Sports Injury Treatment FAQs

While injuries are common in sports, the reality is that anyone can suffer from or develop a sports injury at any time. To stop the pain associated with a sports injury, at the Johnson Chiropractic Center in Fayetteville, the first step is to diagnose the injury so that we can apply the proper treatment.

Is my injury a sports injury?

The two categories of sports injuries are acute and chronic. Acute injuries are incurred suddenly, causing pain immediately. Chronic pain develops over time and can be easy to overlook if not treated early. Sports injuries are characterized by the type of damage that could happen during exercise or sporting activity.

Can I treat my injury with Rest, Ice, Circulation, & Elevation (RICE)?

In many cases, the RICE approach is a great way to reduce pain and inflammation and to give the affected area a chance to heal. However, in other cases, professional treatment is also necessary. If something is broken or out of place, the body’s natural healing powers alone may not be enough to resolve the problem.

How long does it take to recover from a sports injury?

Recovery times depend on the nature of the injury and the age and biochemistry of the patient. Some minor injuries can heal on their own in a few days. More severe injuries will take longer, and certain types of injuries are notoriously slow to heal. Consult our chiropractor to ensure that you don’t further injure yourself. We can also help the body to heal quickly without the use of drugs or surgical procedures.

What sports injuries can a chiropractor treat?

Chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, rehabilitative exercises, and nutritional counseling can treat a wide range of sports injuries and medical conditions.
