A football player tackling another football playerAthletes at all levels understand that a sports injury can keep you away from practice, training, and playing the game you love. Proper sports injury recovery includes rest, strength training, injury rehabilitation, and injury prevention. At Belleview Spine and Wellness, our chiropractor Dr. Donald Gibson has extensive experience evaluating and treating sports injuries in Greenwood Village, CO. Dr. Gibson and his team will design a personalized sports injury treatment plan that will help you get back in the game faster.

Chiropractic Adjustments

The goal of chiropractic adjustments is to relieve spinal dysfunction that could be affecting other areas of your body. Dr. Gibson will apply manual force to your spine, limbs, joints, or muscles to realign the spine and correct imbalances. This will restore range of motion and enhance flexibility and mobility, as well as relieving pain, inflammation, and swelling. Chiropractic adjustments can also improve posture and balance and improve circulation and blood flow to the injured area to accelerate healing.

Therapeutic Exercises and Stretches

Dr. Gibson and his team will design a personalized program for you. This will include therapeutic exercises and stretches you will complete at home. These exercises will improve your flexibility, range of motion, and mobility. By strengthening and lengthening your muscles, ligaments, and tendons, you will be more limber and flexible.

Strength Training

We will also focus on building core strength post-injury. Building core strength will ensure you have the support you need to get back in the game and recover your endurance, strength, and performance. A strong core will also lower your risk of future sports injuries.

Diet and Nutrition Counseling

Dr. Gibson can also assess your diet and screen you for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies. He can help you create the perfect diet for your age, overall health, and level of athletic performance. The right diet will accelerate healing and give your body the fuel it needs to succeed in the game and during practice and training.

Injury Prevention

We will also help you avoid future injuries. Trying to get back in the game before you are fully healed will increase your risk of re-injury. We will help you restore strength and improve overall wellness so that you are less likely to suffer from future sports injuries.
