Sports Injury Treatments in Augusta, GA in Augusta, Georgia For Sale

If you?re suffering from sports injuries, you?re probably wondering what you can do and where you can go to seek the best treatment based on your injury. If you?re training for something specific, getting your injury taken cared of is probably at the top of your to-do list right now.
Up to 20% of all injuries that occur in sports involve the lower back or neck. Sports that use repetitive impact (e.g., running) or weight loading at the end of a range-of-motion (e.g., weightlifting) commonly cause damage to the lumbar spine (lower back). Sports that involve contact (e.g., football) place the cervical spine (neck) at risk of injury. The thoracic spine (mid portion of the spine at the level of the rib cage) is less likely to be injured in sports because it is relatively immobile due to the rib cage.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TISSUES AFTER AN ACUTE INJURY?When a runner ?pulls a groin? or a tennis player ?strains a tendon,? the soft tissues in the area of pain are injured. Immediately after the injury, there are disrupted fibers of the affected muscle, tendon, and/or ligament. The injured tissues become painful and tender, both directly from the trauma to them and indirectly from the subsequent swelling. This leads to the stiffness, pain, and tenderness that so often accompany the inflammation of tendonitis, bursitis, as well as strain and sprain injuries. It should also be noted that even a bone injury is typically accompanied by injury to the nearby soft tissues.
WHY SHOULD I SEE A CHIROPRACTOR FOR MY SPORTS INJURY?There are good reasons why the athlete should seek a sports chiropractor for the treatment and rehabilitation of a sports injury. Active people are physically and emotionally different from sedentary ones. Most physicians have not had special training in sports medicine or rehabilitation.
