Chiropractic Care For Sports Injury| Northgate Accident & Injury Clinic

One of the most critical components to the success of any athlete is maintaining flexibility; whether running, throwing, catching, or swinging a baseball bat, tennis racket, or golf club, all sports movements require the joints to work smoothly and in unison for optimum performance. Sports chiropractors understand how to examine the entire kinetic chain of body movement to locate areas of restriction that may interfere with fluid body movement. Mechanics are so crucial that a minor change in body posture can significantly change body movement.

Over time, improper movements can result in inflammation that can result in injury, sometimes severe enough to place a player on the “disabled list.” Sports chiropractors address stretching techniques and help guide athletes on proper care, such as furnishing instructions on appropriate equipment selection, especially shoes, and knowing when to put heat or ice on an injury. Here, the wrong choice can do more damage than good.

Professional athletes rely on routine chiropractic care as a non-invasive, safe, natural, drug-free option to relieve pain, prevent injury, and enhance performance. As a sports chiropractic provider at Northgate Accident & Injury Clinic, our team works with athletes and physically active people to help them stay at the top of their game.

What Is A Sports Chiropractor?

Sports chiropractors can diagnose and treat sports performance-related injuries. They are experts in injury prevention and rehabilitation and are experienced in implementing treatment plans that allow athletes to return to their sport faster.

Sports Chiropractors or chiropractors specializing in sports therapy after sports injuries work with athletes who participate in various sports and physical activities, including:

• Rock climbing
• Tennis
• Golf
• Hockey
• Weight Training
• Baseball
• Yoga
• Running
• Track
• Basketball

Sports therapy is beneficial not only for those injured but also for those who want to prevent injuries and improve mobility and function. Chiropractors specializing in sports therapy focus on muscle imbalances, posture, and overused areas to help athletes optimize and enhance their performance.

Chiropractic adjustments are a small part of the healing process if you suffer from sports injuries. At Northgate Accident & Injury Clinic, we focus on not only a quick adjustment to put a band-aid on the wound, rather a prevention and recovery method. We devise a complete therapy plan tailored to you and the problem area. For example, a program may include exercises to improve coordination, muscle tone, and resistance training.

Chiropractors specializing in sports injuries help athletes or people engaged in regular activity return to their active routine as quickly as possible. Regardless of experience level, our sports chiropractor at Northgate Accident & Injury Clinic will help you recover faster while improving overall athletic performance.

What Is The Difference Between A Sports Chiropractor From a Traditional Chiro?

A traditional chiropractor is a healthcare professional who diagnoses and treats neuromuscular disorders. Their main goal is to restore the function of the nervous system by manually adjusting the spine and reducing pain. Although there are many benefits to a traditional chiropractor, athletes and regular to intense physically active people need more. They need a sports chiropractor specializing in sports injuries and helping the patients improve their overall performance.

An appointment with Dr. Trevor at Northgate Accident & Injury Clinic to address sports-related injuries or improve athletic performance may require several therapies, including myofascial release, athletic taping, stretching, and adjustments. Appointments take 20-30 minutes versus a 5-minute adjustment from a traditional chiropractor.
