Sports Injury

Those who participate in sports, whether professionally or recreationally, are at risk for getting injured. Overuse injuries, collisions, and more can lead to severe injuries. It is important to seek treatment for your injury before it worsens. At Bove Family Chiropractic in Norristown, PA, we can help. Our chiropractor, Dr. Paul Bove, offers a variety of natural treatment methods for sports injuries. We provide personalized care to meet the needs of each patient and help them recover from their injuries.

Common Sports Injuries

There are many different types of sports injuries that vary based on the sport. The following are some of the most common we see in our office:

• Strains and sprains: Strains and sprains can happen when a joint or a ligament is moved or extended in an unnatural way. A sprain is often described as more painful than a break. It is imperative to have strains and sprains treated in a timely manner to avoid more serious problems in the future. 
• Overextension injuries: Overextension injuries take place when a ligament is overextended. This stretches the ligament and causes pain. Without proper treatment, this type of injury can cause you problems for years to come. 
• Spinal injuries: In severe cases, a spinal cord injury can occur while playing sports. This is a serious condition and will need immediate attention. 
• Overuse injuries: Overuse injuries occur when athletes are in training and competition. This results from using muscles and joints in extreme conditions for a prolonged amount of time. 

Other injuries include shin splints, runner’s knee, tennis elbow, and more.

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

When you first visit us, Dr. Bove will perform a physical exam and look for the root cause of your pain. After a diagnosis, our chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan for you. This can include a combination of techniques.

We often use chiropractic adjustments to treat sports injuries. Realigning the spine will alleviate tension in the body and help the nervous system function more optimally. We also use muscle therapy, which can help with soft tissue and overuse injuries. Depending on your injury, we can also use ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, kinesio taping, acupuncture, and more.
