Written By Marshall Family Chiropractic on April 10, 2023

child sport injuries

If your child plays sports, it’s very important to ensure that he uses correct form, appropriate safety equipment, and has instruction in injury prevention. A pediatric chiropractor can provide overall wellness care for your child, as well as assist with treating sports injuries, preventing future injuries, and improving your child’s strength, balance, and flexibility. Learn more about how chiropractic care can help manage student athletes’ health.

Sports Injury Prevention

Our pediatric chiropractor can prevent sports injuries from occurring by ensuring your child maintains proper balance, posture, and alignment. Chiropractic adjustments and chiropractic care can improve balance and posture, as well as strengthen the muscles supporting the spine. This means your child will be stronger and more flexible while playing sports, and injuries will be less likely. 

Quickly Evaluate and Treat Sports Injuries

If you suspect your child has suffered from a sports injury, you don’t want to have to take him to a hospital emergency room, where you’ll wait for hours. Our pediatric chiropractor can quickly evaluate your child onsite, and has access to diagnostic tools like x-rays, MRIs, and CT scans that can uncover hidden injuries. Our pediatric chiropractor will then design a customized chiropractic treatment plan that same day, which will minimize pain and inflammation, improve range of motion and mobility, and promote healing so your child can get back on his feet as soon as possible. 

Offer Non-Invasive Treatment

Pediatric chiropractic care is safe, effective, and non-invasive. This means that the chiropractor will find the least dangerous, least invasive treatment method, rather than immediately recommending surgery. Chiropractors also avoid recommending dangerous prescription painkillers, and instead use all-natural, alternative medicine pain management and pain relief techniques.
