Sprains and Strains

Common Reasons For Strain And Sprains: Overstretching Your Lower Back Muscles & Excessive Lifting. Playing Sports or overexerting yourself. Overstretching your back muscles will cause them to stretch out quicker than they are supposed to. If you are constantly overstretching your back muscles this will put undue stress on it and you will experience pain and sometimes numbness in your back. Playing strenuous sports or playing too much of a sport can also lead to weak back muscles and a pulled muscle, which will cause you to develop strains and sprains. If you have a bad back then you may also develop tears in your ligaments and joints and this will cause you to experience strains and spains as well.

Common Chiropractic Treatments For Strain And Sprains: Chiropractic Treatment for Sprains and Strains begins with the chiropractor finding out what is causing your problem. Most likely you will be experiencing a strain or sprain because of some sort of improper movement. It could be something as simple as having to shift from one side of your body to the other in a quick motion and this causes your shoulder to twist or sprain it. When a strain or sprain happens the chiropractor will help to decompress your spine, so that the joint and muscle that has been strained snaps back into place. The chiropractor will then prescribe anti-inflammatory medication and suggest some type of exercise program to keep you healthy.

Chiropractic Care For Your Sprain or Strain: If you do not get proper physical therapy or chiropractic care you are more likely to develop chronic pain. This is why you need to receive chiropractic care on a regular basis. Many people think that chiropractic care only helps to get rid of pain, but in fact it can help to prevent it as well. By getting chiropractic care on a regular basis you can prevent strains and sprains from occurring and you can get back to what you use to enjoy your life.
