Sports Injury
The body is made of several moving parts working together as one. With a particularly active body, it is easy for something to happen to these moving parts. Chiropractors study the musculoskeletal system, which focuses on how the muscles, skeleton, and nerves all work together. Dr. Mark Currington, a sports chiropractor in Dallas’s Oak Lawn neighborhood, offers a variety of athletic-focused services that include spinal decompression, physical therapy, and medical massage to help treat sports injuries.
Sports Chiropractor
Injuries caused while playing sports are usually placed into their own category because of the level of activity in athletics and athletes’ recovery goals. Also, several sports are known for putting athletes at risk for particular injuries.
Due to our level of familiarity with sports injuries, we have been able to optimize using certain treatments to get the most ideal outcome after a sports injury. Our top treatments include:
Spinal Decompression
Our spines bear our body weight and maintain our posture. Vertebrae can misalign or discs can slip from impact, falls, or improper twisting. Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, creating space for herniated disc material to return to its original position, relieving pain and discomfort.
Physical Therapy
Joint injuries can cause temporary loss of use, leading to muscle weakening and reduced flexibility. Physical therapy aims to restore strength and mobility through targeted exercises tailored to the specific injury, helping to regain function and maintain overall joint health during recovery.
Medical Massage
Medical massage therapy has been known to relieve many issues including:
- Back pain
- Postoperative care
- Sleep disorders
- High blood pressure
- Disc issues
- Pinched nerves
- Joint pain
- Headaches
Seeing a sports chiropractor for a medical massage prior to an athletic event can help the body be limber and prepared enough to prevent common injuries.
