Unfortunately, injuries are part and parcel of sports, and it is impossible to avoid them entirely. This is why it is crucial to know who to turn to for sports injury treatment. Working with a chiropractor will hasten your recovery while also minimizing your chances of being injured again in the future. At Duben Holistic Chiropractic Center in Westlake Village, CA, many of our patients visit us for the first time looking for sports injury treatment. Following are the answers to several questions our chiropractor frequently receives regarding sports injury treatment.

What Are Some Common Sports Injuries?

Most sports injuries occur due to collision, overexertion, and failure to properly warm up. Sports injuries lead to pain and immobility, preventing you from participating in the sports you love. Common sports injuries include:

• Shin splints
• Sprains and strains
• Whiplash
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Runner’s knee
• Golf’s elbow
• Frozen shoulder

Can I Treat a Sports Injury at Home?

You can ice, rest and compress your injury to reduce your pain if your injury is minor. However, you should seek chiropractic care for the best results. Our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine the type, location, and severity of your injury before creating a chiropractic care plan to address it.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat Sports Injuries?

To diagnose your injury, our chiropractor will perform a physical examination and inquire about your medical history. Our chiropractor may use x-rays to confirm the diagnosis. After the source of your pain and immobility has been determined, treatment will begin. Chiropractic adjustments will restore your body’s natural alignment, relieving your pain and restoring your mobility. Massage therapy is effective for soft-tissue injuries, while spinal decompression can effectively treat disc injuries.
