Chiropractic addresses the function of central nervous system which is the “master system” of the body controlling ad regulating function of all other subsystems including musculoskeletal system. Properly aligned skeletal system would improve performance, reduce the risk of injury and improve healing of existing injuries.

Chiropractors specialize in the non-drug treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including joint sprains and disc injuries. To some extent, the chiropractic approach to sports injuries is similar to that of traditional medical care.

Usually chiropractor’s initial examination would include standard orthopaedic and neurological tests to diagnose whether a particular pain is due to a strain, sprain, or disc problem. X-ray examination is also performed to screen for fractures and other bone disorders, such as osteoporosis.

Chiropractic management of sports injuries often includes widely used physical therapies such as ice, Cold laser therapy to reduce swelling and inflammation, or electronic muscle stimulation for muscle strains and spasms. 

Importance, of Restoring Structural Body Balance.

Chiropractic management of sport injuries has an emphasis on adjustment and improving function of spinal and other joints through manipulation as well as restoring overall structural balance of the body.

Chiropractic adjustments help to restore the natural balance that was present before the injury.

Sports injuries are possibly the most common reasons for visiting a chiropractor. Chiropractors Coventry see a lot of sports injuries- the majority can be treated by a chiropractor without the need for major surgery, although it may take more than one session to treat the problem.
Two of the most common sports injuries and their treatments and causes are outlined below.

Tennis Elbow

Although this injury is mostly experienced by tennis players (hence the name), a lot of non-tennis players can also suffer from it. Tennis elbow commonly occurs when there is repeated extension or overuse of the wrist against resistance- such as hitting a tennis ball with a racquet.
There are a few ways of treating tennis elbow without resorting to surgery.

•    An ice pack on the joint for around 15 minutes can help, especially if it is applied several times a day.
•    Coventry chiropractors can treat the injury with cold laser therapy- the laser light calms down the inflammation and promotes healing in the tissue.
•    Although some sports injuries require mobility as soon as possible to ensure that the joint doesn’t seize up, rest is required to treat tennis elbow. A brace or support of some kind can also be useful.

It is obviously important that the chiropractor diagnoses the injury correctly. They can also give advice on painkillers and any factors which may lead to the onset of tennis elbow in the future.

Achilles Tendonitis

The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone; around 13% f running injuries are cause by Achilles tendonitis.
Achilles tendonitis is another sports injury that can be treated by a chiropractor with cold laser therapy. Laser light reduces swelling which in turn leads to decreased pain and a faster return to normal joint and muscle function.
As a temporary measure, a heel pad will raise the heel and take the strain off the Achilles tendon.

Chiropractors Coventry also advise rest while the tendon is healing- the worst thing you could do would be to make a rapid return to sport.
