About Chiropractic
Sports Injuries
The chiropractors at City Chiropractic Care specialise in the non-drug treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including joint sprains and disc injuries. Often, when a muscle or joint is injured, the body naturally compensates, attempting to maintain balance and protect itself by tightening other muscles and joints. To address a problem specifically, the persistent pain in your shoulder could be the result of a direct injury to the shoulder; it could also reflect your body's compensation for spinal-joint movement restrictions in your neck or upper back.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore the natural balance that was present before the injury. Treatment of sports injuries at City Chiropractic Care includes widely used physical therapies such as ice for swelling and inflammation and heat and muscle stimulation for muscle strains and sprains. These techniques help athletes return to training and perform at their peak level sooner.
