Chiropractors are some of the most actively involved health-care professionals in sports-related conditioning, injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The most typical injury involves the back, neck or shoulder type injuries caused by over the head movements found in sports like tennis, softball, pitching, hockey and even golf leading to pain and lack of mobility. Alot of knee and back injuries are also caused by snowboarding, skiing and soccer.
Chiropractic manipulations are vital in restoring the biomechanics of the shoulder, neck, upper back and hips. Many professional sports teams employ chiropractors to treat and prevent sports injuries.
Chiropractic care of a sport injury regardless of whether you are a professional or amateur athlete can take a week to eight weeks to heal depending on the particular injury. Shoulder and knee injuries typically take the longest as those joints are the least stable. Once the injury has healed it is a good idea to continue with regular chiropractic adjustments to keep the body balanced properly and functioning at its peak.
Be safe and take care of yourself!
