Overcome Sports-Related Injuries

Chiropractic for Athletes

There are often stories about professional athletes suffering traumatic injuries that may end their careers. However, the risks of injury while participating in a sport do not only apply to professional athletes but also pertains to amateur athletes and those with active lifestyles. Sports-related injuries can be debilitating and hinder your performance. Discover how to prevent injury with chiropractic for sports injuries.

How Do Sports-Related Injuries Occur?

Although physical activity and sports can keep you healthy, they also carry risks. Injury is typically caused by excessive/inappropriate training or unsafe equipment. However, structural or muscular imbalances/weakness can also interfere with the body's normal functioning, resulting in injuries to ankles, knees, elbows, shoulders, and spines. The most common sports injury is caused by a traumatic force applied to a joint in motion, causing hyperextension or hyperflexion. Sports-related injuries can be prevented and managed by chiropractors, as they are experts in muscles, ligaments, and nerves.

How to Prevent Injury

Preventing injuries can be done by warming up five-ten minutes before your workout. You can warm up by stretching or doing dynamic movements to prepare your body for physical activity. While working out, you should make sure you are exercising correctly and varying your workouts to increase strength and flexibility. Also, incorporate a daily stretching routine to keep you limber and less susceptible to injury.

Chiropractic for Sports Injuries

Chiropractors can determine the underlying issues that are causing pain and dysfunction through a comprehensive physical examination and recommend a treatment plan that can address these issues. Chiropractors provide holistic care geared toward restoring function, improving healing, and reducing pain by addressing the underlying causes. For example, a chiropractor might provide joint manipulation and mobilization, soft tissue therapies, adjunct therapies, rehabilitation, and lifestyle advice.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
