that causes the injury, such as joint or spine issues. These often occur gradually and without symptoms, until one day, when the underlying problem causes something noticeable to develop.

Some of the most common sports injuries treated by chiropractors include:

• Achilles tendon problems

• Calf and hamstring pulls

• Golfer’s elbow

• Groin strain

• Lower back pain

• Neck pain

• Shoulder pain (rotator cuff injuries)

• Thigh injuries
