More athletes are turning to chiropractors now than ever. Medical doctors tend to treat a sports injury by alleviating symptoms with medication and recommending rest from activity. Even professional athletes with incredibly healthy bodies have relied too much on medicine to heal. At Dr. Jay McClanahan’s chiropractic practice, our approach to rehabilitating sports injuries takes the rest of the body and its natural ability to heal itself into account. This always results in less time ‘benched’ from activity and a quicker recovery.
You don’t need to be a professional athlete to rehabilitate a sports injury the right way. If you or your family members are involved in sports, a chiropractor can help you too. Rather than prescription medication and rest from activity, a chiropractor will focus on repairing any damage to hard and soft tissue with chiropractic adjustments to the spine and extremities. If you are in pain from an injury, of course your chiropractor will advise the best pain relief strategy for you. However your only prescription will likely include physical therapy exercises for you to perform on your own.
