Treating Sprains and Strains with Chiropractic can be a useful alternative particularly when other treatments have been ineffective. Chiropractors use many of the same treatment specialties such as ultrasound and electric stimulation that other health professionals do.  However, Chiropractors have the added advantage of utilizing the chiropractic adjustment often known as mobilization to restore integrity to the joint and surrounding muscle tissue. So if you have a history of an unresolved joint injury Treating Sprains & Strains with Chiropractic may be what’s needed.

Sprains and Strains are common. They can occur either as a result of trauma such as your twisted ankle, or they can be the result of repetitive motion practices. Repetitive motion injuries usually occur in places like the work environment where the affected injured area is constantly exposed to the same activity. Frequently this is the cause of many worker’s comp cases. Over time the integrity of the ligament or tendon is affected and starts to break down. This can result in redness, inflammation and a lose of range of motion of the affected joint. Left untreated the problem only becomes worse and can leave the individual with a physical impairment. In the chronic patient rest and ultrasound are only partial affected. Frequently what is needed is a chiropractic adjustment to the area to restore proper joint mobility and aligns the bones properly. This allows proper nerve and blood flow to the area to be restored and the lymph system to remove metabolic wastes from the area.

While chiropractic has a holistic approach to natural healing it also draws upon the scientific knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and physiology. As part of the treatment diagnostic imagining tools such as X-rays and MRI are incorporated into the process. Your chiropractor may also use a number of other technologies such as cold laser when Treating Sprains & Strains with Chiropractic Care. Cold laser is especially useful in these kind of injuries and scientific studies have validated it’s effectiveness.
