Bakersfield Athletic Injury Safety Tips

By Christian Bordner


Amateur athletes often take part in strenuous activities on the weekend while being idle through the week. While they may enjoy the game, they are setting themselves up for injuries that can have them on the sidelines for several weeks. A Bakersfield CA chiropractor provides the following tips to prevent injuring yourself.

Several weeks before heading out to the big game visit your doctor of chiropractic. If you have been inactive for several months, this is essential. The chiropractic doctor may recommend modification of the program to keep you from harming yourself. Talk with the doctor concerning risk factors for heart disease as well.

Once you receive clearance, take the time to begin slowly. Ensure you are properly warmed up and stretched before you begin the activity. This ensures the muscles are receiving the necessary blood flow to keep them healthy. Increase the intensity and time of your workout slowly and do not shock your system. You will have better results if you ease into the program in order to prevent injuring yourself.

Make sure your weekend activity is not the only workout you get all week long. For best results, be sure to stretch and participate in an aerobic activity every other day. As little as half an hour of activity on alternating days helps to keep your body in shape and ready for your big weekend game.

Even the pros suffer injuries. Chiropractic adjustments can help to speed healing. In addition, regular adjustments of the spine help to improve flexibility and range of motion. Chiropractors provide therapy that prevents formation of scar tissue at injury sites and helps to eliminate many long term problems.

An active lifestyle is generally good, as long as it takes place in moderation. Before starting and if injuries occur, see your Bakersfield CA chiropractor. When you have been inactive for an extended time, begin slowly to prevent suffering injuries in your lifestyle change.
