Causes and Symptoms
Whether from overuse, a collision, or misstep, sports injuries can sideline an athlete, and keep them out of the game longer than necessary. When bones and joints become misaligned during a sports injury, it creates added stress on the body. Such stress can affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and result in pain, discomfort, a decrease in performance, and long-term problems if not tended to.
Sports injury symptoms can include:
- Swelling
- Burning, dull pain
- Headaches
- Muscle Pains
- Inflammation
- Muscle Spasms
Treatments
For sports related injuries, chiropractic care is a proven medical treatment used to restore joint function, resolve joint inflammation, reduce pain, and reestablish mobility.
