Ligament Injuries

Chiropractic Care Can Help You Heal From Ligament Injuries

Ligaments are bands of connective tissue that connects one bone to another. They also hold cartilages and joints together. Ligaments are incredibly strong and flexible and enable your joints to move as freely as possible. Ligament injuries often occur during slip and fall accidents, when overextending a joint, or from performing athletic activities. At Back On Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Birmingham, you have access to a range of treatment options that will allow your body to heal as naturally as possible.

Signs and Symptoms 

Symptoms of a ligament injury are intense pain, inflammation that can appear almost immediately after the injury, extreme tenderness, inability to put weight on the joint, reduced mobility, and joint looseness. The pain can subside while resting, but any movement can cause severe pain. Scar tissue can develop if the injured site is left unaddressed. Overexerting your injury can result in further damage, long-term pain, and a longer delay in healing. Treating these symptoms right away with chiropractic care can assist with the healing responses in the body as well as prevent them from returning.

Treatment Options

When it comes to ligament injuries, chiropractic care involves strengthening the area around the injury and stimulating the body's healing processes. A ligament does not receive an excessive amount of blood flow like other soft tissues. Due to the slower influx of nutrients and oxygen, ligaments can take anywhere from six to twelve weeks to heal, depending on the severity of the injury. Repeatedly stressing the injured area through overuse can extend your healing time. Adjustments, corrective exercises, and massage therapy can decrease pain, improve range of motion and nerve and muscle function, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the muscles and ligaments.
