Chiropractic Care for Sprain & Strain Injuries
There are a number of different ways that our team can help you heal from your sprain or strain injury. We will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the severity and location of your injury as well as your unique needs and preferences.
One of the most common ways we treat sprains and strains is with chiropractic adjustments. These gentle yet effective adjustments can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness while also promoting healing. On top of that, depending on your injury, we may help with certain stretching exercises to help with your healing process as well as strengthen the injured ligaments and surrounding tissue.
Sprained Ankle Treatment in St. Louis
The most common type of sprain is with your ankle. This is because the ankle is constantly in motion and supports a lot of weight, making it more susceptible to injury. As you walk, run, exercise, or play sports, there is the risk of your ankle bending incorrectly causing the ligaments to stretch too far or even tear.
If you sustain a sprained ankle, our team can help. We will start by doing a thorough evaluation to determine the severity of your ankle injury and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. This may include chiropractic adjustments, stretches, and exercises. We will also provide guidance on how to best care for your sprained ankle at home between visits. This commonly includes a combination of ice/heat applications as well as elevation to help reduce swelling.
If you have sustained a sprain or strain injury, don’t wait to seek treatment. The sooner you can start your treatments and care for your ankle, the faster and easier recovery can be.
