Prevent and treat sports injuries with a visit to your local chiropractor
The primary goal of chiropractic medicine is to help the body perform optimally. When something is out of alignment or injured, however, it results in pain, loss of function, and more. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore function and facilitate faster healing without resorting to drugs or surgery. These are just some of the reasons why athletes of all types look to chiropractic care for optimum performance and treatment for various injuries.
Relieve Pain
Prevent Injuries
Reduce Inflammation
Faster Healing
Lower back pain can range from mildly annoying to completely debilitating. Wherever your pain lands on the scale, there are many reasons for sports injuries: not warming up properly, overuse and repetitive motion, or suffering an impact. At Flex Chiropractic in Lexington, we offer safe, non-invasive, and effective treatments to help your body heal faster. While spinal misalignment is a common cause for pain, there are many other alternative treatments we offer in addition to chiropractic adjustments. This allows us to custom-tailor a treatment plan for each of our customers based on their unique needs.
Spinal adjustments are often thought of as a way to relieve back pain. And, while this is true, they also can be used to help take the pressure off of injured areas. Through gentle spinal manipulations, a chiropractor can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and allow your body to function as intended.
Massage is another common treatment for pain relief. Massaging helps to loosen stiff muscles and increase blood flow to specific areas which is beneficial for effective healing. Not only can massage help alleviate pain, but it can also improve circulation, reduce swelling, and improve range of motion.
Kinesio tape, also known as K-tape, is a popular treatment method among performance athletes. It consists of strong, medical-grade tape that can be applied pretty much anywhere to help heal overuse injuries. It works by temporarily altering how muscles work and taking the stress off of those that have been overtaxed by strenuous exercise. This allows them to heal much faster.
Another common treatment for sports injuries and pain is electrical stimulation. It works by placing electrodes on the affected area so that mild pulses of electricity can penetrate through the skin and into the muscles. This helps to stimulate nerves in a way that relieves pain, increases circulation, reduces muscle spasms, and improves range of motion. It can be used alone, or in conjunction with other alternative therapies for optimum benefit.
If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to treat pain and heal faster from sports and other injuries, we invite you to try some of the chiropractic and other alternative therapies from Flex Chiropractic. Surgery and prescription drugs come with high risks to your health, but there’s a better way to help your body heal naturally. We can show you just how effective chiropractic care can be for pain relief, inflammation, and more. Contact our office in Lexington to schedule an appointment today.
