Understanding Soft Tissue Injuries in Athletes
Maintaining soft tissue health is crucial for athletes at any level. Chiropractic soft tissue work is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to addressing soft tissue issues. At Premier Chiropractic and Performance, our chiropractor Dr. Nicholas Schumacher works closely with his team to treat and prevent soft tissue injuries in Jacksonville, FL, commonly experienced by athletes like sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. By preventing injuries, improving core strength, and restoring overall health and wellness, Dr. Schumacher and his team can improve your overall athletic performance.
Chiropractic Insights Into Soft Tissue Treatment
Our team takes a holistic approach towards treating soft tissue injuries. Chiropractic care utilizes the body’s natural ability to heal itself, rather than relying on prescription medications, invasive procedures, or risky treatments. We take a whole-body approach to care and find solutions that improve your physical, mental, and emotional health.
Manual Techniques for Soft Tissue Healing
Before we design a chiropractic treatment plan, we will assess your overall health, discuss your lifestyle and goals, and run diagnostic testing to evaluate your injuries. Our manual soft tissue therapies include:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Therapeutic massage
- Therapeutic exercises and stretches
- Drug-free pain management
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Our chiropractic adjustments are performed using a process called instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, or IASTM. IASTM is a method of myofascial intervention that uses a small, hand-held instrument to target areas of pain and tension in the myofascial tissues.
The Integration of Stretching and Exercise
Therapeutic exercises and stretches can relieve pain and inflammation, improve circulation, restore flexibility and mobility, and strengthen the core muscles that support movement. We will teach you targeted stretches and exercises that you can do at home to support your long-term recovery.
Preventive Soft Tissue Care for Athletes
Dr. Schumacher and his team also offer injury prevention education to reduce your risk of future soft tissue injuries or sports injuries. We may recommend that you make key lifestyle changes to support your future health.
Collaboration With Sports Medicine Professionals
Dr. Schumacher and his team collaborate freely with other sports medicine professionals to design comprehensive treatment plans that optimize soft tissue health. We believe it’s important to continue learning and growing as healthcare professionals, so we stay on top of the latest trends, research, and advancements in the industry.
