How an Austin Chiropractor Can Help Sports Injuries
Our chiropractor understands your body’s mechanics, how the muscles and joints work together, and what proper alignment is. We can use highly effective adjustments to realign your body, reducing pain and inflammation and rebuilding that proper alignment.
He takes an individualized approach to chiropractic care, beginning with a comprehensive evaluation of your injuries. He will not use drugs to mask your pain; instead we will heal your injuries from the root using techniques like chiropractic adjustments, stretching, and strengthening exercises.

Why See a Chiropractor for Sports Injuries
Many athletes become frustrated with traditional recovery from sports. Doctors typically give advice to rest, take it easy, ice and heat the injured area, and take pain medication to treat sprains and strains. For severe injuries, athletes may be advised to get physical therapy.
These treatments mask the pain until inflammation subsides, and use physical therapy to strengthen affected muscle tissue. But the underlying injury itself may not be treated properly with this care plan.
In contrast, our chiropractor diagnoses the root of the injury at the very first visit. Using his knowledge of the musculoskeletal system, we will realign the spine to take pressure off injured tissue and awaken the nervous system. This helps you heal faster. We will also address muscle and joint imbalances so your body functions optimally and your chances of injury in the future are reduced. If you are really ready to heal from a sports injury, we invite you to contact us today.
