Sports Injury in Canby

In today's age of health and fitness, more and more people are involved in sporting activities in Canby. Whether it is an organized sport or a running/exercise program, getting and staying healthy is the primary goal.

At Canby Spine & Sport, we recognize that athletes require all parts of their body to be working in a coordinated and cohesive manner. Faulty body mechanics can place abnormal stress on the musculoskeletal and nervous system. This can predispose an athlete to significant injury and results in restrictions in range of motion, reduced strength, slower reflexes, shortened endurance, impairment in balance, lack of coordination and decreased overall performance.

Sport Injury Causes in Canby

• Poor co-ordination

SPORT INJURY RECOVERY

Rapid recovery from injury is critical for the athlete. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments depend upon proper joint movement for peak performance. Injuries to these tissues can reduce the range of motion, affect nerves, decrease blood supply, and leave you on the sideline. Chiropractic care helps restore function to spinal joints, improving muscle balance and removing nerve irritation which helps prevent injury and speeds the healing of injured tissues. This care combined with specific stretches and exercises can help restore proper body mechanics for improvement in performance. Chiropractic care has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of sporting injuries.

At Canby Spine & Sport, Dr. Michael Vissers will work with you to produce a care plan depending on your needs. Whether you are a professional athlete, a jogger, or a weekend warrior, chiropractic care can help!
