Sports Injuries
Don't let sports-related injuries get in the way of your healthy lifestyle. With natural medicine therapies like chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and nutrition, you can be back on top of your game. Treat injuries early — don't let them become chronic, difficult-to-treat conditions that cause you months (or even years) of pain and discomfort.
Types of Injuries
Acute injuries are caused by a sudden trauma. Common acute injuries include contusions (bruises), sprains (a partial or complete tear of a ligament), strains (a partial or complete tear of a muscle or tendon) and fractures.
Overuse injuries are not caused by a single event. Instead, a series of small injuries overtime can cause minor fractures, muscle tears, or progressive bone damage. Overuse injuries are preventable with proper body mechanics, good health, and proper physical conditioning.
Natural Care
The best treatment for many injuries is often rest and proper nutrition to allow your body to repair itself. More serious injuries, or minor injuries that don't heal properly can benefit from:
- Stretching that targets specific muscles.
- Sports-specific exercises to condition your body properly.
- Proper nutrition to give your body what it needs to heal.
- Proper body mechanics and alignment to prevent further injury.
- Use pain-relieving natural supplements and liniments that relax muscles and speed healing.
