Sports injuries can hold you back from doing what you love. And with all the benefits of exercise, the last thing you want is to be tied down due to getting hurt while playing. Dr. Juewuo Reeves of Quest Chiropractic of Wilmington, serving Wilmington, DE, and the nearby region, is here to provide chiropractic adjustments and other non-invasive, sports chiropractic techniques to help your recovery.
Types of Sports Injuries
An injury can happen in the middle of play when you shift the wrong way, fall, or overstretch a muscle or ligament. You're also at risk for a repetitive use injury from working the same soft tissue over and over.
Some examples of injuries we treat through our sports chiropractic care in Wilmington, DE, include:
- Sprains
- Strains
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Plantar fasciitis
How We Help
We encourage you to contact us if you have pain after playing sports. We can ensure you heal as fully and quickly as possible. You then won't have to suffer any longer than necessary and will be at less risk for permanent debilitation. We can also educate you on how to prevent sports injuries.
Diagnosing the Problem
Before we set you up with a customized treatment plan, we'll need to conduct thorough diagnostics to determine the exact problem. Our practitioner will perform palpations to assess for swelling and feel for any tightness. Diagnosing the problem will also include assessing your range of motion in the area and asking you a series of questions. It may also include imaging inside the area to rule out other causes or confirm a diagnosis.
Providing Treatment
Chiropractic adjustments, which consist of our practitioner taking pressure off the soft tissue and nerves surrounding the joints through manual manipulation, are the bread and butter of our practice and are used to treat back injuries and certain arm and leg injuries.
Sometimes, for a back injury or even if you're having specific problems with your arms or legs, our chiropractor may recommend spinal decompression — a treatment that stretches the spine gently to take pressure off the sensitive spinal discs.
When you visit for injuries of the arms, legs, or back, our practitioner can guide you through exercises that work a body part to encourage healing. Our chiropractor also uses soft tissue mobilization to treat fascia adhesions.
Sports chiropractic care with spinal adjustments and other treatments performed by Dr. Reeves of Quest Chiropractic of Wilmington, serving Wilmington, DE, and the neighboring communities, get patients moving toward healing.
