Whether it’s running, cycling, swimming, or any of the countless sporting interests that get your blood pumping, a sports injury can be a major setback. No matter if your sport is in the professional or hobby realm, if you’ve ever been hurt while playing a sport, you’ll know that an injury can seriously put you off your game.
Sometimes, rest is all you need to get you back in action. However, other sports injuries require more attention, time, and focus.
At Suncoast Chiropractic we’ve helped lots of patients who are struggling with pain and mobility challenges after a sporting injury. Chiropractic treatment can get you off the sidelines and back in action. So today we’re calling time on suffering in silence.
When good sport leads to bad pain
Involvement in sports training, matches, and fitness routines are all amazing for our cardiovascular and muscular health. However, this can take its toll on our hips and knees and result in back strain.
In the US, football is the sport that causes the most injuries, and there are an estimated 455,449 injuries annually according to studies by the National Safety Council. And the most common. (Did you know NFL teams all have their own Chiropractor?) Next is soccer, followed by basketball, and volleyball. However, you don’t have to be a pro player to injure yourself during sport. The most common types of sports injuries that we encounter at Suncoast Chiropractic are either acute or chronic.
This winter, remember that the cooler winter months can lead to a tightening of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in our back. This makes us more prone to injury and pain.
A sports injury can easily be sustained due to a blow, fall, slip, or twist. We can also injure ourselves when we overuse a particular area of the body. A sports injury can happen suddenly or develop over time.
Chiropractic treatment can benefit a sports enthusiast massively, helping to reduce and relieve stress in the knees, hips, and back. With our help, you’ll be running, jumping, and performing at your best.

If you’re sporty, perhaps you have heard about stimulation therapy.
