Common Sport Injuries and Chiropractic Care

Are you dealing with a sports injury? Looking for treatment options?

When you live an active lifestyle, there’s nothing more frustrating than being sidelined by an injury. Although rest and relaxation may be necessary to recover, there’s more you can do. Finding chiropractic care can have you healing faster and coming away from your injury as strong as possible!

Here are a few common sports injuries that a chiropractor can help you with. 

• Joint pain: from elbows, to hips, to shoulders, sports and other activities can put a lot of strain on your joints. A chiropractor can gently realign joints to reduce swelling, decrease pain, and even increase range of motion. 
• Pulled muscles: often the result of overuse or inadequate stretching, a pulled muscle is painful and can stop you in your tracks. A chiropractor will adjust soft tissues in the affected area to increase blood flow and reduce pain. 
• Neck and back pain: this is what chiropractors are really known for! Pains in your neck and back can often be eased by a spinal adjustment. The small mechanical activator is a great option to gently align vertebrae and other tissue.
• Sprains and tears: though these acute injuries may require more care, a chiropractor can assist healing with stretches, joint mobilization, and gentle exercises. 
• Sciatica: symptoms of this injury include pain, numbness, and weakness in the leg caused by compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. The chiropractic approach to care here involves decompressing the spine and realigning it.

How Can a Chiropractor Help You with Headaches?

Are your headaches debilitating?

Can’t seem to find any relief?

Chiropractic adjustments could be the answer!

Unlike over-the-counter pain medication that only dulls the pain temporarily, chiropractic adjustments address the root of your headache problem. Receiving a neck adjustment in Ann Arbor can help align the vertebrae and relieve any stress or pressure.

After making adjustments, Dr. Thatcher can evaluate what is most likely causing your misalignments and offer solutions. There are multiple neck exercises, such as the scalene stretch and “Ball on the Wall” exercise that can help you strengthen your neck and upper back muscles, as well as fix your posture. Dr. Thatcher can even recommend the best pillows for your sleeping position and demonstrate how to use a neck brace. You can find all these videos on our exercises page.

What’s Causing Your Headaches?

Does a headache ruin your entire day?

Do you carry pain medication just in case one begins?

While headaches are common, frequent or severe headaches aren’t normal. If you have frequent headaches, they may be due to a misalignment in your spine, specifically the vertebrae in your upper back or neck.

Your spine interacts directly with your nervous system, so when your spine is out of alignment, it can put stress on your nerves, causing pain. If the misalignment is in the neck, the pain can manifest as headaches. These types of headaches are usually called tension headaches and often start at the upper back or neck and travel upwards. 

What could be causing your misalignments?

• Poor posture
• Poor sleeping position
• Hunching over a desk or your phone
• Stress
• Weak upper back and neck muscles
