Tips to Prevent Sports Injuries in Tracy, Mountain House & Manteca

Playing a sport provides physical activity and helps maintain a healthy body, but it also increases the risk of a sports injury. While the exact injuries associated with a specific sport depend on the level of physical contact, individuals want to take measures to prevent injuries and encourage healing when accidents occur.

Common Sports Injuries

Injuries associated with sports depend on the type of activity; however, certain injuries occur in many situations. The injuries that often occur while playing a sport include:

• Concussion
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Tendonitis
• Strained or sprained muscles

Physiotherapy and chiropractic care help address the injuries and encourage healing, but individuals also want to prevent injuries in the future. Our chiropractors in Tracy, Mountain House and Manteca provide personalized recommendations and suggestions based on the severity of injuries and the situation.

Simple Preventative Solutions

Preventing injuries while playing a sport does not necessarily require complicated exercises. Generally, individuals limit the risk through careful management of the body.

Always wear appropriate protective gear that fits your body. Protective gear reduces the risk of injuries like a concussion by protecting the head and body.

Take time to stretch and follow any recommendations provided during physiotherapy for stretching and exercise. 

Talk to one of our chiropractors at our Tracy, Mountain House and Manteca office before starting the season. A chiropractor in our clinic evaluates your movements, overall health and the potential problems with your movements. When necessary, seek chiropractic care to address problems with your posture or physical techniques that increase your risk of injuries.
