How Chiropractic Helps Sport Injuries In Redding

By Lyndon Zerna


Those who play professional sports have access to all the latest safety gear. However, they still manage to get hurt. The weekend athlete may be even more prone to injury. Your Redding Chiropractor can explain that someone who is out of condition and inflexible can be hurt more easily.

The bones and joints in the body, as well as the heart, will benefit from regular exercise. If someone spends all week behind a desk, he may be prone to injury when he participates in amateur games on the weekend. Most susceptible to being hurt are the knees, ankles and spine.

Your first appointment with the chiropractor will be spent doing a thorough assessment of the injury. Questions and answers about the circumstances, a physical exam and an x-ray to rule out fractures may indicate the optimal care plan for you. There are no invasive tests and no drugs will be administered.

You may be able to avoid the same injury from happening again if you know what to watch out for. Care may include gentle spinal adjustments, heat or cold applications and compression to reduce swelling.

Contrary to popular opinion, too much bed rest is detrimental to the healing process. More than 48 hours is excessive in most cases. Rely on the education and experience of your chiropractor to make care recommendations on your behalf.

The impact of your accident may displace one or more of the small bones in the spine, which encase the spinal cord. Pressure against a nerve may cause excruciating pain. Gentle adjustments can return the vertebrae into the correct alignment, thus relieving pressure against the nerve.

When your Redding chiropractor recommends the optimal care plan for your circumstances, it may differ from one your cousin had following a similar injury. This is because each person is an individual and the same care may not be beneficial in every case. Your rehabilitation may require different care due to age or physical condition.
