Sports Injuries – More Than Muscle Strain

When you think of sports injuries, you might picture pulled muscles, sprains or sore tendons. While these are common, injuries often involve a deeper issue, of  misalignments in the spine or joints.

These misalignments can impact your body’s biomechanics, leading to reduced mobility, chronic pain, and even a higher risk of future injuries.

Sports injury chiropractic care focuses on addressing the root of the problem rather than just masking symptoms.

By realigning the spine and optimizing joint function, our team of professionals help restore balance to your body, allowing it to heal naturally and perform at its peak.

What Types of Sports Injuries Can a Chiropractor Treat?

A sports injury chiropractor and physiotherapist are trained to treat a wide range of sports-related injuries.

These injuries often stem from overuse, repetitive motions, or sudden impact, leading to issues with muscles, joints, tendons, or ligaments.

Treatment at Core Wellness Centre addresses not only the injury itself but also the underlying biomechanical imbalances that may have contributed to it.

Common Sports Injuries Treated with Chiropractic Care

• Sprains and Strains: Overstretching or tearing of ligaments (sprains) and muscles (strains) are common in sports. Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy help restore function and reduce inflammation.
• Tendonitis: Repetitive motion can inflame tendons, as seen in conditions like tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis. Our chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopathy uses manual therapy, stretching, and rehab exercises to ease pain and improve mobility.
• Runner’s Knee & IT Band Syndrome: These overuse injuries can cause discomfort in the knees and hips. Personalized treatment plans address misalignments in the lower back, hips, and knees to relieve pain and improve alignment.
• Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Injuries: Sports like swimming or tennis can strain the rotator cuff. Our team of professional therapists combine adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and strengthening exercises to restore shoulder function.
• Back and Neck Injuries: Contact sports or repetitive strain can lead to conditions like herniated discs or whiplash. Spinal adjustments, spinal decompression or y strap adjustments relieve nerve pressure, reducing pain and improving posture.
• Concussions and Post-Concussion Syndrome: While sports injury chiropractors don’t treat concussions directly, they can help alleviate secondary symptoms like neck pain, headaches, and dizziness through spinal adjustments.

By addressing the root cause of the injury, our treatment plans ensure a comprehensive recovery that not only resolves the immediate issue but also helps prevent future injuries.
