Injury Treatment

Chiropractic care is not always the first thought when a patient experiences pain or injuries. The experts at Gateway Chiropractic can provide relief and healing for pain and dysfunction due to trauma, usually without the use of narcotics.

Regular chiropractic treatment is some of the best preventative measures that an athlete can obtain. Chiropractic adjustments make the body less prone to injuries by allowing the body to function better. Correct alignment of the skeletal structures and joints allow bones and muscles to work better, giving better control of motor functions.

Most painful injuries come from contact sports, but it is not uncommon to begin experiencing pain just from standing up or walking across the floor. Sports injuries are usually due to inadequate warm-up, overtraining, repetitive movements, and hard bodily impacts. Understanding the source of the pain is the first step in successfully treating it.

Chiropractic treatment after an injury is designed to restore and enhance proper joint functions while reducing pain and resolving inflammation. Treatment should be sought as soon as possible after an injury has occurred for optimal results. In most cases, realigning the muscles and tendons will provide better movement and pain relief, although more than one appointment will probably be needed for total recovery from an injury.
