Treating Winter Injuries with Chiropractic Care
Aches, pains, slip and fall injuries, and muscle stiffness are much more common in the winter. This is because people are more likely to suffer from back pain from shoveling snow, joint pain during colder days, and injuries sustained from playing winter sports or walking on icy sidewalks. Chiropractic care can treat common winter injuries and help you get back to living your normal life, pain-free. If you have been Googling “chiropractor near me in Wilmington,” discover how they can help you find relief from these issues:
Back Pain from Shoveling Snow
One of the most common winter injuries seen by health professionals is chronic or recurring back pain from shoveling snow. Using the wrong form, technique, or posture while shoveling snow can result in back pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, neck pain, muscle strain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. Our chiropractor can use chiropractic adjustments to shift your spine back into alignment, and cold laser therapy to reduce pain and inflammation, promote circulation, and restore mobility and range of motion.
Joint Pain on Colder Days
Many people experience worsening joint pain during colder days. Chiropractic care can reduce the strain on your joints by strengthening the surrounding muscles so that they better support your spine. Chiropractic care can also reduce inflammation that causes joint pain and improve your flexibility and mobility so it’s easier to get up and around, even on cold winter days.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall injuries in the snow or on ice can have serious consequences that affect you for months and years. Visiting our chiropractor right after a slip and fall injury can help you heal faster, reduce your pain, and get you back up on your feet. Our chiropractor may combine more than one non-invasive chiropractic treatment to promote healing and lessen your pain, such as chiropractic adjustments, physical rehabilitation, cold laser therapy, and spinal decompression therapy.
