Treatment with a Sports Injury Specialist in Augusta GA

There are several good reasons why the athlete should seek a sports chiropractor for the treatment and rehabilitation of a sports injury. Active people are physically and emotionally different from sedentary ones. Most physicians have not had special training in sports medicine or rehabilitation. Therefore, even outstanding physicians who don't treat athletes very regularly may make mistakes in the diagnosis and treatment of athletes' neuromusculoskeletal problems.

Without addressing a sports injury, the injury may become worse. The dysfunction in an injured joint rarely clears up on its own. Once a joint is injured, especially a knee or ankle, the fascia that surrounds the muscles forms scar tissue and adhesions. These two alone can cause decrease in motion, pain, and even contribute to further injury. Think of adhesions like this; your muscles are pretty much a bunch of ropes packed together all moving in different directions and always rubbing together, injuries fray those ropes and when frayed ropes rub together they cause more fraying.

As experienced chiropractors in Augusta GA that specialize in various types of sports injuries, Georgia Clinic of Chiropractic is here to serve you with customized treatments designed for your specific sport.   For example, the elbow is a very complicated joint that experiences high forces during throwing maneuvers (e.g., baseball, javelin throwing) that can lead to injury and time lost from competition.  Furthermore, other sports, such as weight-lifting, golf, and tennis can cause injuries that can linger and ultimately affect your game.   Through additional training, We have become experts in the field of caring for student-athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone else who maintains an active lifestyle. We understand the role activity plays in keeping a person fit and we are dedicated to helping patients get back into their game.  

Our practice philosophy toward athletic injuries is that everyone is better served by having the injured player promptly and ably treated, thereby obtaining recovery before irreparable damage is done.  In other words, by tailoring each treatment for the athlete's injury as well as the specific sport being played, we can address the injury at hand as well as help prevent future injuries from occuring. We strive to make a complete recovery the chiropractic goal for each of our patients. While this may not be possible in every case, it is always the goal.  

Many of our patients were referred by their medical doctors as well as physical therapists and personal trainers, and these patients were then able to resolve their sports injury through our injury-specific treatments.
