How You Birmingham Chiropractor Can Keep You Safe

Chiropractic adjustments to heal sports injuries begin with a comprehensive exam to determine the extent of damage. Next, we work to bring down inflammation and initiate your body's natural healing system. We can greatly reduce your pain without using drugs by making gentle adjustments to the muscles, bones, and ligaments around the injury.  

Once the inflammation and pain decrease, we work to heal the injury, prevent scar tissue from forming, and open up your range of motion. We will also strengthen and stretch the affected muscle, which helps reduce the risk of injury going forward. 

When you are healed, we will work with you to keep your body in tune and help prevent future sports injury while maintaining your activity level. When your joints, ligaments, and soft tissue are in alignment, the body can move better and with less injury risk. 

If you are looking for a solution to sports injury that does not involve using pain medication, we can help. 

Sports Injuries That Benefit From Chiropractic Care

There are many sports injuries that benefit from chiropractic care. Better still, these injuries do not have to be new to heal during our adjustment process. If decade-old injuries have restricted your range of motion, we can break down the scar tissue and realign bones and ligaments so that you enjoy reduced inflammation and freer movement.
