Sports Pain Relief Management, Treatment and Therapy are engaged in the care of athletes with athletic trainers, conditioning trainers and physiotherapists in the US. Sports Pain Relief treatment is described as non-invasive and can include joint manipulations as well as recommendations for exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility and range of motion to lead to a significant improvement in athlete performance.
Musculoskeletal problems - Pain Management
Athletes are usually overworking themselves by daily practice and competition, so their body is at high risk of injury. Sports Chiropractors specialize in the prevention and care of musculoskeletal injuries. Athletes normally subject their bodies to strenuous exercises that often cause muscle and body pains. These physically straining activities can create spinal alignment and movement problems. With sports chiropractic care, the athlete does not have to live with chronic pains anymore.
In professional sports, 30 teams in Major League Baseball (MLB) and all 32 teams in National Football League (NFL) officially hire a chiropractor as part of the team to care for the athlete. Chiropractor are also included on the US medical team for Olympic Games.
