Chiropractic Care for Sports Injuries

But chiropractic care can help you recover from sports injuries more quickly and even help you avoid injury in the future. 

You Can Stay Active with Chiropractic

Summer is coming up fast, and you’re going to want to be at your best to take full advantage. Whether you love spending sunny days swimming in the pool, going for a bike ride, or playing catch with the kids in your backyard, chiropractic care can help you stay active. Regular adjustments help with post-workout recovery, staying injury-free, and keeping you moving all summer long in Newnan, GA.

The Benefits of Chiropractic for Athletes

It is common for athletes to suffer sports injuries because they put their bodies through more than usual. Prescription drugs slow down reaction times, are addictive, and can only mask the pain of injuries. In contrast, undergoing surgery can leave an athlete sidelined for several months. As a result, many athletes seek chiropractic treatment after suffering a sports injury. Here's how chiropractic for athletes can improve athletic performance and prevent injuries.

Chiropractic for Student-Athletes

School will be back in session soon, and activities will begin. What is one of the most popular school activities? Sports! As soon as kids reach middle school, they have the option of choosing from a variety of sports. If your kids play sports, you may worry about their health. You can help your student athlete stay healthy by doing a few things besides getting them to practice. Learn how chiropractic for student-athletes helps avoid sports injuries and boosts wellness.

How Chiropractic Can Prevent Sports Injuries

The start of August means it’s time to prepare for another athletic season. Student athletes are often neglected when it comes to spinal health and injury prevention because they are young and considered unable to get those types of aches and pains. In reality, they are just as likely — if not more — to be injured while playing a sport because they are inexperienced in protecting their bodies. Here’s why chiropractic is one of the best ways to avoid sports injuries for yourself or your child.

Chiropractic Care: Football's MVP!

Football season is officially here, and as much fun as it is to watch, football is one serious sport. Whether professional, playing for the local league, or cheering from the sidelines, chiropractic care is an excellent treatment for players and spectators alike. Here’s how chiropractic is football’s MVP.

Avoid Overuse Injuries

If you’ve been receiving chiropractic care regularly, you already know just how important core and upper body strength is for your posture. When you have a strong core, you’ve got the ideal support system for a healthy spine. To maintain that strength, you need to be on the lookout for injuries from overuse. Here are our tips for avoiding them.

Can Chiropractic Improve Your Athletic Ability?

If you're an athlete, you're always looking for the edge that will take your performance to the next level. No matter what sport you are playing, your competition is always getting faster, stronger, and bigger which means you have to constantly work towards improvement in order to keep up. While we sometimes hear of athletes using dishonest methods such as performance-enhancing drugs to get ahead, most focus on enhanced training concepts and nutrition to improve. One way athletes can improve is, perhaps surprisingly, through chiropractic care!

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
