Why You Should See a Chiropractor for Sports Injuries

 

Sports injuries can be very frustrating. They're painful, plus they harm athletes' sports performance and participation, often when they're needed the most. When looking to make a speedy recovery, it's vital that athletes use all available resources. This includes our favorite, chiropractors! At Dr. Jay McClanahan's Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Nitro, WV, we offer a host of services designed to take sports injury rehabilitation to the next level. Dr. McClanahan is extensively trained in the treatment of sports injuries.

How Chiropractors Help Rehabilitate Sports Injuries

Chiropractors are an excellent and skillful resource for treating many types of injuries, since they offer expertise and equipment developed especially for the task. Chiropractors treat patients in a natural and holistic way that takes into account all of the body's integrated systems. In Nitro, WV, Dr. McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic and Wellness Center educates patients on the specifics of their injuries so they know how to make the necessary adjustments to ensure that they get better and stay better. By taking the proper preventative measures, many sports injuries can be avoided completely.

Outside of education, we also offer many services designed to restore and enhance musculoskeletal function and health. For example, we offer massage therapy in order to promote healing and blood flow in our patients. Some other services we offer sports injury patients include: 

  • Spinal and Extremity Adjustment: This process enhances posture and biomechanical efficiency.
  • Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): EMS has been known to promote healing, reduce workout recovery time, reduce muscle spasms, and more.
  • Therapeutic Exercise: Dr. McClanahan provides targeted exercise routines designed to build or rebuild muscle, stability, and strength.

Our team helps patients narrow down our many different options and choose the best course of treatment for them. We believe that a treatment plan tailored to the unique patient's goals and needs yields the best results.
