Athlete Chiropractic Adjustment

Sports injuries are common amongst athletes and can often be caused by repetitive motion, extreme force or contact. Common sports injuries include ankle sprains, ACL tears, shoulder dislocations, tennis elbow and more. These injuries can result in pain, stiffness and decreased mobility as well as cause psychological trauma for the athlete. It is important for athletes to seek medical treatment for these injuries in order to ensure their speedy recovery and future success.

 

Chiropractic is a holistic approach to treating sports injuries that focuses on the spine, muscles and nerves with manual therapies such as spinal manipulation, postural corrections and exercises. Chiropractic care has been found to be effective in treating a wide range of sports-related injuries, from ankle sprains to shoulder dislocation.

 

In Singapore, chiropractic treatment for sports injuries is gaining popularity as athletes seek out natural alternatives for pain relief. Chiropractors use their hands to manipulate the spine and surrounding tissue, as well as posture corrections and exercises to help speed up recovery, reduce inflammation, improve range of motion and restore muscle balance.

 

Recent studies have conclusively established that chiropractic care can improve proprioception, enabling the brain to control limb motion and actions with more precision. It also suggest that one appointment of chiropractic treatment could be as helpful in improving core muscle activation and increasing contractions of muscles, much like three weeks of regular strength training.

 

Simply put, professional chiropractic care improves the communication between your brain and body, resulting in enhanced control of your core muscles during physical activity and helping to reduce the risk of injury.
