Stay Injury-Free this Summer with Chiropractic Care

Summertime can be injury time, according to information from the National Center for Health Statistics. Records show that the risk of swimming, skateboarding, and other types of outdoor injuries is higher when the weather’s at its hottest. 

Here at Synergy Release Sports, our experienced team of chiropractic care specialists works hard to help our patients take charge of their safety and wellness during the summer. 

We earned our reputation as the best chiropractor in Atlanta and Alpharetta by supporting our patients throughout the year, but summer activities tend to draw our patients in even more frequently. 

This month in the blog, we discuss how chiropractic care can help with summer injury prevention and explain why it matters for your whole-person health. 

Why chiropractic care matters this summer 

Summer activities can be hard on your body. From sports to gardening or even just relaxing in a hammock, your body works hard to keep up when it’s hot outside. 

Our team helps you stay safe and healthy using innovative natural techniques. Here’s what we recommend as preventive care this summer. 

Regular checkups

Regular checkups can catch and correct problems before they become serious injuries. Our team screens for injuries and musculoskeletal imbalances and performs immediate corrections if you need them. 

Routine chiropractic adjustments 

Chiropractic adjustments aren’t just for helping you feel better after an injury. They also help keep your spine perfectly balanced to prevent injuries from happening in the first place.

Optimal spinal alignment helps prevent strain on your muscles and joints, which can help you maintain your flexibility and range-of-motion and reduce injury risk.

In addition, chiropractic adjustments support your nervous system, which helps control your joints and muscles. When your nervous system operates properly, you move with peak efficiency and reduce your risk of injury. 

Injury treatment

Injury treatment might not sound like a preventive measure, but the way you recover from an injury can affect your risk of future injuries. Chiropractic care emphasizes true healing using your body’s own natural resources. 

Through chiropractic adjustments, neuromuscular massage, dry needling, microcurrent therapy, and other natural techniques, we stimulate your body’s innate healing mechanisms. This jump-starts recovery after injury and helps ensure you heal fully. 

As anyone who’s been injured knows, you should never return to normal activities unless you’re fully healed. Doing so could lead to another, more serious, injury. Chiropractic care helps you heal right the first time so you can return to activity worry-free. 

How you can help prevent injuries this summer 

Our team recommends a few additional methods of injury prevention that you can put into practice yourself. 

• Warm up and stretch before exercise
• Wear proper protective gear playing sports
• Drink plenty of water when exercising
• If you’re in pain, don’t push through it; stop immediately

Combining your own efforts with chiropractic care at Synergy Release Sports can help you enjoy the summer without missing out on any of the fun.
