Sports massage may seem like it is only applicable to athletes, when in fact, it is much more practical than many believe. While it helps those, who do play sports it can also help those who want to improve their bodies overall function and performance or even get healthier as an individual.

Athletically speaking, the sports massage can reduce athletic injuries that many people who play sports will be exposed to. By increasing the range of motion and becoming a catalyst for muscle growth and repair post-workout, the body is able to gain more muscle from working out. However, the massage will also reduce the recovery time after a workout and even post-injury by relaxing the muscles and directing better blood flow into the damaged areas of the body while also acting as a great pain management/reliever from the injury itself.

These massages benefit more than just athletes. While they may provide great support for athletic training and rehabilitation, they also provide improved physical and mental health. Mentally, massages improve the mood, reduce anxiety, and even stabilize stress hormones in the body. By doing this, the person who is getting the massage is becoming clearer mentally and will perform better in sports or even in everyday life at work. In addition, the massage promotes improved cardiovascular health by allowing an easier flow of blood throughout the body, and therefore, lowering the risk of blood clots and damaged veins. Massage can also help people experiencing chronic pain or even unbearable pain that makes everyday life more difficult.

The reason chiropractors are so successful is that they are able to realign the vertebral column, and pair that manipulation with additional therapies to ease the tension in injured muscles or tendons. This two-pronged approach uses both soft tissue work (massage), and spinal adjustments, in order to be most successful. In most cases, after a traumatic experience such as a car accident, joints and soft tissue become inflamed as a way for the body to protect itself. This inflammation can lead to a decreased range of motion. Chiropractors focus on restoring this range of motion, which in turn, will decrease your pain. It may seem like a simple concept, but it’s essential to the healing process after an injury to the body.

The most important thing to remember about chiropractic treatment is that it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Trust your doctor and know that the process will be worth the effort. And, most chiropractic therapies require massage treatments (for the soft tissue work), so that’s a bonus!

If you’ve ever been in a car accident, you know how jarring that experience can be. The best case scenario is that you walk away feeling a little shaken up, but mostly ok. Major accidents, however, will lead to more serious bodily injury, and a misalignment of the skeletal structure. What many people might not realize is that the impact of even the most minor fender benders can have serious effects on your internal structure, leading to whiplash, lower back injuries, muscle or ligament tears and overall vertebral misalignment. You may not feel these injuries right away, usually due to all of the adrenaline in your system, or if you do feel it, you may expect the aches and pains to go away – however, some of these injuries could be very serious, and if left untreated, lead to significant physical limitations later in life.

So how exactly can chiropractic manipulation help? Chiropractors specialize in providing treatment to the musculoskeletal system without the use of risky drugs and invasive surgery. The main intention behind chiropractic care is to restore joint mobility and range of motion, whether an injury has occurred, or everyday life’s got you out of whack. continued...

IN THE CASE OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT
Under the Florida Personal Injury Protection law, or PIP, you are most likely provided with $10,000 worth of medical expense and fee coverage if you find yourself injured in a car accident — even if you were the driver at fault.

Following a car accident, contact me or your primary care physician within 14 days in order to manage any resulting pain or misalignments.

In this case, the PIP funds you receive would help you cover the medical cost of visiting your chiropractor.

Ultimately, pain is not something you have to live with — nor is it something you should have to break the bank over. If you believe chiropractic care would be to your benefit, be sure to contact Sunrise Body Revival Chiropractic and Medspa. We’re here to help you alleviate pain, prevent injury, and optimize your health.
