Types of Sports Injuries Seen by Our Beverly Chiropractor

Players of certain sports, including high-impact and full contact sports, are inherently more prone to injury. However, a sports injury can occur in virtually any type of physical activity and at any level of competition. Our Beverly chiropractor frequently evaluates and treats the following types of sports injuries:

• Muscle strains
• Ligament sprains
• Back pain, neck pain, and joint pain (e.g., shoulder, knee, hip)
• Inflammatory issues such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, bursitis, and medial or lateral epicondylitis
• Nerve impingement syndrome, such as sciatica or cervical radiculopathy
• Joint dislocations
• Whiplash and post-concussion syndrome

Risk Factors for Sports Injury

The good news is that many of these factors are both treatable and avoidable! The following risk factors may increase the likelihood of a person sustaining a sports injury:

• Over-training (doing "too much too soon" or not resting enough between training days)
• Poor hydration, nutrition, and/or sleep
• Not properly warming up or cooling down
• Not addressing underlying areas of restrictions, weakness, or postural imbalances
• Running surface
• Repetitive movement, especially lifting, jarring, pivoting, pounding, twisting, or overhead movements
• Poor technique and breathing strategies
• Ill-fitting or improper equipment
