TREATMENT FOR SPORTS INJURIES AT HEALTH FIRST CHIROPRACTIC
SPEED RECOVERY TIME
At Health First Chiropractic Altoona, our doctors use a variety of techniques to promote rapid healing and pain relief including:
- Decompression: This technique is used to gently stretch sections of the back or neck in order to alleviate pain and increase range of motion.
- Massage Therapy: Best when used in conjunction with chiropractic care. This type of therapy can reduce muscle spasms, restore flexibility to tight muscles, ligaments and tendons. It can also help break apart scar tissue and decrease healing times by improving circulation to injured tissues.
- Ultrasound Therapy/ Electric Muscle Stimulation: Reduce pain, improve circulation, while also relaxing the muscles.
- RockTape: Reduces muscle fatigue, promotes proper form and increases blood flow, all of which help to enhance athletic performance.
NON-INVASIVE AND DRUG FREE
Pain medications mask the pain rather than curing the underlying condition. Not only do they carry the risk of addiction, they don't help the body heal any quicker. Call our chiropractors in Altoona to see what we can do for you!
