How Chiropractic Helps with Sports Injuries

Playing sports can cause a lot of stress on one’s body. From football to cross country, the amount of stress we put on our body makes a difference in how it continues to perform and feel. 

Chiropractic can assist in the alleviation of pain caused by sport injuries in some patients. Our team at Lowcountry Chiropractic will do our best to help you manage your pain with our quality chiropractic care.

While participating in sports is a fun and healthy habit to have, it can result in injuries ranging from sprains to breaks and tears all throughout the body. When those injuries heal, they normally are not the same as they once were. They can cause various symptoms such as:

• Swelling
• Dull pain
• Muscle Pains
• Headaches
• Inflammation
• Muscle Spasms

In chiropractic treatment of sports injuries, each injury will call for individual and custom care of the individual. Common sports injuries include the neck and pinched nerves. A chiropractor will use gentle and effective adjustments to the neck when there is injury or pain. These adjustments will alleviate the pain over time as the neck is aligned correctly. Pinched nerves caused by sport injuries are treated through chiropractic adjustments to alleviate pressure on the nerve, ultimately alleviating the pain. Each treatment by a chiropractor is performed with the intention of helping the body function better than is was before treatment.
