Where to Get Help for SPORTS INJURIES in Augusta, GA in Augusta, Georgia For Sale

FAQS ABOUT SPORTS INJURIES AND WHERE TO GET HELP
SOME OF THE MOST COMMON SPORTS INJURIES INCLUDE: Sprains?tears to the ligaments that join the ends of bones together. The ankles, knees, and wrists are commonly affected by sprains.
Strains?pulls or tears of muscles or tendons (the tissues that attach the muscles to the bones)
"Shin splints"?pain along the outside front of the lower leg, commonly seen in runners
Achilles tendonitis or rupture of the Achilles tendon?These injuries involve the large band of tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel
Fractures of the bones
Dislocation of joints
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 tendinitis, 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.
