Chiropractic: Sports Injuries
Learn what Dr. Joni Labbe, your San Diego Chiropractor & Clinical Nutritionist, recommends for structural sports injuries.
Sports injuries can cause the debilitating type of problems often associated with trauma. Most of these injuries are usually to the ligaments, the tissue that connects bones to bones and or to muscles though fractures and dislocations do occur at times especially with the contact sports.
A strain is any injury to either a muscle or its tendon and a sprain to ligaments. The most common areas for these types of injuries are the ankles, knees, and the shoulders though other areas can be affected including the low back and neck. Of course, injuries to the neck and low back can be quite serious as the spinal cord or spinal nerves can also be involved. |
It is important to have your injury properly assessed so you know the extent of damage. Most of these injuries can recover if proper care during the various stages of healing is used. If not managed carefully some sprains and strains can leave us with long lasting problems of joint instability, painful or weak joints and muscles, and lack of mobility. We are trained in the management of sports injury can give you the proper advice and treatment to insure that your injury will heal in the best possible way.
