Sports Injury Care in Augusta GA

Whether a professional athlete, amateur runner, or a dedicated week-end warrior avoiding sports injuries can be as difficult as walking in between raid drops in order not to get wet. The U.S. Center for Disease control estimates that approximately 150 million adults and 30 million children engage in organized sports or other regular physical exercise. In 2002, sports injuries generated 4.3 million visits to hospital emergency rooms.

For most of those who suffer from sports related injuries the goal isn’t just to relieve the pain. For those who live to move the goal is to get back on the field, bike, kayak, tennis court, golf course, hiking trail, or whatever the activity of choice may be.

For examples, as experienced sports chiropractors in Augusta GA, we regularly treat runners for injury prevention in addition to acute injuries, because it emphasizes proper alignment of the spine and pelvis. The most common running-related injuries Dr. Mark Huntsman sees in his patients, which range from recreational runners to Marathon competitors, are plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, IT Band Syndrome, patella (knee) tracking problems and hip bursitis.

A proper course of mobilization therapy can often restore normal range of motion as well as reduce scar tissue and improve blood circulation – all of which both treat the injury, as well as assist in preventing future injury.  Augusta GA Chiropractor Georgia Clinic of Chiropractic also incorporates the latest in sports injury rehabilitation: cold laser therapy.  Combined with chiropractic treatment, cold laser treatments not only reduce the inflammation in a variety of sports injuries, but further reduces scar tissue and aids in muscle healing.
