BOCA RATON, Fla., April 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shadowood Chiropractic Center in Boca Raton, FL continues successful treatment for sports injuries. Dr. Allan DellaBella provides chiropractic care for professional and Olympic athletes, as well as local and youth athletes. Dr. DellaBella's treatments focus on the underlying cause for pain an injury. According to Dr. DellaBella, a herniated disc or misalignment in the musculoskeletal system can lead to chronic pain. By addressing the underlying injury through a combination of chiropractic care and deep tissue massage therapy, Dr. DellaBella works to relieve pain and help the injury naturally heal.
Dr. Allan DellaBella has received international acclaim for his successful treatment of sports injuries. He has previously been selected as chiropractor to the U.S. Olympic Team and has led Chinese physicians in teaching chiropractic techniques. He continues to provide sports injury treatment to Olympic patients, professional and amateur athletes.
"A sports injury can cause serious damage to the body's musculoskeletal system," said Dr. DellaBella. "My mission is to identify an underlying misalignment and help restore alignment, which provides long-lasting pain management. For example, a herniated disc may compress nearby nerves, which can lead to radiating pain. Spinal adjustments help restore the disc to its proper position, relieving pressure on the nerves and minimizing pain."
Dr. DellaBella uses the manual Cox Adjustment technique, which many chiropractors consider the "Golden Standard" for chiropractic care and pain management. According to the Boca Raton chiropractor, this technique is effective for reliving neck pain, back pain, leg pain and shoulder pain caused by a misalignment.
Dr. DellaBella also treats soft tissue injuries, including sprains or strains that damage the body's ligaments and tendons. Additionally, he cares for repetitive strain injuries like Tennis Elbow, also known as Golfer's Elbow or Epicondylitis.
"Sports injuries are unique for every patient," said Dr. Della Bella. "That's why I create custom treatment plans specifically tailored to a patient's injury treatment needs. I frequently combine chiropractic adjustments with deep tissue massage therapy."
According to Dr. DellaBella, massage therapy promotes internal healing and invigorates the flow of fresh, oxygenated blood through the muscle tissue. This releases tension trapped deep within the muscles. Many of Dr. DellaBella's patients continue to receive deep tissue massage treatments even after their injuries are corrected.
"Massage can penetrate deep into the fascia, unlocking tensions and pain," said Dr. Della Bella. "This safely increases the body's natural flexibility and range of motion, and can make a big difference for both pain management and athletic performance."
Dr. DellaBella treats professional athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, and LPGA. He also treats professional athletes who are active in tennis, NASCAR, bowling, wrestling, soccer, cycling, motocross and surfing.
