Any sports injury can be painful, but the injury should not keep you sidelined. We at Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group in Beverly Hills, CA, can help get you back in the game. In addition to providing expert chiropractic care, our staff can grant you some peace of mind too. To alleviate help with some of your questions, here are some common questions about sports injuries.
What causes a sports injury?
A sports injury can result from a variety of causes. Poor technique, improper stretching, or overuse can cause chronic issues in muscles or tendons. Acute injuries are triggered by a specific event, like a hit or fall. This most often occurs in bones, joints, or ligaments.
What can I do at home to treat an injury?
Some less severe injuries don't require special attention but getting help from a chiropractor from our practice never hurts. Sometimes, at home methods are good enough such as resting, stretching, and using ice packs. If, however, inflammation or pain continues, consult a chiropractor from our practice.
What treatment can a chiropractor provide?
Multiple treatment options are available. A chiropractic adjustment is commonly used to realign the musculoskeletal structure. This improves flexibility and range of motion. Physical therapy or a deep tissue massage may also be recommended. We also have exercises that you can do at home to aid in the process.
What can I do to prevent a sports injury?
Stretch and warm-up before beginning any exercise or sporting event. Progress slowly and avoid rapid increases in activity level. This decreases the likelihood of pulls, tears, and strains. Most importantly, wear proper protective gear and use good posture.
