More Detail About Care of Sports Injury

1: Improve Proprioception

It has been demonstrated that chiropractic can improve an individuals proprioception. Proprioception is the body’s ability to perceive the position the body is in and give the brain correct positional awareness.  We can assess your shoulder, elbows, Hips, knees and feet, and NOT just your Back! We commonly assess conditions such as Running injuries, Tennis Elbow, and muscular strains.  Can you think of any sports where you could benefit from improved reaction times and better balance?

2: Increase Muscle Strength

An increasing number of research studies have now shown that chiropractic and osteopathic care can alter and improve muscle function in the general population.

 3: Effectiveness

Recent studies show that spinal manipulative therapy carried out by a chiropractor, along with exercise, help individuals relieve neck pain and chronic back pain more effectively than medication.

4: Functional Postural Assessment

One hugely important area to assess is foot and ankle function.  The most common mechanical foot issue, that can have an affect the entire body, is overpronation. This can be either a rear foot or forefoot issue. By placing a foot orthotic under someone we can effect function in the ankle, knee, hip and spine.  Not only can this decrease pain but will improve biomechanics and athletic function.

5: Neurolink (Neurological Integration)

Neurolink or the Neurological Integration System (NIS) as it is also known, bases it’s treatment methods on the principle that the brain governs function of all the body’s systems through it’s neurological circuitry.
