See How Chiropractic Helps Sports Injuries In Winnipeg

By April Madrid


Athletes, student athletes in particular, are at constant risk of injury. Those who participate in full contact sports are at a special risk for injuries like whiplash, which require chiropractic care.

Studies have shown that chiropractic care can be helpful for a number of common sports injuries. Whiplash is a frequent issue among those who place football. People who play ice hockey often develop recurrent shoulder instability as the result of their sport and the strains that it entail - which can be alleviated by working with a seasoned chiropractor.

Chiropractic care has also been shown to help with sports hernia, tennis elbow and rotator cuff injuries (a problem for baseball players).

Chiropractors are also trained to work with patients on improving their posture and this can sometimes translate to improvements in form that reduce the risk of future injuries. This is particularly true for runners - a chiropractor can help with biomechanics and posture issues.

By working along with your trainers and coach, these professionals can devise special, rehabilitative activities and they their philosophy often involves avoiding prolonged periods of rest. Chiropractors can additionally devise individualized forms of therapy that account for unique needs and lifestyle factors for each athlete, no matter what sport the patient is engaging in.

Student athletes can be particularly difficult when it comes to complying with an order to rest, especially if it comes at a key part of the season. Many professional and college teams now have a chiropractor on staff full time.

In other words, a Winnipeg chiropractor can help get you back on the field quickly, without further injury, and even reduce your risk. In fact, there's some evidence regular chiropractic care can improve athletic performance. All of this makes it worthwhile to talk to a chiropractor after an injury, or even before. Regardless of your chosen sport, chiropractic care can help with injury prevention and recovery.
