Young Athletes, Injuries and Chiropractic Care

It is incredibly important that we are able to support the healing and growth of the younger generations. We tend to automatically assume because they are young that they don’t require as much support when it comes to injuries and recovery. However, that couldn’t be more wrong.

Specifically, we can support young athletes and prevent them from actually getting injured. Now, we know that sounds kind of unbelievable but with chiropractic care we can support the joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. With this support we can strengthen them and that in itself can prevent injury before it even happens!

Chiropractors are trained to help prevent and heal injury, and anyone from 0 to 99+ can benefit from seeing a chiropractor consistently.

There are many famous sports personalities that talk about the benefits of seeing a chiropractor. From the likes of Tiger Wood, Tom Brady, Venus Williams and a lot of Premier League teams have their own chiropractors that work specifically with the team of players.

Why do young athletes need to see a chiropractor?

As sporting young people grow, they risk the chance of injury and misalignment. All it takes is one tackle, stretching too far, landing on a funny angle, or overexerting themselves when training, to become injured.

It is as easy to prevent injuries as it is to be injured. By that we mean, injury can be prevented in athletes when they receive the right care prior. By having their bodies supported, muscles strengthened, and spine aligned, we can prevent that funny landing becoming a sprain, or that overexerted stretch becoming a torn muscle.

All it takes is one injury during someone’s youth to cause them problematic and recurring pain throughout adulthood. Chiropractic care can help heal and repair damage. Using multiple different treatments, there are options that suit each person’s needs.

What if I already have injuries?

Chiropractic care encourages healing and repair as well as strengthening. Depending on the problem depends on the treatment, whether that consists of stretches and adjustments, or shockwave, or even massage to relax the pained area. There are treatments within each that encourage the body to start that healing process.

Everyone responds differently to treatments, and we keep that in mind. Each treatment is specific to you, we tailor it to your needs and your recovery. We find the root of your pain, whether it is an injury caused by sports or something deeper.
