Speed Up Your Recovery with
Chiropractic!
Your musculoskeletal system includes your skeletal
bones, related nerves and soft tissue (ligaments, muscles, tendons
and cartilage. Your spinal column consists of 24 moveable joints
which are at the center of your entire musculoskeletal system.
 Your arms, legs. shoulders, ribs, neck and head are attached to the
spine. And two thirds of you muscles are attached to the spine. So
it doesn't matter whether you hurt your head or you foot your spine
is likely to be pulled out of alignment!
The goal of
chiropractic in managing any type of structural injury is to restore
misaligned vertebrae to their proper position and mobilize the
injured area as soon as possible. As your Doctor of Chiropractic, we
are well trained to determine if and when a join should be adjusted.
By restoring joint
movement, chiropractic adjustments help to prevent the shortening
of muscles and ligaments cause by immobility. Adjustments also help
to prevent the formation of scar tissue in and around the joint.
Sport injuries often
result in soft tissue damage. this type of injury can be more
painful and more serious than a bone injury. As an example, a muscle
tear heals with scar tissue, which lacks the flexibility and
strength of the original tissue. If not properly managed,
soft-tissue injuries may lead to pain, muscle weakness joint
stiffness and eventual disability. Research shows that adjustment
can reduce musculoskeletal pain associated with soft tissue injuries
and restore joint function. Chiropractic care helps to break up scar
tissue and promotes quick healing of injured areas. |
