Participating in sports is great for your health and well-being. However, sports injuries are a common concern. The good news is that chiropractic care can help treat and prevent sports injuries. At Grand Teton Chiropractic, P.C., in Idaho Falls, ID, we can help treat sports injuries.
What Sports Injuries Can Our Chiropractor in Idaho Falls Treat?
Chiropractors can help treat a number of sports injuries. These include pain in the back, neck, hands, knees, and elbows. Strains, sprains, and herniated discs are a few sports injuries that chiropractors can help treat.
Benefits of Choosing Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractic treatment offers a few benefits over traditional medical treatment. Conventional treatments may consist of pain medications and rest.
However, chiropractic care seeks to treat the root cause of the issue with chiropractic adjustment. This can help reduce your pain and significantly speed up your healing time. It can also help reduce the risk of long-term issues due to the injury by helping to allow your body to heal correctly.
Chiropractic treatment can be used along with standard medicine.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustment is the heart of chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustment might also be known as spinal manipulation. This technique involves using gentle pressure to realign the spine.
Spinal manipulation can help reduce inflammation and pain, and potentially reduce healing time. It also may help your body function properly, which can help prevent future injuries by keeping your body in balance.
Chiropractic adjustment isn't just for your spine, however. Adjustments may be performed on other joints in the body. If you've experienced an injury to a joint, like your knee, elbow, or wrist, chiropractic adjustment might be able to help the injury heal.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises may be recommended in addition to chiropractic adjustment. Our chiropractor will teach you how to do the exercises correctly. You'll then be asked to continue them in your home.
These exercises can strengthen weak areas and help you heal from an injury. We can also help you to improve flexibility, increase blood flow, and reduce pain.
Other Treatments
In addition to standard chiropractic treatments, we offer electrical stimulation therapy, and ultrasound therapy. These treatments are non-invasive and can be used to compliment your care.
Lifestyle and Nutrition Advice
Lastly, our chiropractor takes a holistic view of wellness. Instead of only treating your injury, he wants you to be healthy in all areas. We may recommend certain lifestyle changes to help you recover. This can include beginning a new exercise regimen or stretching routine or avoiding pain triggers in your daily life.
