Importance of Chiropractic in Sports
As a sports chiropractor, Dr. Currie has seen his share of athletic injuries and specializes in sports-related musculoskeletal complaints. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a future PGA golfing star, or a high school athlete, our team is focused on helping you to improve your health through:
- Improving your movements
- Reducing muscular tension
- Strengthening your spine
Sports chiropractic can be preventative and/or interventional. If you have an injury, chiropractic interventions may reduce your pain and help speed up recovery. Importantly, sports chiropractic is most effective when used as soon as possible after an injury.
Preventative sports chiropractic can help you improve your form and conditioning and reduce the risk of a sports-related injury. An athlete’s body is their greatest asset, and it deserves the gold standard of care that Dr. Currie and his team at Highlands Chiropractic provide for Greenville, SC, athletes.
Chiropractic Therapies for Athletes
Our comprehensive list of treatments to assist patients with musculoskeletal conditions includes:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments or spinal manipulations are a therapy used to restore normal function to the spine. When your spine is misaligned, it’s called a vertebral subluxation and these misalignments may cause pain, reduce your range of motion, and apply pressure to the nerves exiting the spine. By restoring spinal alignment with chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Currie reinstates proper nerve flow, reduces pain, and improves overall function and range of motion.
Active Release Technique (ART)
This treatment is a myofascial release technique that utilizes patient movement to treat conditions affecting the nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia. When receiving this treatment, you should expect your chiropractic physician to apply manual pressure to a targeted area while you move through a normal range of motion.
Summus Medical Laser
Cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is focused on reducing pain and inflammation in a targeted area, while simultaneously increasing circulation and shortening the overall healing time. This non-invasive treatment helps you feel and function better, making it beneficial for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, nagging injuries, neuropathy, and arthritic joints.
Graston Technique (GT)
The Graston technique is instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) therapy. GT uses six stainless steel instruments to detect, diagnose, and treat soft tissue dysfunction, especially adhesions/scar tissue.
