If you’ve been injured playing sports, Dr. Bijan Eshkevari at Ultra Spine Care in Houston Heights, TX is the sports injury chiropractor you need on your team.
How Chiropractic Care Benefits Sports Injuries
Playing sports at any level can lead to an injury. Whether you’re running, swinging a tennis racket or baseball bat, playing contact sports, or skiing, your body is pushed to – and often past – its limits. Even training too often or without warming up properly can take a toll. And for many people, that toll can greatly impact their performance and even keep them from playing their beloved sport.
What’s often worse is that many are told that a sports injury needs to be treated through invasive procedures or addictive substances – things that can negatively affect their performance even more.
Fortunately, there is another solution. A sports injury chiropractor like Dr. Eshkevari at Ultra Spine Care in Houston Heights, TX can help you get back to your pre-injury self naturally and as quickly as possible. Learn more about how below.
What Is a Sports Injury Chiropractor?
A sports injury chiropractor is a specialist who understands the demands of sports activity on the neuromusculoskeletal system, how that activity can impact it, and the safest and most natural ways to address it.
Sports injuries can come in many different forms, including but not limited to:
- Shoulder injuries
- Leg injuries
- Wrist, elbow, or ankle injuries
- Knee injuries
- Disc injuries
- Whiplash
- Sciatica
- Shin splints
Each of these is tied up in the neuromusculoskeletal system – something chiropractors specialize in. And each of these can prevent you from running, hitting, catching, throwing, or carrying out any other movement as well as you should.
One problem many athletes are unaware of is that the area that hurts or is not performing well may not be the actual site of the injury. For example, shoulder pain might be caused by a compressed nerve or strained muscle in the back. And if you only seek care for the shoulder area, you’ll never achieve healing and recovery.
A sports injury chiropractor doesn’t just treat the site of the symptoms. They dig in to determine the root cause, focusing their efforts on addressing the actual issue. And they use various methods to do so, including:
- Adjustments
- Spinal decompression
- Acupuncture
- Soft tissue therapy
- Electrotherapy
By combining various techniques to promote the body’s natural healing processes, sports injury chiropractors help you achieve lasting recovery and enhance your performance.
