Sports Injury Care Palo Alto

Sports injuries are not just limited to professional athletes. However, due to the aggressive nature of sports, especially for high impact (like running and tennis) and contact (like football and lacrosse) sports, injuries are prevalent, even for amateur athletes.

Our Palo Alto chiropractors treats a wide range of acute and chronic sports-related injuries. We understand that when you play sports, you physically push your body to its limits, which can sometimes result in an injury, like a sprain or strain or tendinitis. That is why at Stanford Chiropractic Center, we believe that chiropractic treatment in sports is now a necessity.

Benefits Of Sports Injury Care

Chiropractors have taken on a more advanced role in sports science, especially since understanding the neuromusculoskeletal system can help increase performance and prevent the breakdown of an athlete's body. Here are some of the conditions our care can help:

How Sports Injury Care Works

By implementing daily stretching techniques, soft tissue massages, and dynamic warm-up routines, chiropractors oversee the integration of advanced sports science methods for years.

Any form of trauma, on or off the field, can produce physical stress and shift the spine's vertebra. These shifts are called subluxations, and they have a significant impact on pain, fatigue, recovery, performance, and overall health. If left untreated, a misaligned spine, even the smallest small kink or a postural issue, can cause aches, low energy, and other severe conditions throughout your body.

Once you have healed from your sports injury, it's a good idea to have ongoing aftercare and maintenance. Getting treatments and follow-ups regularly, whether you're a professional or amateur athlete, is a great way to maintain your physical conditioning, as well as improve your mobility and keep acute injuries under control.

Our sports injury chiropractors in Palo Alto use a variety of non-invasive methods and techniques to help you get relief and get back to your athletic activities more reliable than ever before.
