How We Help
The start of a practitioner from our Atco practice helping you with a sports injury is gathering information about your medical history and lifestyle. A sports injury chiropractor from our practice will then ask about how you sustained the injury or at least how you believe you injured the area.
Based on the results, our practitioner will then create a customized treatment plan with you in mind. For that reason, our chiropractor will focus on helping you recover fully and get back to the game. Often, this requires you to undergo an exercise therapy program. During this time, our chiropractor will create an exercise program geared toward your injury. It will consist of various stretches that move that particular part. As a result, circulation will increase in those areas, which facilitates healing. Additionally, you're moving that body part to stretch the area. Slowly and gradually, the exercises increase in difficulty. Because of this, your flexion and function in that body part improve over time. The progressiveness of the treatment ensures you don't overexert, reinjure, or further injure the area.
Part of your treatment for a sports injury will also include a practitioner providing you with lifestyle advice related to preventing sports injuries in the future. Our practitioner will also provide you with a customized schedule on when you can resume sports and other activities once again to ensure you don't further damage the area, which can result in permanent injuries.
Sometimes, the treatment consists of an alignment of the joint to relieve stress on the neighboring tissue and nerves. Ultimately, this can reduce your pain and discomfort now and speed up the healing process.
