If you play sports, an injury can occur at any moment. As a result, you may experience back pain, neck pain, and limited mobility. At Beyond Medical in Walnut Creek, CA, we provide non-invasive treatments to relieve your discomfort and help you return to your active lifestyle.
Common Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can impact various parts of the body, but certain types occur more frequently than others. Some of the most common include:
- Strains and Sprains: These injuries are caused by sudden movements or overuse and affect muscles and ligaments.
- Knee Injuries: Knee injuries, including ACL tears, are common in sports that involve running, jumping, or quick directional changes.
- Shoulder Injuries: Rotator cuff strains and other shoulder issues frequently occur in activities that involve throwing or overhead motions.
- Stress Fractures: Small cracks in the bones typically caused by repetitive activity or overtraining.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, usually resulting from overuse or improper technique.
The Importance of Early Treatment
Early treatment is crucial to prevent further damage and speed up recovery. Ignoring a sports injury can lead to long-term complications, chronic pain, or limited mobility. Prompt care allows for accurate diagnosis, proper healing, and allows you to get back to your activities sooner. It also reduces the risk of re-injury by addressing the root cause of the pain and correcting movement patterns.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your first visit to Beyond Medical begins with a thorough assessment. Our team will ask about your injury, medical history, and activity level. A physical exam will also be performed to help us identify the exact issue, and if needed, we may recommend imaging tests. Based on your condition, we will create a custom treatment plan that may include chiropractic care, physiotherapy, or acupuncture.
