Knee injuries
Without a doubt, the knee is one of the most complicated joints in the human body. As a result, it is also an area of the body that frequently sustains injury. Knee injuries are often characterized by a dull ache that extends from your hip to the injured knee, injuries that make repeated knee movements painful, or more serious injuries like a torn ACL.
“Pulled” or strained muscles
Muscle strains are commonly referred to as “pulled” This typically occurs when a muscle gets extended past its normal limits by a tendon that binds that muscle to the bone. Once a tendon gets overstretched, there is an increased risk of repeated injury.
Shin splints
Also known in medical terms as “medial tibial stress syndrome”, shin splints refer to the pain that is caused by tension that is exerted on the shin bone as well as its underlying connective tissues. These are often very painful and debilitating but can be avoided by warming up before physical activity and wearing proper footwear.
Sprains
When ligaments linking two bones together get stretched beyond their normal limits, sprains occur. If this happens once, there’s an increased likelihood that it will happen again.
Chiropractic Care and Sports Injuries
The best way to explain the relationship between chiropractic care and sports injuries is by comparing chiropractors to cardiologists.
Essentially, chiropractors are related to professional and non-professional athletes as cardiologists are to heart disease patients. Athletes who get treated by medical doctors often find themselves sidelined. In other cases, many athletes spend hours after a sports competition applying ice packs to their injuries and taking prescription pain medications.
The problem is that physicians do not treat the human body as an integrated system that chiropractors are educated and trained to treat. Instead, they treat every issue separately. On the other hand, chiropractors provide a more holistic approach and a balanced form of treatment by using physical therapy and spinal adjustments. This enables the patient’s ligaments, muscles, and tendons to return to their normal everyday function.
