Many athletes will experience some form of pain, swelling, or bruising from an injury. Immobility is another common problem, especially if one of the limbs has been injured.

4: What are some effective treatments for injuries?

A chiropractic session will likely start with a diagnostic screening to investigate any underlying conditions. Your chiropractor might ask questions about how the accident happened and what kind of symptoms you are experiencing during the consultation. Once a diagnosis is reached, the chiropractor will recommend a treatment plan that's personalized to meet your needs. Physical therapy and corrective exercise are often common methods for injury rehabilitation.
