Sports & Auto Injury Treatment

A Sports Injury or Auto Injury is very frustrating because symptoms often increase over time. With impact like a concussion from heading a soccer ball or whiplash from getting rear ended there may be sudden pain locally, but that pain grows and spreads over time with inflammation. Even something simple like a sprained ankle from running will affect the knee, the hips, even as far up to the neck. All these tissues will respond with inflammation and pain and adapt to the main injury with tight muscles.

A car accident chiropractor or sports injury chiropractor must be a holistic chiropractor. Sacro Occipital Technique provides a whole-body approach to sports and auto injury treatment.
