Common Sports Injuries and How To Prevent Them

Posted by Advanced Injury Care Clinic on Apr 13, 2020 5:12:03 PM

Playing a recreational sport as an adult can be a great way to stay fit and social. 

 

An afternoon in the park playing a pick-up game of basketball or flag football can help you relieve stress, have fun, and stay in shape.

 

But organized sports can come with a risk. Every year, 8.6 million Americans sustain a sports or recreation-related injury.

 

Many of these injuries heal on their own over time, but some can be more serious. 

 

A torn ACL, for example, often requires surgery that can cost upwards of $20,000 to $50,000 without insurance.

 

It's not always possible to prevent an injury, but you can be smart about the way you train and play sports.

This will allow your body to function better and become less susceptible to injury. It can also enhance your athletic performance.

 

The goal of all chiropractic techniques is to restore or enhance joint function while resolving joint inflammation and reducing pain.
