Professional and Recreational Athletes Can Suffer Sports Injury


Both professional and recreational athletes can get injured. The professional athlete usually participates in strenuous, high impact sports that cause damage and injury to the body. The recreational athlete is described as anyone who enjoys leisurely runs or personal exercises and may participate in club sports or school facilitated physical activity.

Causes of athletic injuries vary. Many times the injury is caused because the athlete plays too hard or too long resulting in undue stress to the body. Sometimes simple recreational activities such as lifting boxes or gym workouts place too much stress on the body and result in unexpected injuries. The underlying causes of traumas occurring during physical activity are often due to improperly warming up before engaging in those strenuous physical activities.

Regardless of which type of athlete you are unintended injuries can occur without warning causing you considerable pain and disability. Unintended injuries can occur no matter how simple or relaxed the physical activity. An important determining factor in the speed of recovery after any injury is how it is attended to in the recovery phase of treatment.

Spinal Manipulations by a Chiropractor Can Relieve Many Sports Injury Symptoms

After a sports injury rest is often recommended. However, rest as the sole recovery method is not as effective as combining it with chiropractic treatment thereby saving time and unnecessary suffering. Through chiropractic adjustments spinal segments are returned to normal motion while supportive tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments that may have also been injured return to normal function. Sports chiropractic treatment helps athletes recover. Fast.
