Manuel Chiropractic Treatment For Sports Injuries

The goal of manual (manipulative) treatment, performed by hand, is to manipulate the muscles and joints to relieve pain and stress. These therapies help restore full ranges of motion to your muscles and joints. Depending on your diagnosis, one or more of these treatments may be incorporated into your personalized treatment plan.

Inferential Electrical Stimulation

It uses a low-frequency electrical current to stimulate the muscles of the neck, helping to relieve pain and promote healing. This therapy can reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance mobility, providing effective relief from discomfort caused by injury or strain.

Ultrasound

It sends sound waves into your muscles, helping to reduce discomfort and stiffness. This therapy, known as ultrasound therapy, promotes healing by increasing blood flow, relaxing muscles, and alleviating pain, making it an effective treatment for soft tissue injuries.

Trigger Point Therapy

It targets specific sore spots on tense, inflamed muscles, providing focused relief. This therapy, often referred to as trigger point therapy, helps reduce muscle pain and tension by applying pressure to the affected areas, promoting relaxation and improving circulation for faster recovery.

Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Therapy

It uses specialized stainless steel devices to identify and relieve muscle tightness. This technique, known as myofascial release or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), helps break down adhesions and scar tissue, improving mobility, reducing pain, and promoting muscle healing.

Manual Joint Stretching And Resistance Techniques

It helps relieve tension in the neck (and other areas) by using targeted techniques to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. This treatment can provide relief from pain, stiffness, and discomfort, promoting better mobility and overall muscle function.

Therapeutic Massages

It alleviates pain by relaxing tensed or strained muscles, helping to reduce discomfort and improve flexibility. This treatment eases muscle tightness, promotes circulation, and accelerates the healing process, offering relief from both acute and chronic muscle pain.
