Sports Injury Care in Beaufort
Whether you’re a weekend golfer, dedicated runner, or competitive athlete, your body’s ability to move efficiently through its full range of motion directly impacts your performance and injury risk. Sports chiropractic care focuses not only on recovering from injuries but on preventing them and helping you perform at your highest level.
Performance Enhancement Through Proper Alignment
When all joints of the body, including the spine and extremities, are properly aligned and moving freely, the muscular system can work more efficiently. This means better performance whether you’re swinging a golf club, lifting weights, running distance, or participating in high intensity interval training.
Beaufort Chiropractor Dr. Michael McKelvey has specialized training in adjusting all joints of the body, from shoulders and elbows to hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Regular adjustments help ensure that each joint maintains its full range of motion, reducing strain on surrounding muscles and tendons while optimizing your body’s natural movement patterns.
Addressing Injuries at the Root Cause
When injuries do occur, many are actually the result of existing misalignments that created abnormal stress on muscles, tendons, or ligaments. By correcting these underlying issues first, the body can heal in a properly aligned position, reducing the likelihood of re-injury and chronic problems.
Treatment for sports related concerns includes:
- Adjustments to restore proper joint alignment throughout the body
- Post-isometric relaxation techniques for muscle rehabilitation
- Soft tissue work to address trigger points and muscle imbalances
- Targeted exercises to strengthen supporting structures
- Guidance on preventing future injuries
Common conditions addressed include tendonitis, muscle strains, joint sprains, and overuse injuries affecting shoulders, knees, ankles, and other areas stressed during athletic activity.
