Playing sports, whether competitively or just for fun, can sometimes lead to painful injuries that disrupt your active lifestyle. From weekend warriors to professional athletes, sports injuries can sideline anyone. If you've suffered an injury related to athletic activity, our chiropractor at Elite Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Beverly Hills, CA, can help get you back on your feet.
Understanding Common Sports Injuries
Some of the most frequent sports injuries treated by chiropractors include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tendinitis, and bursitis. These conditions often affect the shoulder, knee, ankle, back, and other vulnerable areas.
Sprains involve stretched or torn ligaments, while strains affect muscles and tendons. Fractures occur when bones break, and dislocations involve bones being knocked out of their proper joint positions. Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon, and bursitis involves inflamed fluid sacs. All of these injuries result in pain and limited mobility that interferes with sports performance.
Treating Injuries Without Drugs or Surgery
Our chiropractor at our Beverly Hills clinic uses many non-invasive methods to treat sports injuries and promote rapid healing:
- Gentle joint mobilization helps restore normal range of motion.
- Soft tissue massage techniques release tight, contracted muscles.
- Specific adjustments realign joints and reduce swelling.
- Targeted stretches and exercises strengthen weakened areas.
- Cold and hot therapy reduces inflammation and pain.
- Supportive braces or taping stabilize vulnerable joints.
This comprehensive, drug-free approach addresses the root cause of injury pain to speed up recovery.
Rehab and Injury Prevention
Once initial pain and inflammation have been reduced, customized rehab programs help rebuild strength and prevent future injuries. Your chiropractor may use active release therapy, ultrasound, muscle stimulation, and other techniques to accelerate healing. We will also identify any muscle imbalances, movement compensations, or biomechanical issues that could contribute to repetitive sports injuries. Corrective exercises, gait retraining, lifestyle coaching, and other preventive care help athletes stay off the injured list.
