As a parent, you want your child to excel in their chosen sport. You may have even put them in private coaching or signed them up for club team sports to give them that extra edge. But what about their health? As kids play sports, they are susceptible to injuries, just like professional athletes. That’s where chiropractic care comes in.
Chiropractic care can help young athletes by keeping their bodies in alignment and improving their range of motion. This can help prevent injuries and also help reduce the severity of injuries if they do occur.
There are many common injuries that can benefit from chiropractic care, such as:
- Sprains and strains
- Shin splints
- Tennis elbow
- Shoulder pain
- Knee pain
Here are a few of the most common injuries for athletes that we see often:
Football is a high-contact sport that often results in injuries to the head, neck, and back. Chiropractic care can help to relieve pain and improve range of motion in these areas.
Cheerleading is a sport that requires a lot of flexibility and agility. Common injuries include sprains and strains to the muscles and ligaments. Chiropractic care can help to reduce inflammation and improve range of motion in these areas.
Volleyball is a high-impact sport that often results in injuries to the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Chiropractic care can help to reduce inflammation and improve range of motion in these areas.
Soccer is a high-impact sport that often results in injuries to the knee, ankle, and foot. Chiropractic care can help to reduce inflammation and improve range of motion in these areas.
Swimming is a low-impact sport that often results in injuries to the shoulder, neck, and back. We often help swimmers recover from overuse injuries.
