Common Causes of Sports Injuries

There are several common causes of sports injuries, especially in children and teens. Regardless of how your child may have injured themselves, chiropractic treatment is a great way to alleviate discomfort and recover fully. Below are some of the most common reasons why sports injuries occur.

Poor Training Methods

Improper form, unfit equipment, inadequate drills, and other weaknesses in a child’s training can lead to injury. Basketball and football, for example, may require one to pivot or turn quickly. These sudden movements can lead to stress and injury, especially if strength training, drills, and other training exercises are insufficient.

Structural Abnormalities

Structural abnormalities most often present themselves in the ankles, knees, and hips. Improper training or strain can lead to uneven leg length, excessive pronation in the feet, and other misalignments in the joints. Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for sports injuries and resolving imbalances.

Overuse & Overtraining

It can take the muscles around 48 hours to recover after a workout, especially if someone is new to a sport or certain exercise. If exercise intensity is increased too quickly or engaged in too often, it can lead to pain, injury, and delayed recovery.

Unsafe Exercise Environment

A poorly maintained track, tennis court, or field can result in trips, falls, slips and other mishaps. Even inclement weather during a game or practice can make one more vulnerable to injury. Regardless of how your child may have acquired their sports injury, Dr. Pitcairn will determine the best course of treatment for recovery.

Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Sports Injuries

Chiropractic care differs from traditional methods used to treat injuries. It is holistic, all-natural, and safe to engage in long-term. When your child works with Dr. Pitcairn to address any sports injuries, they will enjoy the following benefits:

Pain Relief

Children and teens with sports injuries can experience a great deal of pain, depending on the severity and site of the injury. Chiropractic treatment offers pain relief at the source. Dr. Pitcairn uses proven chiropractic techniques tailored to your child’s size to relieve pain and discomfort.

Increased Mobility

Stiffness is a common response to pain and discomfort. The muscles surrounding the injury are likely to feel tense both during and even after recovery. Chiropractic treatment helps improve mobility and range of motion, which increases the chance of a full recovery and long-term relief.

Non-Invasive Treatment

Surgery and other invasive treatments may be required for some sports injuries. However, surgery may not always be necessary, especially if the injury can be corrected and healed through chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic care is gentle and holistic, but highly effective. Your child can engage in treatment long-term, with no side-effects or harm.

What to Expect: Working with a Chiropractor for Sports Injuries in Oregon City

Dr. Pitcairn effectively treats sports injuries, as well as any pain or discomfort that may accompany the primary injury. To start, your child will have an initial consultation with Dr. Pitcairn where she will review their health history, family health history, the nature of their sprain or injury, and other relevant factors.

Then, your child will undergo testing, including a physical examination, computer testing, and in-house x-rays, if needed. After the conclusion of these tests, Dr. Pitcairn will review the results and tailor a care plan that best suits the needs of your child and their recovery goals.

Initially, the goal of chiropractic treatment will be to address and resolve any acute pain. Once a desired level of recovery is achieved, your child will move on to maintenance care and treatments that focus on sustaining recovery and preventing future injuries.

No matter how your child was injured or how long they have been living with discomfort, chiropractic treatment for sports injuries is effective, all-natural, and a great way to help them heal properly. Contact Dr. Pitcairn now to schedule an initial consultation for your child.
