Are you an avid soccer, hockey or tennis player? Do you go jogging every day? Or are you the type who spends weekends at the gym in an aerobics class? No matter the sports or physical activities, you're at risk of an injury. If you need treatment, or if you're trying to prevent a sports injury from occurring or want to improve your performance, you can find care at Krieger Chiropractic in Williamsville, NY, with our sports chiropractor, Dr. William Krieger.
Treating Your Sports Injuries
Sports chiropractors are most known for treating injuries that occur during play. These can occur from not warming up properly, not knowing the proper techniques, overworking or overstretching the soft tissue during physical activity, or from mishaps like falls and collisions.
For instance, we can help if you have a sprain or strain. A sprain happens whenever you overstretch or overstress a ligament. A strain arises whenever you overstretch a tendon or muscle, especially with improper technique.
Tendinitis is another example, and it occurs whenever you overuse a body part and overwork the tendon, leading to inflammation. You could also develop bursitis, which happens to a bursa whenever you overwork it.
And these are only some of the examples of injuries that our sports chiropractor in Williamsville, NY, can treat.
Preventing Future Injuries
Whether you have a sports injury now, had one in the past you didn’t fully heal from, or want to reduce the risk of one occurring, we can assist through therapeutic exercise and advice on proper techniques. We'll need to know about the sports you play and how often. We'll want to know about any injuries you've sustained recently and in the past.
You'll then receive a customized exercise therapy plan to help you increase function and flexion and make the tissue more resilient to an injury. We can also provide customized orthotics to reduce pressure on your lower limbs.
Improving Your Game
Even if you're smashing your records or are a top player on your team, there's always room for improvement. And a sports chiropractor can be the competitive edge you need to improve your performance.
Sports chiropractic care often includes trigger point therapy that helps to stretch your soft tissue, as well as Activator adjustments to correct minor misalignments that may accumulate while you’re active.
Athletes of all levels, in all types of sports are welcome! Our sports chiropractor, Dr. William Krieger, of Krieger Chiropractic in Williamsville, NY, helps patients feel less fatigued, recover after an injury, and prevent injuries in the future.
