ACTIVE REHAB
Active rehabilitation is comprised of various exercises that are targeted towards addressing stability, proprioception, strength and flexibility and is one of the core treatment approaches used in our office. We understand the importance of not only getting our patients out of pain but also teaching them how to properly use their bodies to get them back to doing what they love while preventing future injuries. Each exercise program is individually tailored to each patient’s unique level and ability. Active rehabilitation will be a life-long tool that each patient can use to take control of any flair ups they might experience in the future.
Active Rehab and Athletic Injuries
Active rehabilitation when used in combination with chiropractic care can be a powerful tool for helping athletes return to play after an injury. Active rehabilitation refers to a series of exercises and movements designed to help an injured athlete regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine.
When these two approaches are combined, they can provide a comprehensive and effective treatment plan for injured athletes. Here are some of the ways that active rehabilitation and chiropractic care can work together to help athletes return to play:
Diagnosis and Treatment: Chiropractors are trained to identify and diagnose musculoskeletal injuries, including those that may not be immediately apparent. By combining their expertise with active rehabilitation techniques, they can provide a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to the athlete's specific needs.
Pain Management: Chiropractic care can help alleviate pain and inflammation, which is often a significant barrier to an athlete's ability to return to play. Active rehabilitation can also help with pain management by providing exercises that promote blood flow and reduce inflammation.
Rehabilitation: Active rehabilitation focuses on restoring function and strength to the injured area. Chiropractic care can complement this process by addressing any underlying mechanical issues that may be contributing to the injury, such as spinal misalignments.
Injury Prevention: By working together, active rehabilitation and chiropractic care can help athletes prevent future injuries by identifying and addressing any biomechanical issues or muscle imbalances that may be contributing to their injury.
Overall, incorporating active rehabilitation with chiropractic care can provide athletes with a comprehensive and personalized approach to injury recovery and prevention. By working together, these two approaches can help athletes return to play with improved function, strength, and mobility, reducing the risk of re-injury and promoting long-term athletic performance.
