Westminster Sports Injury Chiropractor Helps You Get Back in the Game

When sports injuries have you sidelined, Fox Chiropractic can help you get back in the game. Our Westminster sports injury chiropractor offers an array of treatments to alleviate injury pain and help with your body’s natural healing process. These include decompression therapy, physical therapy, and vibrational plate training treatment, a relatively new but highly effective method for recovery and performance enhancement. Our chiropractors Dr. Derek Fox, Dr. Audrey Fox, and Dr. Lindsey Green have long been treating the Westminster and Bloomfield communities to maximum health and wellness care.

Decompression Therapy, Physical Therapy and Vibrational Plate Training Treatment

Physical and decompression therapy can both assist with a rapid recovery from sports injury, while vibrational plate training adds another layer of effectiveness to our treatment programs. Decompression therapy has been effective for treating neck, upper and low back pain due to an injury that impacted the spine. Our chiropractors perform gentle manipulation of the spine and decompression of the discs to alleviate pain and restore your spine to its natural range of motion and alignment. Physical therapy involves specialized exercises meant to strengthen and maintain mobility of the injured area to restore full functionality and prevent future injuries in the same location.

Our vibrational plate training has also had a high rate of success in both healing injuries and improving fitness and athletic performance. Patients stand atop a vibrating platform while performing exercises they normally would, whether it be for strength, fitness or physical therapy purposes, with the vibration set between 20 and 50 Hz. Although you may not feel the difference while you are performing exercises standing on the vibrating plate, the vibrations are increasing your blood flow and making your muscles work harder that they would without the additional movement. Muscles fibers that normally stay dormant during such exercises are suddenly mobile, energized, and contracting more quickly than they would without the additional vibration.

The increased blood flow and movement can help your body recover more quickly from musculoskeletal injuries as well as contribute to your overall wellness. Benefits of vibrational plate training include increased muscle flexibility, strength and lean muscle mass, a higher density of bone minerals, and a quicker recovery time following your workouts. It can also decrease neck, upper and low back pain as well as overall pain in your joints and muscles. Our sports injury chiropractor has found vibrational plate training to be a valuable mode of treatment not only for athletes but for anyone who wants to reap the benefits.

Our Westminster and Bloomfield chiropractor begins each visit with a thorough examination and evaluation to devise a personalized treatment plan to best treat sports or any other injuries. Our wellness care follows the same methodology, taking into account your current age, gender, health issues and fitness level to help you achieve the maximum health you deserve.
