Corrective Exercises After Injury

Chiropractic treatment involves the alignment of the spine to promote recovery. In some cases, such as those involving injuries, the chiropractor will combine the adjustment procedure with certain corrective exercises to help gain flexibility, muscle strength, endurance, balance, and mobility.

Injuries may at times result from a lack of balance. After the adjustment treatment, the chiropractor will provide certain exercises that help you avoid such occurrences in the future. Chiropractors are skilled in physical therapy, and they will come up with the best corrective exercises depending on the type of injury and organ. The chiropractor will also put you through corrective exercise training to enable you to do the same exercises in the comfort of your home. As you continue with these corrective exercises, you will be in less pain and more mobile.

Corrective Exercises are Effective for Persons with the Following Injuries

Auto Injuries (whiplash)

These are neck injuries often originating from car accidents. They often involve pinched nerves and misalignment of the vertebrae. Such injuries require urgent treatment for the spine to align properly without causing neck immobility.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries are quite common. Athletes want to heal within the shortest time possible and return to the game. Chiropractors are preferred with sports injuries to avoid surgical procedures as much as possible. The chiropractor then works with the athlete through a corrective exercise continuum to help in quick recovery, ease pain, regain mobility and avoid future injuries.

Repetitive Overuse

Repetitive overuse injuries occur from performing routine tasks. Corrective exercises help in strengthening the overused muscles, making them more resistant to injuries and irritation.
