How Chiropractic Care Can Help In Sports Rehab
Chiropractors specialize in and provide various methods of treatment for issues within the musculoskeletal system. While the type of treatment used can vary depending on your needs, the following are some common and effective ones.
Spinal Adjustments and Manipulation
Proper alignment is critical to life – whether you are on the track or field or you are at home. Misalignment leads to pain, headaches, restricted movement, herniated discs, and more. Restoring alignment through adjustments and manipulation is a safe and natural method for addressing the root cause and relieving these symptoms.
Spinal Traction and Decompression
From an injury to bad habits, the spine can easily become compressed. This can also lead to herniated discs, nerve impingement, and more. Spinal traction and decompression release this compression by gently stretching the spinal column, creating space for all components and enhancing healing.
PNF Stretching
PNF stretching is a very targeted approach to addressing muscles and joints. It improves strength and flexibility while relieving tension.
Electrical Stimulation Therapy
Electrical muscle stimulation sends tiny electrical pulses to the muscles, causing them to contract and release. This addressed tension, muscle spasms, and more while improving blood flow to the target area.
