Recovering from a sports injury can seem like a dauntingly long process, especially when you’re first injured and looking for answers. Often times, the solution is as simple as waiting for your injury to heal in its own time. Lessening the amount of strain you place on the injured area and staying away from anything that could exacerbate your injury helps however, there are alternatives to just waiting and taking pain relief medications or anti-inflammatories to “get by” that can help you recovery faster from a sports injury and get back into your sport. At Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness, we service the communities of Richfield, Edina, Bloomington and Minneapolis, MN for sports injury recovery treatments that can improve your body’s functionality and promote faster sports injury recovery. The side effect of chiropractic care may be an improved game to boot.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Sports Injury Treatment

Chiropractic adjustments are a common form of sports injury recovery used to combat spinal misalignments. Common causes are: excessive strain on the back or neck, a fall, whiplash, or a blow to the head, neck, or back. With chiropractic adjustments, we are able to realign vertebrae in your back and neck. This means that if you have a stiff neck, shoulders, or back, if you’ve sustained a hip or shoulder injury, if you’ve thrown your back out, or if you’ve pinched nerves or strained muscles, chiropractic adjustments can help to eliminate or alleviate all of these pains and misalignments, ensuring that you recover faster and more completely from your sports injury.

Sports Injury Massage Therapy

At our chiropractic center, we also prescribe sports injury massage therapy services used to combat muscular and nervous tension, a side effect of many sports injuries. When you’re injured while playing a sport, you’ll often find that your muscles suffer to some degree, either directly or because of the stress of sports injury trauma. Tense muscles and pinched nerves can make sports injury recovery more difficult, but with massage therapy, we can help to improve range of motion and circulation by relieving muscular and nervous tension and helping your body relax as much as possible, both physically and mentally.

Corrective Exercises for Sports Injury Prevention and Recovery

Sports injury recovery is about more than simply fixing one area of the body or another, and it takes more than pain relief to ensure a full sports injury recovery. In order to fully recover and get back to participating in your sport quickly, you’ll need to invest your time into sports injury therapy, which includes corrective exercises to aid in your sports injury recovery and to prevent sports injuries in the future. Corrective exercises, paired with chiropractic adjustments and even massage therapy, can help you experience a faster sports injury recovery than you’ve ever imagined, helping your body move naturally again without pain and minimal risk of repeated injury.
