Preventing Sports Injuries

It is said that accidents happen. The reality is, for those involved in sports, there are steps you can take to prevent and minimize sports injuries. There are treatments you can receive from our chiropractor in Beverly Hills to better prepare you for peak athletic performance. If you do incur an injury, the Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group offers sports injury therapy that can get you back in the game quicker.

Stretch Before Activity

Preventing many sports injuries can be done by properly stretching muscles prior to engaging in athletic activity. It is particularly important to stretch the muscles that will be most active in the sport you are participating in. If you want to know the importance of stretching, go to any pro or college football game, baseball game, or marathon race. You will see virtually all the athletes engaged in stretching prior to participation.

Cool Down Following Sports Activity

Simply ceasing sports activity is like slamming on the brakes of your car. It can be a bit of a shock to the body. Allow the body to gradually cool down before moving on to other day-to-day activities.

Supply Proper Nutrition and Hydration

Food is fuel and will greatly impact your athletic performance and your body's ability to resist injury. Your Beverly Hills chiropractor at the Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group can help you with nutritional advice.

You should not underestimate the importance of keeping fluids in your body when participating in sports. Fluids help keep the muscles and tendons flexible. Lack of fluids can also cause cramping, which can lead to injuries.

How Our Chiropractor in Beverly Hills Can Help

Chiropractic care, including regular adjustments, can help keep your neuromuscular system in balance. They can help keep you flexible and prepared for activity. If a sports injury does occur, our sports injury therapy can help improve blood flow to promote healing.
