Common Sports Injuries Treated by Chiropractors

There are many reasons why people come to see a chiropractor in Temple, TX. Back and neck injuries are the most common overall, and although they can be sustained while practicing their sport, they are often the byproduct of a car accident or work accident. Here are some of the more common sports-related ailments.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries involve damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons on the body. They can lead to bruising (also known as contusions), stress fractures - cracks in the bone, Sprains (pulling or tearing of ligaments), strains (pulling or tearing of muscles or tendons). 

Repetitive Motion Injuries

Some of the most common injuries in sports don't happen because of a single bad move or hit while participating in a sport. They happen little by little over time. These are repetitive motion injuries, some of these include

  • Tendonitis - Inflammation of the tendon, or tissue that connects bone and muscle.
  • Bursitis - Inflammation of a fluid-filled sac, the bursa, that provides cushioning to bones, muscles, and tendons
  • Tennis or golfer's elbow - Injury to the elbow caused by the repeated swing of a racket or golf club
  • Runner's knee - Injury to the knee from repeated pressure
  • Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Injuries

A Chiropractor Can Treat These Injuries and More

When athletes seek treatment for these injuries from their healthcare provider it is often suggested that they stop participating in the sport, or they may be prescribed some type of medication to help them deal with the pain. At Armstrong Chiropractic, in Temple, we understand that quitting is not something that an athlete likes to do. While rest is sometimes part of the treatment, we do what we can to get you back playing the sport you love as soon as possible and help arm you with the tools and knowledge you need to prevent or delay future injuries.
