Common Sports Injuries You May Sustain

Before we get to why physical therapy works so well on sports injuries, let’s first take the time to discuss those injuries. Let’s focus particularly on the common injuries that athletes sustain.

Sprained ankles are fairly common among athletes. If you step on another person’s foot or plant your foot the wrong way, you may turn it and sprain your ankle. Some ankle sprains are bad enough to keep you off your feet for a while.

You can also sprain your elbow fairly easily if you don’t warm up properly. After swinging a golf club or a tennis racket, you may pull a muscle or some connective tissue in your elbow. This type of sports injury is also known to negatively affect a person’s range of movement.

Book an appointment with our chiropractor if you are dealing with any of the injuries discussed here. We can provide the effective treatment you need.

Why Physical Therapy Is an Ideal Form of Treatment for a Sports Injury

Going to the chiropractor for physical therapy is one of the best things you can do for your sports injury. First off, physical therapy is ideal in that situation because it provides gentle pain relief. Your injured leg or elbow may be feeling especially tender. Physical therapy offers gentle relief so you won’t have to experience additional discomfort.

Even if your injured body part is already recovering, its range of motion may not return as quickly. You need your chiropractor to work on your injured body part to restore the range of motion you lost. Don’t forget that physical therapy also excels at strengthening your body. As long as you consistently attend your therapy sessions, your original strength level should be restored sooner rather than later.
