Common Injuries Associated with Outdoor Activities and How a Chiropractor Can Help
Whether you play sports, hike, trail run, or golf, outdoor activities have certain risks associated with them. You can suffer from repetitive stress injuries, aches and pains, and strains that put you out of commission and take you away from the outdoor activities you enjoy. If you’re suffering from back pain, neck pain, or leg pain after taking part in outdoor activities, scheduling an appointment with our Sandy Springs chiropractor can help you find relief.
Back, Neck, and Shoulder Injuries
Certain repetitive injuries like swinging a bat or golf club, rowing, and bending and lifting, can put wear and tear on muscles and joints. Over time, this causes a repetitive stress injury. If you’re experiencing aches, pains, stiffness, loss of range of motion, and decreased athletic ability, our chiropractor can help. She may recommend a combination of chiropractic care, massage therapy, and at-home exercises and stretches to relieve pain and inflammation and get you back to normal.
Joint Pain and Overexertion
Joint pain and overexertion are two of the most common injuries caused by outdoor activities. Chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression can ease joint pain by realigning and balancing the spine, allowing nutrients, oxygen, and blood to flow freely through the spine and joints, and releasing the buildup of fluid in the facets of the spine that cause pain, inflammation, swelling, and stiffness.
Sprains and Strains
Our chiropractor can prevent and treat sports injuries like sprains and strains. Through chiropractic care therapies like chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy, our chiropractor can increase the strength of key muscles that support your spine, lengthen and stretch muscles so that they are more limber and flexible, and improve your balance so that you’re less likely to suffer from an injury like a sprain or strain.
Dehydration, Sun Stroke, and Exhaustion
Our chiropractor can also provide health and nutrition advice, as well as key vitamins and supplements, that will improve your performance and reduce your risk of dehydration, sun stroke, and exhaustion. A combination of diet, nutritional counseling, exercise, and lifestyle modification can get you back to the outdoor activities that you love stronger than ever.
