Physical Therapist Care and Pain Relief

Although a sports injury is caused by overexerting the muscle joints, tendons or ligaments during an activity - perhaps do t over-training or failing to properly stretch and warm up prior to activity - there are many specific types of sports injury that can occur.

Car accident injury patients who have Ankle injuries are also common among athletes, because many sports require running, landing or jumping on the feet with heavy impact. Approximately one in every three ankle injuries is a sprain that could be as minor as an overstretched ligament or damage to the soft tissue in the neck can be hard to detect and even harder to treat. Chiropractic adjustments combined with physical therapy will assist in faster pain relief and enhanced healing in the muscles and deep tissues. Although it is best for treatments to begin immediately after your accident, car accident injury pain can be treated when symptoms occur weeks or even months later. Rehabilitation techniques can be implemented whenever injuries are prevalent or pain flares up.
