Chiro for Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can vary greatly depending on the type of injury and the affected area. However, some common symptoms of sports injuries may include:

• Pain: Pain is often the first symptom of a sports injury. It may be sharp or dull and may be felt in the affected area or radiate to other parts of the body.
• Swelling: Swelling is a common symptom of many sports injuries. It may be accompanied by redness, warmth, or stiffness in the affected area.
• Limited range of motion: A sports injury can make it difficult to move the affected area. You may feel stiff, and your movements may be restricted.
• Weakness: Depending on the type of injury, you may experience weakness or instability in the affected area. 
• Bruising: Bruising is a common symptom of many sports injuries. It occurs when blood vessels under the skin are damaged and can lead to discoloration and tenderness.
• Tingling or numbness: In some cases, a sports injury can cause tingling or numbness in the affected area. This can be a sign of nerve damage and should be evaluated by a Chiropractor.
• Difficulty bearing weight: If you have a lower body injury, you may experience difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb.

It’s important to note that spinal and hip misalignments are not the only causes of sports injuries, and other factors such as overuse, improper technique, and inadequate warm-up or conditioning can also contribute to injury.
