Sports Injuries

Whether you are an amateur sports enthusiast or a professional athlete, sitting on the side line with an injury can be emotionally and physically draining. A sudden sprain or ongoing strain can make your goals seem that much harder to achieve.

Often, patients turn to chiropractic care to relieve symptoms of discomfort when it has occurred through sports. Applying cold compresses and using medication only provide temporary relief for pain and inflammation. Chiropractic care may help speed up the recovery process and get you back to your competitive best sooner.

When people talk about a sports injury, they often think about sudden trauma. But sports injuries can also occur from underlying problems and develop over time.

All of these injuries can affect your quality of life and prevent you from playing sport at the best of your ability. Yet, they are sports injuries that could be supported with a holistic approach such as chiropractic care. It does not have to involve taking pain medication with side effects or permanently giving up your favourite sports and active pursuits.
