Chiropractic Care Help Alleviate Back Pain, Neck Pain,
Headaches and Migraines

Sprains, strains and muscle tears are some of the most common sports injury, and they can result in a number of side effects. Back pain and neck pain can be the most obvious side effects, although certain types of injuries can also lead to recurring headaches and migraines. Alleviating pain is one of the aims of our treatments, and we do this by discerning the root cause behind the pain. Rather than masking pain with medication, the goal of chiropractic care is to correct the cause through all-natural and non-invasive treatments.

A common chiropractic technique effective for a sports injury and other musculoskeletal issues is a spinal adjustment. Adjustments restore the spine to its proper position and help to restore full mobility so the body can function and heal properly. Spinal decompression is another technique that has been highly effective for healing injuries. Spinal decompression works by gently lengthening and relaxing the spine, creating a vacuum effect that can help correct and heal herniated discs.

Our chiropractor can supplement a sports injury treatment plan with physiotherapy, another facet of our chiropractic care, which can further enhance the effects of an adjustments and decompression. Electrical and neural stimulation, paraffin baths, cryotherapy and moist heat therapy are some of the techniques we employ to further promote healing.

Massage therapy is another effective treatment that can supplement our chiropractic care. We offer various types of massage and can combine several techniques to most effectively treat each particular sports injury. Deep tissue massage targets the deeper, underlying tissues that are often damaged while a Swedish massage uses gentle motions that can energize and release tension. Massage therapy also works to promote healing by enhancing blood circulation to the affected area.

Our Lodi and Madison chiropractic care for sports injury is typically rounded out by physical therapy, which consists of a series of exercises. The exercises serve to strengthen and stretch the affected area to help restore full mobility and prevent future injuries from recurring. Our chiropractor can suggest a number of exercises you can do at home and in our office, each tailored to your specific needs to maximize health benefits.
