Treatments Used in Sports Chiropractic Care

The following are just a few sports chiropractic techniques. However, your treatment plan will be customized to your needs.

Adjustments

If there is a misalignment anywhere in your skeletal system, it can impact your range of motion, cause pain, lead to herniated discs and nerve compression, and more. Adjustments restore proper alignment, allowing everything to function as it should.

Trigger Point Therapy

Your muscles and the fascia – the connective tissue over your muscles and organs – often develop knots. Typically, this occurs due to overuse or an untreated injury. These knots can cause severe pain and limit your range of motion. Trigger point therapy is a technique utilized to release these knots.

Therapeutic and Rehabilitation Exercises

From posture issues to injuries, therapeutic and rehab exercises can help. These are targeted stretching and strengthening movements that restore range of motion, improve spinal health and wellness, correct postural problems, relieve pain, stimulate healing, and much more.

Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation therapy sends small electrical currents to the muscles, causing them to contract and relax. This helps release muscle spasms and improve blood flow to the injured site.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

When you’ve sustained a soft tissue injury, the damage often lies in the deep layers. And unfortunately, these layers can be difficult to reach. Therapeutic ultrasound is a technique that utilizes sound waves to penetrate deep layers of tissue, breaking up tension and scar tissue while stimulating tissue repair.

Nutritional Guidance

As an athlete, you likely know how important it is for you to eat a healthy diet. However, not everyone needs the same types and amounts of nutrients. Your sports chiropractor can help determine what the healthiest diet for you is.
