Chiropractic Treatment For Sprains and Strains
Sprains and Strains usually are mild injuries that frequently result from work-related injuries, car accidents, sports, exercise, or alternative physical action. They occur most frequently in the muscles that support the shoulder, thigh, crotch, and the calf. Occasionally strains and sprains may be serious, resulting in weeks of rehabilitation.

The staff was very friendly and professional. Most importantly, all of the different therapy and adjustment procedures are second to none! Enjoyed every second I was here. Will schedule many more!

TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES:
Your doctor may advise that you simply treat the injury with RICE.
The definition of RICE refers to:
- Rest
- Ice
- Compression
- Elevation of the injured area
Ice reduces inflammation, bleeding, as well as pain. It might also reduce secondary injury to the rest of the joint.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A lot of people who see chiropractors do so for strain and sprain injuries. For sprains and strains, for example using ice, heat, ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation, laser, and trigger-point treatment, other treatments are used by chiropractors as well as joint manipulation. Chiropractors could also recommend strengthening and stretching exercises to help to heal. One study found that a balance training course reduced the chance of ankle sprains among basketball players and high school football players.
In a study of people who have ankle sprains, researchers compared chiropractic manipulation with that of anti-inflammatory drugs. It was discovered that chiropractic was more powerful compared to the drug in enhancing the range of movement.
