Sports Injuries – Gastonia Chiropractic Minute

Sports are rather dangerous when you think about it. Looking at American football, it isn’t hard to see why this may be the case. Not only do you have a bunch of guys tackling each other, there has been medical proof that the concussing that often occurs can not only have a physical effect on someone, but a mental and psychological one as well. Watch any soccer game and you will likely see someone rolling around on the ground because they were kicked, stepped on, or even just cramping up. There are hundreds of hours of footage online of severe sports injuries as well, ranging from broken legs to slashed necks.
While some of these injuries are easily treated, others can take a while to heal. Even if you didn’t catch the wrong side of an ice skate to the face, you may very well be in pain from something that happened while you were running or playing a game of basketball with some friends. It doesn’t have to be physically noticeable in order to be a sports injury either. Think of things like shin splints or torn muscles and you can understand just how dangerous playing sports can be. Now don’t get us wrong, we don’t want to discourage anyone from going out there and being active. However, we see all too often that people get hurt and don’t go to the doctor in time to have something properly cared for and rehabilitated in the right way. This is something we want to help to change.
