Many parents realize that when children participate in sports activities, they gain much more than learning a game, they develop discipline, respect, time management, leadership skills, problem-solving techniques, and, unfortunately, a possible misaligned spine. In some cases, spinal issues that have your child in constant pain may outweigh the positive aspects of youth athletics. Student-athletes can definitely benefit from sports chiropractic care!

Whatever sport your child may be involved in, whether high-impact (such as a wrestler, gymnast, or runner) or low-impact (such as bowling or ping pong), your child will inevitably experience some aches and pains to various levels.

Here is how your student-athlete can benefit from sports chiropractic:

Many people suffer from shoulder pain at some point in their life, a common complaint with various causes. Just as with all other painful conditions, the quicker you receive the appropriate care, the quicker the pain will go away. This means you can get back to your normal daily activities and prevent your pain from becoming a chronic problem.

So what is the main cause of shoulder pain? The most common cause of shoulder pain is rotator cuff tendinitis or bursitis, a condition when rotator cuff tendons become trapped under the bony area in the shoulder, becoming inflamed or damaged.

Other common causes of shoulder pain are:

Neck pain, a common complaint among many people, can range anywhere from a dull and irritating ache to burning, debilitating nerve pain that may radiate down the shoulder and into the arm. There are also many causes of how the pain started and how long it may last. Although most neck pain can improve gradually with mild treatment at home, a licensed and trained neck chiropractor can offer more effective treatment for the cause of your pain.

You may be wondering what is the most common cause of neck pain? Because your neck is flexible and supports the weight of your head, it is vulnerable to injuries and conditions that cause pain and restrict motion. Some of the most common causes of neck pain include:

Studies have shown that many people suffer from pain at some point in their life. Some types of pain can diminish on their own as the body heals itself. However, for many others, their pain seems to never end, interrupting their sleep and possibly affecting their daily activities. Spinal manipulation (also referred to as chiropractic adjustments) is the most common treatment. Ongoing treatment by a chiropractor can provide long-term benefits by manipulating the spine into place and allowing nutrients to flow into the discs and assist with natural healing.

Your chiropractor would like you to understand that the relationship between the body’s structure and its function actually affects your overall health. Spinal manipulation can restore the body to its optimal function.
