Learn Seattle Athletic Injury Safety Tips

By Jorel Tuyor


Athletes, professionals and amateurs alike, frequently have regular chiropractic care. Pushing the body to its limits requires maintenance. For what they put their bodies through, athletes need to manage pain and injuries and do everything possible to reduce the occurrence of injuries. With an experienced Seattle chiropractor these men and women can continue to play the sports they love.

For injury prevention, core muscle strength is essential. A strong core acts as protection for a spine that is being subjected to impact and overuse. Many athletes to do not appreciate the importance of core strength and their time in the gym is usually more focused on other body parts. Your chiropractor will provide some instruction on how to target strength building in the core.

Inflammation left unattended can worsen an existing injury. Reducing inflammation will reduce the pain and is a preventive step against further injury. Chiropractors use inversion, ultrasound and massage therapies for these reasons. Inversion therapy effectively reduces tension and pressure on the spine. Ultrasound therapy can be used frequently to improve the mobility. Massage has real therapeutic value for relaxing tense muscles and other soft tissue in the body.

Reducing pain naturally and with non-invasive care means that the athlete will be less likely to turn to addictive pain medication. Drugs will mask the pain, which only makes the athlete more likely to sustain an injury. With chiropractic care the cause of the pain is addressed and conditions of the body like inflammation lessen.

It is the human condition that as people age bodies lose some of their ability to bounce back from illness or injury. People who love sports or earn their living at sports can continue to play. They just need to realize their limitations and play the game with greater care.

With regular chiropractic care athletes can be prepared to manage pain and prevent injuries. Staying fit with workouts that increase strength and improve flexibility helps prevent injuries. Adjust to the realities of aging and you will be able to stay in the game longer.
