Sports Injuries and Treatment in Waukesha
Dr. Jamie promotes a healthy lifestyle and encourages her patients to participate in some form of physical activity. Physical activity and sports participation can be anything from a weekend warrior to a professional athlete. However, increasing activity and sports participation may lead to strains, sprains, and stress on different parts of the body. At Full Motion Family Chiropractic, your waukesha chiropractor, we understand just how painful and difficult it can be to suffer from your injuries. While chiropractic care cannot cure the pain, Dr. Jamies’s all-natural approach to treatment is able to alleviate symptoms and get you back to an active lifestyle.
Weekend Warriors:
Let's take the weekend athlete, or for that matter, anyone who enjoys exercising. Injuries happen. While they can be minimized, they are hard to be totally avoided. If a person participates enough in any physical activity, eventually that person may get hurt to some degree. The way in which one treats his injuries determines how fast one recovers, how well they recover and how quickly one can get back to the activity he enjoys.
Athletes:
Athletes may ask themselves why they get injured? They stretch out, and feel like they are in pretty good shape. So, why? Usually there is a very simple formula. In most cases, we play too hard, for too long, or push too hard, too fast. Due to instability somewhere in the chain, over use syndromes begin to present, causing pain and inflammation. Maybe it is improper stretching, or stretching too much. There are so many possibilities for this reason, that seeking help to determine the cause will help you recover more quickly and help to prevent future breakdown of the body.
When an Athlete hurts themselves outside of sport:
In the case of household duties such as spring cleaning, do any of us warm up before carrying those boxes into the crawl space of our ceilings? This may not seem like a sports injury, but in fact, overuse syndromes or playing full speed before we are really warmed up are the major causes of sports injuries. Simple household chores, while done cold, can mimic a sports injury to some extent.
Chiropractic offers a balanced approach to the treatment and the healing of sports injuries. By using the chiropractic adjustment to return spinal segments to their normal mobility and by using physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises to help the supportive tissues (muscles, tendons, & ligaments), chiropractic physicians help the injured areas return to normal function. Combined with some rest to help the healing process, athletes will find their way back on the field. Afterward, better strategies for exercise and stretching will be discussed with the athlete to help him stay healthy on the field.
Many professional athletes are utilizing chiropractic care more and more because they realize that it helps them maximize athletic performance. Did you know that our Greenbay Packers quarter back, Aaron Rodgers father is a chiropractor? All 32 NFL teams utilize a chiropractor, in addition to Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and many more.
