weight lifting & Crossfit INjury recovery

In Henderson, Nevada

Weightlifting and CrossFit both use loaded (weighted barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, etc.) primary movement patterns. Primary patterns are the squat, dead-lift, press, pull, and reciprocal patterns of human movement. These patterns are important in athletic development, rehabilitation of injuries and everyday activities or activities of daily living (ADLs)s. It is imperative that these movements are done well and often. Breakdown occurs when the form of these movements is not perfect from injury, compensation, bad habits, muscular imbalances, improper programming, “over-training” etc.

As we age, we began to lose range of motion or flexibility in very specific predictable areas, ankles, hips, and upper back or the thoracic spine. As a result of this stiffness, other areas began to move more than normal in order to compensate for the lack of flexibility. This added movement is often responsible for injuries like a torn rotator cuff and or labrum of the shoulder and or hip, or knee meniscus injuries. These injuries need treatment and more importantly, the areas that lost range of motion need to be addressed as well, otherwise, the problem will not be fixed and it will come back. Our Henderson chiropractors will get you back on track in no time.

Our chiropractors are known for treating weightlifting injuries. Many of the most common injuries we see affect the joints and soft-tissue structures near the joints. Chiropractic doctors Las Vegas can be used to rehabilitate weightlifting injuries. If you have joints that are misaligned, they are at an increased risk for injury, getting the necessary adjustments can ensure that your body has the proper mechanical balance, which will reduce the risk of common weightlifting and CrossFit injuries. Depending on the type of injury and its severity, our chiropractors may offer other treatment options such as heat/cold therapy, exercise, massage, electrical muscle stimulation, or a wide range of other physical therapy techniques.

Weightlifters and CrossFitters alike should try to find a chiropractor that has experience working with athletes like ours do. Our chiropractors have this experience and are familiar with treating the types of injuries that are common in these sports.

Once the problem has been examined, diagnosed, and treated, we can design a rehab program or offer advice on form modifications and exercise programming.
