Sports
Injury
Pain
and
injuries
have
been
close
teammates
from
the
very
beginnings
of
athletic
games.
In
fact,
many aspects
of "sports
medicine" were
founded
in
ancient
times
for
the
treatment
of
broken
bones
and
chronic pain
resulting
from
sports
contests.
Nohner
Family
Chiropractic
and
Massage
has
served
as
treatment
specialists
and
consultants
for
sports injuries
to
nearly
every
age
group.
Both
male
and
female
athletes
are
equally
prone
to
pain
and
injury. Nohner
Family
Chiropractic
and
Massage
considered
a
"
primary
source" for
evaluations
and
treatment
by
many local
schools,
colleges
and
universities.
As
athletic
activity
and
strenuous
competition
become
more
and
more
a
part
of
modern
life
style,
injuries keep
pace.
We
have
broadened
our
specialized
services
to
meet
these
challenges
and
provide
the
exact professional
skills
required
in
treating
areas
of
sports
conditioning
and
physical
therapy.
After
a history
is
compiled
and
a
physical
exam
conducted, then
treatment
can
begin
with
a
carefully
monitored
recovery
program.
Beginning
with
the
earliest
stages
of
team
sports,
participants
suffer
minor
injuries,
bruises
and contusions.
Serious
damage
to
the
body
is
fortunately
rare
at
initial
levels
of competition
but
the
basis for
pain
is
soon
established.
As
sports
move
into
more
strenuous
and
advanced
phase's
injuries
accumulate.
When
a "contact
sport" such
as
football
beckons
then
injury
becomes
a "team
mate." Pain
from
bruises
and
muscle
strain
is
routine
in
all
youthful
games
and
sports
contests.
Sports
injuries
have
a
cumulative
effect
on
the
body, too.
They
often
involve
repetitious
stress
and
strain, "
tennis
elbow" for
instance.
Such
pain
becomes
part
of
the
sport.
Treatment
based
on
exact
knowledge
with
long-term
guidance
is
then
the
key
to
participation. And,
that's
when
visits
to
our
team
of
specialists
are
regularly
scheduled.
Massage
therapy
by
certified
practitioners
is
often
a
key
to
proper
care.
The
list
of
strenuous
sports
is
familiar
to
most
of
us
and
all
seem
to
produce
injuries
to
match
the
skills required.
Football
and
basketball
are
noted
for
damage
to
knees,
joints
and
upper-spine.
And,
although football
teams
have
tried
hard
to
protect
participants
with
pads
and
helmets,
serious
injuries
still
occur and
concussions
are
not
uncommon.
Without
enumerating
the
specific
injuries
associated
with
every
sport
it's apparent
that
such
potentials
are
always
present.
Whenever
a
sports
injury
occurs
that
involves
the nervous
system,
specialized
training
and
experience
is
critical.
These
injuries
would
include
suspected
damage
to
joints,
the
head,
and
the
spine.
Even
soft
tissue
such
as
muscles
and
tendons
are
subject
to
serious
injury
in
contact
sports
arid
examination
by
a
sports
injury
treatment
specialist
should
be
scheduled,
The
potentials
for
chronic
pain
are
always
present
and
only
professional
evaluation
with
planned
treatment
can
enable
the
body
to
heal.
Nearly
all
health
authorities,
physicians,
and
physical
therapists
are
in
agreement
that
exercise
is vital
to
our
body's
well
being.
Yet,
all
must
be
alert to
possible
injuries
when
we
exceed
our
personal
levels
of
participation.
As
we
age,
this
becomes
more and
more
important.
Consultation
with
one
of
our
specialists
can
be
invaluable
in
setting
realistic goals
and
maintaining
them.
If
a
problem
then
arises
our
staff
will
treat
the
cause
and
not
just
the symptoms.
If
you
and
your
family
are
sports
participants
it's
critical
that
you
familiarize
yourself
