Injuries are potential risks that can happen while playing sports or exercising. If you've sustained an injury and reside in Pleasanton, CA, or the surrounding areas, Dr. Godwin Sammut at Lifetime Wellness Holistic Health Center provides chiropractic treatments tailored for sports injuries and guidance on preventing future injuries.
Sports Injuries & Chiropractic Care
Have you sustained an injury while playing a favorite sport or while spending time in the backyard with your children? This can happen due to –
- Weakness and inflexibility from lack of use.
- A biomechanical defect creating a muscle imbalance.
- Overuse.
- Improper conditioning/training routines, and more.
If they don’t know what they’re dealing with, an injured athlete may continue to play when they may be taking on needless and dangerous risks, since an injured body is prone to additional trauma. In addition, an unhealed injury will not allow you to play at an optimal level.
While over-the-counter anti-inflammatories or pain relievers may help, often, they are temporary, and these well-intended efforts only mask the pain. Even worse, the meds never address the sports injury, and because the meds alleviate discomfort, you may create a false perception that it is okay to play before you have fully recovered.
