Rehabbing From Injuries With Chiropractic Care
When you’ve sustained an injury, you want to get back to normal as soon as possible – preferably with invasive techniques or addictive pain medications. Dr. Brain, Dr. Shaun, and Dr. Kelly at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Greenbelt, MD, share below how chiropractic injury rehab can help you accomplish this goal.
Basics of Chiropractic Care and Its Role in Injury Recovery
Chiropractic care is designed to help restore the body to health and wellness through completely natural methods. This is accomplished by addressing injuries at the source and restoring alignment and balance throughout the musculoskeletal system.
One of the many benefits of chiropractic care is that it is highly customized to fit the needs of each individual patient, so no two treatment plans look exactly alike. However, some common techniques used in chiropractic injury rehab include the following.
- Adjustments and manipulation: In order to recover fully from a musculoskeletal injury, alignment must be restored. Otherwise, a misalignment can put undue stress and strain on surrounding components. Restoring alignment through adjustments helps relieve this stress and strain, as well as restore range of motion, increase blood flow, improve flexibility and balance, and reduce tension.
- Soft tissue therapy: Soft tissue injuries are very common, usually as the byproduct of a misalignment, the result of sports or auto accidents, or due to overuse. Various soft tissue techniques can be utilized to help soft tissue relax and heal, including massage therapy, ultrasound therapy, and electrical muscle stimulation.
- Therapeutic exercises: Targeted movements can stretch and strengthen troubled areas, significantly aiding in recovery. While these exercises are recommended on an individual basis, they might include resistance band exercises, balance board exercises, and wobble board exercises. They’ll also include stretches and joint mobility exercises, according to your needs.
Chiropractic care can play an integral role in your rehabilitation journey, helping you get back to life more quickly and often better than before. It can also be effective in treating old injuries, even when nothing else has helped.
