Sprains and Strains

Strains and sprains often happen when the muscle, tendon, or ligament is pushed beyond its normal limit. These injuries often occur due to fatigue, improper form, or overuse. These issues are often only talked about in athletes however they are very common in the general population. This often happens in the back while lifting, twisting, stretching, or a combination of all three. They can be very painful and if not treated can result in chronic pain. Strains and sprains usually result in misalignment of the spine which chiropractic care can almost always successfully treat. Your treatment will depend on where the pain is located and what may be causing it. Stretching the tissue, pressing on the joints, restoring alignment, and improving range of motion are all techniques that may be used to help you live a healthier pain free life.
