How A Lakeland FL Chiropractor Helps Alleviate Sports Injury Pain Naturally

By Malinda Klosterman


For athletes, sports are often an all-consuming passion. That passion can come at a high cost, however, as most athletes experience various levels of pain at one time or another, while some suffer from more serious pain caused by injury. When athletes need to recover from these setbacks, a Lakeland FL chiropractor can be an invaluable asset.

When most people think of sports injuries, they often think about games like football or hockey. The fact is, however, that even less violent and slower moving sports like tennis, basketball, and baseball often result in injury. The truth is that athletes can suffer stress pain from virtually any sport they play.

Granted, medical science has made tremendous leaps in its ability to help these injured athletes recover. That often does little to address chronic pain that results from many injuries, however. Doctors have few answers for athletes whose recoveries are slowed by lingering aches and discomfort.

Chiropractic care can help by addressing pain's root causes. Beyond the specific injuries involved, pain is often increased by body misalignment and distressed muscles and nerves. Chiropractors have therapies designed to resolve those issues by focusing on factors other than the specific injuries involved.

Spinal alignment is a top priority at most chiropractic sessions. Manual manipulation of the spine restores alignment, while tight muscles are addressed through massage and direct manipulation of tissue. Together, these techniques alleviate bone and muscle stress that impacts the nerves that often cause pain and prevent full recovery.

Though athletes enjoy rapid healing from sports-related injuries these days, sports medicine has yet to resolve many of the most common chronic pain issues faced by those who participate in sporting events. That fact is why so many athletes now rely on chiropractors to provide them with the assistance they need to enjoy pain-free lives.
