(Newswire.net — Feb 8, 2013) Calgary, AB — With the super bowl over, after an exciting Baltimore Ravens win, Dr. Jamila Abdulla is stressing that sports such as football and hockey can cause tremendous force on the human body, and injuries often occur as a result. In addition, people that play basketball, tennis, and soccer also experience a lot of injuries that need to be addressed.
Athletes and active people need to have their injuries diagnosed right away so that they can try and avoid chronic pain. Some of the injuries they may suffer to varying degrees, include damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Receiving prompt chiropractic care can lessen the effects of these injuries and get a person back in the game a lot sooner than just hoping that the pain will go away.
Abdulla uses chiropractic techniques such as graston and active release to help her patients recover and supplements that, with massage therapy when necessary. For anyone that has never tried a chiropractor she stresses that chiropractors do not crack bones or joints. They work on the soft tissues around the bones and joints and any sound you hear is from the fluid in the joint. In addition, she says that it is not always necessary to keep going back once your pain is gone, but a periodic checkup may be a good idea.
“There is a preventative aspect here too where we can help an athlete to avoid injuries in the first place”. With our aging population wanting to stay active, sports injuries will become more and more prevalent as older people embrace tennis, running, and golf. They will need a maintenance plan to know what to do to avoid recurring injuries and stay mobile in general. They may be using improper equipment or using the wrong technique such as their golf grip or swing which can then cause discomfort or pain.
Some forms of Chiropractic care have been around for thousands of years with ancient Greek and Chinese physicians writing about the importance of spinal care. More recently, Chiropractic care started gaining popularity in the late nineteenth century with Daniel Palmer being credited with starting the profession.
