At Active Life Team Chiropractic, we have helped many people who have had a sports injury, including those with a sprain or strain. Although they have different causes and affected areas, we can treat both. Our goal is to help them get back to where they were before they were hurt.
Here are some ways that we can achieve that:
Spinal Manipulations
This is excellent injury treatment. Our chiropractor will make changes so that your spine is better aligned and that will help the healing process, since your nervous system will be more in sync. Your body will feel much better after one of these, and regular manipulations can be very beneficial.
Ankle Adjustments
While you can sprain a knee or another part of your body, most of the sprains tend to be around the ankle. Your chiropractor can also make ankle adjustments just like they can make adjustments to other body parts. This can also ease pain, which makes the healing process even easier and can keep you from becoming reliant on painkillers to manage any discomfort.
Massage Therapy
We use our hands for more than just moving parts of your body around. We can also do expert massage to target the areas where you had the muscle strain or sprains.
Another key thing to do is to strengthen the area where you are hurt. We can show you how to do that.
You can couple our chiropractic treatments with rest when you are at home. That will also play a big part in the healing process. You can put ice on it when you first get hurt so that it will keep any swelling down.
A sprain or strain can be a very sudden change to your life. One minute, you are walking or running around feeling healthy. Then, at the very next minute, you are hobbling around and finding that even the most mundane task can be difficult or impossible. Don't stress out, though. Go get medical care and then find a chiropractor. Then you will be well on the road to feeling well again.
