When to Visit a Chiropractor for a Sports Injury
While some sports injuries may eventually heal on their own, you can speed up your healing process by visiting Dr. Tran. We will design a personalized rehabilitation plan that promotes natural healing, relieves pain, improves strength and endurance, enhances flexibility, and reduces the risk of future injuries. If you don’t undergo sports injury treatment, it’s possible that your injury will become worse over time or you will suffer from complications that affect your ability to train, affect your performance, or increase your chance of future injury.
