Chiropractic manipulation can be a valuable tool for the prevention and treatment of sports injuries. Ensuring that the body’s musculoskeletal system is in proper balance and alignment can prevent injuries. Once an injury has taken place, chiropractic evaluation and treatment has the potential to reduce healing time, prevent recurrent or chronic injuries, and help athletes reach their fullest potential.

A doctor of chiropractic has the necessary clinical training in musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment to relieve the strain of the tissues, increase circulation to the area, and correct mis-alignments of the musculoskeletal system. The prolonged use of muscles causes very small tears in them, that lead to overuse injuries. Chiropractic manipulation is able to help decrease the inflammation in the area and help balance the muscle and tissue strains in the area.
