Effective Treatment Plans for Sports Injuries

Life is fun. Whether you’re playing sports or chasing the kids around, there’s always something to do to keep you active. There’s also a parallel opportunity for injury – one wrong step in the grass and you’ve twisted an ankle or misaligned your spine.

If you’re experiencing pain from an injury, schedule an appointment with the chiropractors at Northern Lights Chiropractic. Since your body is unique, your chiropractor will develop your treatment plan to consider your body’s shape and healing process.

Promptly Treating Injuries From Car Accidents

Car accidents, no matter how severe, are stressful. The thought of an impact makes your muscles tighten and contract. An actual severe accident causes major injuries and debilitating pain. Don’t shrug off your pain from an accident. Even common muscle aches take months to heal.

Whiplash is one of the more common injuries from a car accident – you feel your neck moves forward or backward really fast due to the force of the impact. What actually happens is thousands of micro-tears causing trauma to your muscles and ligaments. Because of the adrenaline rush, you may not feel the pain right away. But it is recommended to get to a hospital for an assessment of injuries.

A day or two after an accident, you may start to feel the effects of the injuries. Stiff neck, shoulders and back, poor range of motion, headaches, and pain in impacted extremities are commonplace. That’s when you need to schedule an appointment with the chiropractors at Northern Lights Chiropractic for prompt treatment.
