FAQ Related to Sports Medicine and Sports Injury Treatment

If you play a lot of sports, chances are you will suffer an injury at some time or another. Sports injuries can be very painful, to say the least. Fortunately, there are natural ways to alleviate pain from a sports injury and speed up your recovery. At Front Range Sports Medicine in Castle Rock, we incorporate safe, non-invasive techniques into our sports injury treatment program to help your body heal naturally. The following FAQ can give you a better understanding of sports injuries and treatments.

What are the most common sports injuries?

Sports injuries can be divided into two groups: acute injuries and repetitive motion injuries. Most sports injuries fall into the latter category. These include golfer/tennis elbow, shoulder injuries, shin splints, runner’s knee, and some lower back injuries.

What are the symptoms of a sports injury?

Sports injuries can cause sudden muscle or joint pain, inflammation, and loss of mobility. If you continue with your sports play, your pain may increase due to muscle overuse and abuse.  Pain is a signal that something’s wrong. If you don’t listen to that signal, that “something” will only get worse. Your best recourse is to contact a Castle Rock sports chiropractor to diagnose the problem and recommend treatment.

How can I avoid sports injuries?

People who are in poor shape when they start playing sports are more likely to suffer from a sports injury. If you want to play sports, take some time to get in shape. Cardio, weight lifting and stretching exercises can help strengthen muscles and build stamina. Always warm up before doing an exercise program or playing a game.

How can a chiropractor help my sports injury?

At Front Range Sports Medicine in Castle Rock, we offer a holistic approach to sports injury treatment. Chiropractic techniques are designed to help the body heal naturally, without resorting to surgery or prescription drugs for pain relief. Chiropractic therapies not only treat your symptoms, but they also treat the cause of the pain so you can fully recover from your injury.

What techniques and therapies work on sports injuries?

Chiropractic treatment may vary from one person to the next, depending on the cause and extent of a person’s injury. Your Castle Rock sports chiropractor may recommend manual procedures and manipulation to restore proper function in your spine or joints so that your muscles move correctly and freely without pain. Physical therapy exercises can strengthen muscles and restore flexibility and mobility. Massage therapy can help relax tense muscles and improve circulation so your body can heal.
