Over-Use and Sports Injuries

We make the task of finding excellent care easy. At Lacroix Family Chiropractic we take our time to explain and educate you about your body, making it easy to relax knowing that your health is in the right hands. We will never treat or do anything unless we have your permission. We work hard to make sure you are comfortable and understand your treatment plan. We respect your time and your body's individuality. Our team takes their time to make a treatment plan to fit your chiropractic and acupuncture goals. Whether your goals are to get out of pain or to achieve maximum wellness, we can help get you there.

Chiropractic works by treating the root cause of your problem, not the symptom. Removing stress from the nervous system by realigning your spine, can increase your body's function.

• Peripheral Neuropathy

• Sciatica

Whether you are a professional athlete, or just enjoy taking part in your spare time, injuries are very much a common occurrence. Pulls, sprains, and strains occur regularly, and while many heal quickly without the need for professional intervention, other injuries may take weeks or even months away from your sport while you heal.

Fortunately, there are steps that you can take to increase the rate at which your injury will heal and reduce any pain or side effects that you experience during the process. In addition to hot/cold therapies, sports massage, and oral pain medications, you should consider making an appointment for a consultation with a chiropractor.

Common types of sports injury treated by chiropractors

Although professional and regular sports players are less likely to suffer from injury than someone who plays intermittently, they do still occur. All of our bodies are prone to the same types of injuries, many of which can create a range of side effects, from discomfort and pain to swelling, limited mobility and an interruption to the ability to perform day to day tasks.

In some instances, it may be an underlying problem that causes the injury, such as joint or spine issues. These often occur gradually and without symptoms, until one day, when the underlying problem causes something noticeable to develop.

Some of the most common sports injuries treated by chiropractors include:

• Achilles tendon problems

• Calf and hamstring pulls

• Golfer’s elbow

• Groin strain

• Lower back pain

• Neck pain

• Shoulder pain (rotator cuff injuries)

• Thigh injuries
