Sports Injury Treatment in Brunswick GA

Sports injuries in Brunswick GA by their nature are post traumatic injuries, and those that do not require surgery are very responsive to treatment rendered by chiropractic offices, especially those with extensive experience such as Advanced Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Brunswick GA.

My background in treating athletes began when i was growing up played many sports in high school and college. I injured myself numerous times playing football, ice hockey, and lacrosse, as well as boxing and karate. Since I knew nothing about chiropractic care growing up, I never experienced the powerful results that can help relieve trauma related injuries until I fell from a roof after college. After experiencing how I felt after chiropractic care to my spine from the fall, i realized in a few weeks that I never had felt as limber, flexible or strong in my entire life, and i had the benefit of playing for nationally ranked programs in high school and college. I call this transformation "Postural Performance and the Power of Biomechanics." Its the reason chiropractic care along with physical therapy is used in every training room in the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS and major colleges throughout the USA. Lets look at these paradigms.

BIOMECHANICS:

The study of the human muculoskeletal system in terms of it's ideal design, ie model and its relationship to human posture is called Biomechanics. It involves analyzing structure and function of the human body relating primarily to movement, strength, flexibility, agility, speed and body control. EVERY athlete wants and needs to perform at their highest ability in all these aspects of kinetics to succeed at their given sport. And all coaches and trainers strive to provide every legal (non PED) means to allow their athletes to attain maximum performance. The profession of sports trainers and sports physiology has grown in leaps and bounds in knowledge and demand exponentially over the past 30 years, as high school, college and professional realize that proper, specific training and conditioning of athletes that are Sport Specific as well as proper treatment for injured athletes help their programs succeed. To an extent, it's all about winning and losing and using every legal advantage to do so, but it's also about constantly raising the performance bar and looking for innovative ways to do the job better!

We know what the ideal posture looks like, allowing maximum flexibility of all body joints, and strength for connective tissue including tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, and fascia, as well as maximum muscle function and contractibility for strength and endurance. ANY deviation from that ideal postural model MUST RESULT in symptomatic consequences including restricted mobility of joints, loss of flexibility, loss of strength and agility, loss of explosive quickness, and eventually pain. Correcting the imbalances causing the postural deformities will allow the injures areas to heal, and benefit from proper training to restore the loss of performance. It's really that simple. This is the prime function that chiropractors perform for teams and athletes allover the world. If it didn't work, believe me teams wouldn't waste their time or resources to include it.

POSTURAL PERFORMANCE:

The human body can only respond to a command at the level it is capable of. Depending upon the severity of an initial injury, how long ago it occurred, the quality of treatment rendered to allow that injury to heal, and any subsequent injuries sustained to complicate the injury into a syndrome (related functional consequences or "domino- effect" of several injuries or re injuries), performance can not be at maximum level until everything is corrected and allowed to heal. This means specifically, correct the damage and resulting imbalances in the spine and or extremities (legs, knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, arms elbows, wrists or hands/fingers, TMJ, or jaw, and skull). Any joint can and will be misaligned with a traumatic force, and the speed, weight and angle of impact force will determine how much damage occurs to joints and connective tissue. The science behind proper treatment demands that EVERY type of tissue receives specific corrective therapy so they all can heal in the fastest timeframe and be ready to initiate exercise rehabilitation to restore full function, and get the athlete back to full performance. Some only require a little time, others take much longer, but the process in systematic and deals with correction and healing response.

Muscles and other connective tissue surrounding and creating human joints are highly responsive to various therapy types including electrical stimulation, specific specialty massage and deep tissue release, cold laser therapy, which was researched heavily in Europe in racehorse healing responses, chiropractic joint manipulation, stretch and flexibility training, resistance and specific rehabilitative body conditioning. Again this is the regimen for non-operative injuries, and in many cases post op cases. Help the body fully heal, be specific in regard to the program of therapies to cover all injured or compromised tissue types and use the right combination of retraining so full performance is reached as quickly as safely possible. It is reliable and works extremely well!
