STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Touch Stone Rehabilitation & Health Center of Staten Island, New York, is pleased to offer sports injury treatments to area residents who have pulled muscles, strains, or sprains resulting from sports or other strenuous activities. "Summer warmth," says Touch Stone Rehabilitation & Health Center's Dr. Angelo DiMaggio, "brings people outdoors for a wide variety of reasons from yard work to sports participation, hiking, bicycling, etc. That's when injuries we occur. We're not just offering pain relief, we're offering education, corrective exercises and preventative care too."
Staten Island, New York's Touch Stone Rehabilitation & Health Center is set to offer sports injury treatments just in time for summer, when these injuries tend to pick up dramatically according to the clinic's chiropractor, Dr. Angelo DiMaggio. Dr. DiMaggio believes this is one more service the clinic can offer in order to better serve the whole person.
"Sports injuries are not only painful, but they can also limit a person's range of motion. In some cases, they go as far as limiting mobility, which often leads to frustration," says Dr. DiMaggio. Ultimately, these injuries prevent people from living their fullest lives. Touch Stone Rehabilitation & Health Center wants to help people get back in the game by offering sports injury rehabilitation that addresses not only the injuries, but also the underlying causes of the injuries.
Dr. DiMaggio believes that for many people, prevention is the best cure. He and his staff work to educate patients on the causes of sports injuries and how to prevent them in order to avoid unnecessary pain and time on the sidelines in the future.
The treatment focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying cause of the pain in order to provide lasting pain relief, making this a better choice for many athletes, hobbyists, and enthusiasts. "Chiropractic treatment for sports injuries offers a much better, and long-term, solution than simply masking the symptom of the problem, the pain, while allowing the actual injury to go untreated, which can lead to additional damage or even chronic pain," says Dr. DiMaggio.
Failing to get chiropractic treatment in the aftermath of a sports injury can actually hinder recovery for many people who may have underlying misalignments. Treatments for sports injuries, including sprains, strains, and pulled muscles may include several options such as physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy treatments, strengthening exercises, cold laser therapy and education.
