Sports injuries are often a byproduct of playing sports, whether you play for fun or on a professional level. At French Chiropractic, we can relieve the pain and discomfort of sports injuries through chiropractic care. These FAQs from your Erin & Clarksville chiropractor explain more about sports injuries and chiropractic sports injury treatment.
What are sports injuries?
Sports injuries can be classified as acute or chronic injuries. Acute injuries occur suddenly due to an unexpected impact. These include dislocated joints, misalignments in your spine, herniated discs, torn tissues, and sprains and strains.
Chronic injuries develop over time due to repetitive motion or muscle overuse. These injuries can cause pain and discomfort, inflammation, and loss of mobility. Carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, runner’s knee, and rotator cuff injuries are just a few examples of chronic sports injuries.

How do chiropractors treat sports injuries?
Our chiropractor will fully evaluate your condition to determine the type of injury you’ve sustained and its severity. This information will help us outline a plan for treatment.
We use non-invasive chiropractic techniques and other natural therapies for sports injury treatment. If your pain is caused by misaligned bones or joints, chiropractic adjustments can help realign your musculoskeletal system to relieve pain and help your body heal. Massage therapy relieves muscle spasms and inflammation and circulates blood to injured areas so you can heal quicker.
How long does it take for a sports injury to heal?
That depends on the type and severity of your sports injury. Some injuries respond quickly to chiropractic treatments while others take longer to heal. The sooner you start treatment, the sooner you can get back on your feet.
