Sports & Performance Injury Physical Therapy in Peoria

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

If you track any professional sports team — maybe the Cardinals or the Cubs, for those of you here in Peoria — you understand that injuries are fairly common throughout the professional sports world. Strength training, cardio, practices, and games all add up to a lot of work that an athlete pushes their body through, and all that work can eventually lead to issues. Of course, sports injuries are not limited to professional athletes. They are just as common among adolescent athletes and adults who play for fun.

The term “shin splints” can bring up some very visceral images for any athlete. While shin splints are an unpleasant feeling, pulled muscles and torn tendons are even worse. Athletes of all types work their bodies hard, and that hard work can translate into damage to muscles and joints. Heating, icing, and stretching are a good start toward caring for hard-working muscles, but that may not always be enough to prevent injury. Senara Health and Healing Center & Spa specializes in sports injury prevention and healing through physical therapy, ensuring pain reduction, improved joint mobility, and enhanced performance.

Physical Therapy for Athletes

Muscle injuries are common among athletes striving to balance improvement and avoiding overexertion. Dr. Kramer, an athlete himself, prioritizes injury prevention and healing. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in joint care, supporting tissues, and muscle health. Our techniques focus on aligning bones and joints, enhancing flexibility, and strengthening the body's framework. The goal is to reduce injury risks, promote joint health, and improve strength. Combined with chiropractic care, physical therapy offers a performance boost. Schedule a consultation at our Peoria wellness clinic to discuss your medical history and training regimen for personalized treatment.

Injury Prevention Assistance

There is a reason physical therapists work so frequently with athletes, and it’s not just because injuries are so common. Physical therapy provides well-rounded care for joints as well as the supporting tissue and musculature. At Senara in Peoria, our techniques are designed to help adjust misaligned bones and joints, which helps them function properly and minimize potential joint damage. In addition to the joints themselves, many of our physical therapy techniques also help improve flexibility and strengthen the body’s muscle framework, especially throughout your back and neck. The ultimate goal is to keep your bones properly aligned and encourage joint health, as well as improve strength in injured areas. When your skeletal and nervous systems are working together properly, this can help reduce the risk of injury and even help you grow stronger. 

If you wish to help improve your performance, no matter what your athletic venture, physical therapy techniques, especially when combined with chiropractic care, may offer the boost your body needs. Start by scheduling a consultation at our Peoria wellness clinic and be prepared to discuss both your medical history and your training regimen so our doctor can decide on the best course of treatment for your needs.
