Cashel Chiropractic
Sports Chiropractic
Athletes of all types, even weekend warriors, subject their muscles, tendons, and joints to high-impact, repetitive motion and other stress as they practice, train, and compete. These stressors can lead to pain and injury. Dr. Rob Cashel and the rest of the staff at Cashel Chiropractic specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, as well as the prevention of sports-related injuries.
Benefits of Sports Chiropractic
Sports chiropractors can help athletes recover from injuries, prevent further damage, and recover faster. Even if certain parts of the body do not currently cause pain, small issues can create larger functional problems when stressed by repetitive movements.
Dr. Rob of Cashel Chiropractic possesses the sports chiropractic skill and experience, along with the state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment necessary to effectively assess, diagnose, and treat your sports-related injury.
When you visit us for a consultation, we will first ask questions about your injury, current health, health history, as well as your athletic and recovery goals.
Dr. Rob will then examine your posture, balance, flexibility, and range of motion, and may take digital x-rays (if warranted). Then, considering all of the information gathered, will develop a plan tailored to your individual needs and goals will:
- Relieve your pain.
- Shorten your recovery time.
- Improve your posture and balance.
- Increase your flexibility & range of motion.
- Help prevent future sports-related injuries.
- Increase your performance
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about sports chiropractic care:
How Will Cashel Chiropractic Help Me Prevent Future Sports Injuries?
Dr. Rob will carefully and thoroughly assess your muscle and skeletal system to identify any weakness or problem areas that may contribute to a future injury. Once these problem areas are identified, our Lehi, UT, chiropractor will develop a personalized exercise and training regimen designed to correct poor posture and strengthen weak joints and muscles contributing to sports injuries.
Is massage therapy painful?
It’s not unusual to feel some soreness after a massage. This is due to a release of lactic acid in the muscles, but it doesn’t last long. You may also have some discomfort during your massage. This depends on the area we’re working on, any pre-existing pains, and whether the therapist is using too much pressure. You should feel free to ask the therapist to use less pressure at any time if it’s too uncomfortable
How Will Sports Chiropractic Improve My Performance?
Sports chiropractic will improve your performance by keeping joints healthy and free of restrictions, increasing your overall range of motion. This increased range of motion will improve your performance in all types of sports activities.
