Treatments From A Houston Sports Chiropractor

Our sports chiropractor in Houston offers different treatments based on the severity of the injuries and the type of injuries that you sustain on a court or field. At our clinic, we offer a variety of natural tools that help with recovery.

The Graston Technique uses a tool or device to gently mobilize and treat injuries to the muscles and soft tissues of the body. It addresses injuries from sprains, strains, and similar muscle injuries.

Ultrasound therapy in our clinic uses gentle force to encourage healing after an injury. The gentle energy from the ultrasound machine heats the injured area without using harsh treatments. It is ideal for sprains and strains in the muscles, as well as injuries to certain joints.

Cold laser therapy, which is also called infrared heat therapy, uses an infrared laser to encourage healing in the muscles, joints, and nerves. Since it works deep into the body, it helps with a variety of different injuries.

Myofascial release therapy in our clinic uses light pressure on the myofascial tissues in the shoulders. We identify stiff and injured tissues in the area and gently work on improving the mobility of the tissues for healing and recovery.

Hot and cold packs are a simple part of the healing process. Shortly after an injury, our Houston sports chiropractor uses hot and cold packs to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain. We alternate the packs based on the needs of your body. We also use the hot and cold packs at later times when we notice swelling in the injured area.
