Sprains
If you have ever landed on someone’s foot or rolled your foot on a curb, you have probably experienced some type of sprain in your ankle. Sprains are most common in the ankles and wrists, but can happen anywhere in the body. If you have a sprain, it is best to see a professional to see a professional like the doctors at Back Works to discuss the rehabilitation process.
A sprain refers to an injury in which a ligament has been stretched or torn or to an injury in which a muscle has been stretched or torn. When you move in a way that causes pain right away, you have most likely sprained a joint or strained a muscle. Most of the time, these injuries happen together. If this injury isn’t rehabilitated properly, you can have chronic problems down the road, and be prone to re-injury.
Chiropractic care is the treatment of choice for many people who have had these kinds of injuries. It not only helps you out of pain, but focuses on restoring full function, and reducing the chances of you having a chronic problem, or re-injury. Our doctors have a special program that they use on athletes and non-athletes who have been injured, and it gets great results with sprains and strains. If you have injury yourself recently, or have an old injury that wasn’t rehabilitated properly (ie an injury that keeps coming back), call us today for a free consultation.
