Treatments for Common Sports Injuries

If you have a sports injury, your sports chiropractor can help. At Dr. Donald Phillips office, we treat sports injuries with the following techniques:

• Spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is the process of eliminating subluxations (areas where the spinal cord has become pinched in the vertebrae of the spine) with gentle hand movements on the spinal column. Spinal manipulation relieves pain, improves communication between the brain and the rest of the body, and reduces swelling.
• Stretches and exercises. We prescribe therapeutic stretches and exercises to help patients maintain strong muscles, improve their range of motion and improve blood flow in injured areas of the body.
• Nutrition counseling. We provide nutrition counseling to ensure that our patients are taking in the right nutrition for their needs during the training season.
