Sports Injuries Helped By Chiropractic Care In Nashville TN

By Julio Riess


Sports injuries are as common among amateurs as professionals. The weekend warrior who is sedentary at work in an office all week, may rush into sports without warming up or stretching prior to play. A Nashville TN Chiropractor advises preparing the body before any type of athletic activity.

There is little chance of escaping all of the minor hurts that occur. Frequently, sports lead to back, neck, knee and a myriad of other injuries. The vertebrae can be jolted out of alignment and the muscles can be strained or sprained.

Symptoms are muscle spasms, inflammation, swollen ankles or a burning sensation on the skin. The symptoms must be attended to in order to heal the condition. Poor posture can exacerbate the hurting. Chiropractic advice can help you correct it.

Chiropractors see many clients with knee injuries that occur during a game. There are three major ones. One is the anterior cruciate ligament or ACL. It is located in the knee joint. Excessive pressure can cause a tear, disabling the knee.

The second common injury is to the media collateral ligament, which also helps keep the knee stable. Often ACL and MCL damage occurs at the same time. A wedge-shaped rubber-like cushion called the meniscus aids in smooth movement of the knee joint. The knee is vulnerable to damage because it bears the weight of the body.

An athlete goes through so much twisting and pivoting on the basketball court as well as during other games. The exercise routine custom designed for each one will help to restore normal abilities. Counseling will be offered on how long to rest to facilitate healing.

A runner encounters a different set of injuries. A woman is built in a way that makes her vulnerable to developing shin splints. As the foot hits the ground the repetitive pounding causes stress to the hip joint. The chiropractor uses a combination of joint mobilization methods and soft tissue repair to alleviate the pain.
