Our Approach: Sarasota Athletes Benefit from Chiropractic Care

Recovering from any sports injury starts with identifying the root cause for pain. Golf injuries, football injuries, or other kinds of sport injuries may boil down to something as simple as a misaligned spine. Spinal misalignment can often go undiagnosed and can lead to multiple injuries ranging from sprained ankles to tennis elbow.

When the spine is misaligned, it causes the body to compensate by shifting movements to favor certain muscles over others. This can strain ligaments, tendons and other connective tissues in key joints and lead to repetitive motion injuries, strains, sprains, or tears.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Common athletic injuries include tennis elbow, sprained ankles, and knee problems. Tennis elbow results from inflamed tendons in the elbow, caused by an improper swinging motion while playing with a tennis racket. Sprained ankles or knee problems result when ligaments are stretched or torn while running and jumping. All of these problems can be traced back to spine misalignment.

Restoring proper alignment will help eliminate the root causes behind the original injuries. Athletes working with our chiropractor, Dr. Kozma, learn to use corrective exercises that expunge improper motion and help the body learn how to swing, run, and jump the right way. This will make it easier to prevent future pain and limit the risk of future injury.

Our chiropractor, Dr. Kozma, also works with athletes to promote natural healing through physical therapy. This treatment starts with reducing swelling and adjusting the knee, foot, or ankle to restore proper alignment and provide immediate pain relief. Then we work on strengthening muscles surrounding the injured area. Strengthening muscles helps protect injured soft tissues and also restores a full range of motion to injured areas.

Chiropractic care can be used to help you rehab from all sorts sports injuries, from golf injuries to basketball injuries. Spinal adjustments can relieve pressure on other areas of the body and help prevent future injuries while enhancing the body's ability to recover from current ones. Our chiropractic care goes beyond adjustments to also incorporate corrective exercises, and any other treatment that helps get you back on your feet.
