Sports Injury FAQs

If you play sports, you’re at risk of injury. You can’t predict when a sports injury will occur, but you can get pain relief through chiropractic care. At Marsch Chiropractic Center in Orangeburg, SC, we provide natural treatment methods for sports injuries. Here are some commonly asked questions about sports injuries.

What Are Some Common Sports Injuries? 

Sports injuries vary depending on the sport you play. In general, however, sports can lead to some of the following injuries:

• Sprains and strains
• Knee injuries
• Swollen muscles
• Dislocations
• Rotator cuff injuries

• Herniated discs

What Types of Sports Injuries Can Chiropractic Care Treat?

Our Orangeburg, SC chiropractor is experienced in treating sprains, strains, stress fractures, neck, shoulder, and back pain, dislocations, spinal misalignments, herniated discs, tendonitis, runner’s knee, and more.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help with a Sports Injury? 

Chiropractic care consists of non-invasive techniques and therapies to treat the pain and discomfort of sports injuries and help you heal. These include chiropractic adjustments, hot and cold treatments, physical therapy, spinal decompression, cold laser therapy, and corrective exercises that can help strengthen your core to avoid future injuries.

Spinal decompression and adjustments are used to bring your spinal system back into alignment. This helps reduce pain and restore flexibility. Physical therapy and exercises will restore your range of motion and aid in your recovery. We also offer lifestyle and nutritional counseling to improve your overall health on a long-term basis.

Can Sports Injuries Be Prevented?

Although you can’t prevent all sports injuries, you can minimize the risk of getting injured by warming up before your game. Try walking for 5-10 minutes and doing some stretching exercises before you play. If your sport calls for protective gear, make sure you wear it. If you’re out of shape, training for your sport before starting your season can help avoid injury.
