Sport Injuries

A fast recovery is important after a sports injury so you can get back on the field as soon as possible. While many doctors prescribe medications to treat the pain, going to a chiropractor can treat the pain and the injury at the source. At New Wave Chiropractic Center in Carlsbad, your recovery is our priority.

Muscle Strains

Muscle strains are the most common sports injury and can be easily treated with proper chiropractic care. Our chiropractors can do specific back and neck adjustments and massages to relieve the tension on the affected muscle without using medication.

Our chiropractors can also teach you specific stretches to avoid any pulled or strained muscles in the future. Stretching is incredibly important when trying to avoid injuries. Simple daily stretches before a game or practice will greatly reduce the chance of injury.

Sprained Ligaments and Ankles

A sprained ligament can be very painful, and your first idea may be to rush to a doctor to get painkillers. While painkillers can reduce pain, they don’t heal the injury and can cause nasty side effects. The chiropractor will perform gentle soft tissue work to the area to relieve the swelling and pain in the area.

We can also make small adjustments to release anti-inflammatory hormones that will speed up recovery. Depending on the severity, it may take more than one chiropractic session to help heal and get back to a tip-top shape. Pain in the knees can be especially painful, so it’s always good to focus on your most vulnerable joints.

Back Strain

Back injuries are very common for people who play golf and baseball. The violent swinging can easily cause you to throw out your back or pull a muscle. Our chiropractors can teach you the proper posture to relieve strains and prevent worse injuries. Besides performing specific adjustments tailored to your injury, we will also use ultrasound technology to relieve pressure and tension.
