Chiropractic Treatment for Sprains and Strains

At Stott Chiropractic Clinic, we offer a range of effective treatments for sprains and strains. Our approach focuses on restoring your body’s natural healing ability and improving your overall well-being. Here are some common chiropractic treatments for these injuries:

1. Manual Adjustments:
   • Chiropractors use gentle, precise adjustments to restore proper alignment to your spine and joints. This can help reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
2. Soft Tissue Therapy:
   • Techniques such as massage and trigger point therapy can help to relax tight muscles and improve blood flow to the injured area.
3. Therapeutic Exercises:
   • Specific exercises can help strengthen weakened muscles, improve flexibility, and restore range of motion.
4. Modalities:
   • Modalities such as ice, heat, and electrical stimulation can help reduce pain and inflammation.
