How Chiropractic Helps Sport Injuries In Midlothian

By Katy Parfait


Sports injuries can put a professional career on hold. The weekend warrior can have his life stalled by an injury in a pick-up game. Professional and amateur sports are responsible for many accident on the playing field. When it comes to appropriate care there is a Midlothian Chiropractor who evaluates and then cares for many with sports-related injuries.

Not every chiropractor focuses on sports accidents. He must be cognizant of the fact that the professional athlete will do anything and suffer any amount of pain if only he can play on. He must understand and see the value in that type of dedication.

Professional sports requires talent, dedication and long hours of training. From bike racing to swimming the training may be a full-time job. He will have to correlate his muscles with his mind to train through repetition after repetition.

An athlete, no matter how excellent his skills, can only play for a limited number of seasons. A football player over forty is an anomaly. Participating in competitions without being sidelined is imperative to his career. A chiropractor caring for him must understand the urgency that he feels. Otherwise he should be caring for those who are not athletes.

An evaluation must be done quickly and set up a schedule for care as fast as possible. Unless the injured player has a fractured femur or tibia he will choose to play on through the pain. An evaluation requires answering questions, completing a medical history and a series of x-rays.

A sore back may not prevent the player from returning to the game. Severe herniation of one of the intervertebral discs may cause too much pain for the twisting and running required on the football field. The doctor's evaluation will be completed and spinal adjustments administered as quickly as possible if appropriate. It may be inadvisable to play before healing.
