BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Sept. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many athletes use chiropractic care as a natural way to address sports injuries and reduce recovery time, reports Premier Family Chiropractic. Injuries can occur while individuals play any type of sport and chiropractic treatment addresses the issue at its source and prevents future injuries. Amateur and professional athletes have found that chiropractic manipulations and advanced techniques in physiotherapy and massage promote the body’s healing process and help achieve optimal rehabilitation results from injuries including whiplash, back injuries and joint problems. Spinal column alignment also offers the benefit of decreased pain without medication.
Professional and amateur athletes looking to continue to enjoy a sports activity or prolong a professional career in sports are using non-invasive chiropractic care to prevent and treat sports injuries. From childhood on, individuals can excel at T-ball, track and field, football and more. However, an athletic injury can sideline participants from the game and prevent them from engaging in routine tasks during their recovery.
Common athletic injuries include whiplash, shoulder pain, back injuries, knee pain, joint problems, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow. Whether an injury occurs from a forceful collision, as in football, or from repetitive stress and overuse as in running or tennis, chiropractic has been shown to benefit athletes and shorten recovery times. Both nine-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt and Super Bowl XLV MVP winner, Aaron Rodgers, use chiropractic treatments to ensure that they are in top physical shape for sports activities. After an initial exam, a personalized treatment and rehabilitation program can include spinal column alignment, techniques to reduce herniated disc pressure, physiotherapy, massage therapy, natural vitamins and mineral supplements to speed recovery and improve an athlete’s range of motion and flexibility.
“Chiropractic care can help athletes prevent injury, improve range of motion, treat sports injuries and reduce pain naturally,” said Dr. Quinn W. Uzelman. “As an experienced chiropractor, I use manual adjustments and specialized techniques to treat sports injuries in patients and rebalance their bodies. In addition, corrective exercises can strengthen weak areas and improve performance. As a sports enthusiast myself, I know and appreciate the value of sports. I want to get patients back into optimal condition to enjoy their favorite sports activity and prevent future injuries.”
