Today’s culture urges us to exercise in order to keep fit and to avoid weight gain. This is a fun way to burn calories, tone muscles, and increase metabolism, either individually or with a team or partner. Unfortunately, statistics show the number of sports injuries continues to increase. High school athletes account for an estimated 2 million injuries and 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations each year. More than 3.5 million kids under age 14 receive medical treatment for sports injuries each year. The highest number of sports-related injuries is known to come from bicycling, basketball, baseball, and running.

Amateur sports enthusiasts, as well as professional sportsmen/women, are all likely to suffer from occasional sports injuries. Injuries may be the result of poor warm-up and stretching techniques, years of poor posture, or a previously undetected spine or joint problem. Failing to receive the appropriate sports chiropractic treatment promptly and continuing to overuse the injured area may prolong the healing process and result in a chronic injury and shorten the possibility of a promising career.

Unfortunately, If one is not severely injured in a sports mishap, treatment is often neglected until the effect is felt at later time, possibly even years later!
