Redondo Beach CA Chiropractor Helps Athletes Recover From Sports Injury Pain Resulting From Competitive Games

By Andreas Paschar


Exercise is good for the human body and being a player on a football or wrestling team is one good way to reap the benefits. The risks of football in young boys are becoming more and more well known. For athletes of all ages there is a Redondo Beach Chiropractor who can help alleviate the hurting inflicted during their participation including neck and back injuries.

Estimations are that one fifth of the injuries resulting from playing sports hurt the neck or lumbar region of the back. The small, hollow bones that comprise the spine can be misaligned. A third of all football players in high school undergo an injury of some kind.

Bicycle riding makes one prone to back injury. Golf injuries are most frequently strains and sprains. Jogging or long-distance running can compress the vertebrae and jar the entire body in general.

In general, swimming is not dangerous. However, when competitive swimming is your sport, the lumbar region of the back can be affected. The familiar injury called tennis elbow is the result of a torn tendon.

When a high school football player or anyone else visits a chiropractor for pain relief, a full assessment of the injury is done first. Often an exam, an x-ray and range-of-motion testing confirm the condition. After an evaluation is done, a plan is made for care.

In case of a back injury spinal adjustments are successful at reducing the pain. The chiropractor will set up a schedule to administer them over time. A mild exercise program to be followed at home between appointments is designed to suit the needs of each individual. Massage may be used also.

The goal is to alleviate the pain you are feeling. The secondary goal is to allow for a return to work as soon as possible. Recovery proceeds at a different speed for each person. Age, severity of the injury and your health status will all contribute to the rate of your improvement and the lessening of your pain.
