Pain, Stiffness, and Other Sports Injury Issues

Sports injuries are a fact of life for just about anyone who tests the limits of his/her physical strength or flexibility on a regular basis. The same exertion that wins competitions and sets records also places the human body under tremendous stress. If anything about your technique is off, the stresses become even worse -- and spinal misalignment can definitely be a contributing factor. Unequal weight distribution on weight-bearing joints can play a role in such common sports injuries as runner's knee, plantar fasciitis, low back, and ankle strains or sprains. Constant overuse of any part of the body can cause your joints to ache every time you flex them. Examples of overuse injuries include:

  • Golfer's elbow
  • Tennis elbow
  • Shoulder, knee or hip bursitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

Acute injuries are another all-too-common problem for athletes. A violent impact, for example, can herniate discs in your back, tear muscles and connective tissues in joints, knock your spine out of alignment, or leave you with the dreaded neck injury known as whiplash.

Chiropractic Adjustment and Other Forms of Conservative Treatment

Bring that nagging ache or pain to Reinarts Family Chiropractic. Our Franklin chiropractor, Dr. Reinarts, can discuss your sport of choice and how it relates to your current symptoms while also performing a detailed examination of your musculoskeletal system. If you need immediate treatment for an acute injury, we will administer conservative techniques then and there to help relieve your pain.

Your sports injury treatment regimen may include various healing modalities, all of them safe and non-invasive in nature. Chiropractic adjustment not only helps to restore pain-free motion in joints; it can also straighten out your entire kinetic chain, balancing your body so it will be less vulnerable to future injury. Massage therapy can ease pain, swelling, and inflammation of soft tissues while also optimizing blood flow for speedier healing. We can then prescribe physical therapy techniques to help you make a quick, complete recovery.
