Sports Injury Rehab for a Faster Recovery

In sports, nothing can put a cramp in your game like an injury. Following an injury, you may use ice or heat therapy to help with pain relief and inflammation, but you may need sports injury rehab to make a complete and thorough recovery. There are several types of injuries common to athletes, many of which can cause debilitating back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, joint pain and a limited range of motion. Examples include:

• Tennis Elbow - Tennis elbow occurs from hyperextension of the arm. It is common among tennis players, but may affect athletes in other sports as well.

• Strained Muscles - A muscle pull, sprain or strain can occur during any physical activity, but is especially common when athletes or physically active individuals over-train or fail to properly stretch prior to exercise.

• Rotator Cuff Injuries - Rotator cuff injuries are common among athletes who use their arms and shoulders excessively during activity. Examples include baseball players and swimmers.

Here at Executive ER, many of our patients are active individuals who are experiencing back pain, neck pain or other symptoms due to a sports injury. Our Beverly Hills chiropractor, Dr. Jacobsen, uses advanced chiropractic techniques combined with physical therapy to deliver fast, effective results. Our techniques are non-invasive and designed to relieve pain, address the injury and strengthen the body against future injuries.

We offer spinal decompression to elongate the spine, which alleviates back and neck pain. Our physical therapy techniques use customized motions and exercises to encourage healing, reduce inflammation and provide immediate pain relief. We can treat most types of sports injuries, including torn rotator cuffs, knee injuries, muscle strains and sprains, tennis elbow, joint injuries and even whiplash.
