At Venn Chiropractic and Wellness Center, located in the heart of Frisco, we love helping patients of all ages and stages of life understand how natural, gentle chiropractic care can help them optimize their performance and overall health. That’s especially true when it comes to athletes!
With so many possible causes of sports injuries, it’s impossible to prevent all of them. However, there are several common underlying issues that can lead to injury, or at the very least raise the risk of potential injury. We try our best to educate our patient athletes to perform at their best, reduce as much risk as possible and prevent what we can.
Common Causes of Sports Injuries
We’ve had the pleasure of working with athletes of all skill levels in the practice, and over time, we’ve come to recognize four main causes of sports injuries.
1. Tired bodies. One study compared a group of athletes who got different amounts of sleep each night. A correlation was found between less sleep and higher risk of injury.
2. Poor nutrition. Getting the right nutrients in the right amounts can have a massive influence on performance and injury prevention. Proper nutrition affects recovery, nervous system function, muscle system function and body composition. We have extensive training and education in nutritional protocols so we make it a high priority in teaching our patients how to help themselves.
3. Muscle imbalances. If a muscle is weak, it is more likely to tear, more likely to be tight, and very likely to cause a compensation somewhere in the body. When evaluating the musculoskeletal system, checking for muscle imbalances or weaknesses is critical in not only correcting current injuries but preventing them from returning in the future.
4. Not seeking proper care with chiropractors. There has been a ton of research that shows how sports chiropractic can help athletes–in fact, many professional sports teams have their own sports injury chiropractor.
When athletes come to us, we start with a thorough consultation and health history review to understand their unique situations. We then conduct necessary examinations and provide gentle adjustments. Many athletes report immediate improvements in range of motion and pain reduction. We also offer advice on exercises and stretching as part of our comprehensive care.
