Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned athlete, exercise is a healthy routine for every person. Along with a healthy diet and adequate sleep, it is highly recommended to exercise for at least 30 minutes three times per week to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

​

However, at times during the course exercise an injury may occur such as a sprain or fracture, or you may begin over time to experience gradually increasing pain over the course of weeks, months, or years of training until exercise becomes difficult or impossible.

​

Common exercise injuries include:

• Pulled or strained muscles

• Injuries caused by overuse or overexertion

• Runner’s knee,  inflammation or knee pain under the knee cap

• Plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the tissues on the bottom of the foot

• Tennis elbow– inflammation or irritation of the tendons in the arms and elbows

• Shin splints – pain felt on the anterior (front side) of the calf

 

At times an injury may require more immediate attention than rest, ice, compression and elevation.  A professional can aid immediately to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

​

Furthermore our chiropractors can help patients with spinal, arm, leg, or neck adjustments and treatments to increase blood circulation to the injured area for faster recovery, as well as align the bones correctly surrounding ligaments, tendons and muscles to reduce unnecessary tension on the injury, increase the flexibility of the joints, and help all elements work together for a faster recovery.
