Treating Low Back Pain from Pickleball
Whether you play pickleball multiple times a week or just every few months, you are at risk of developing lower back pain. Repetitive side-to-side movements, as well as twisting, bending, jumping, and running, can place added stress on the lumbar spine. You’re at a higher risk of sports-related low back pain if you have pre-existing injuries or conditions, like arthritis. Discover how our chiropractor can treat low back pain in Fort Lauderdale, FL through chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Adjustments for Low Back Pain
A chiropractic adjustment can correct spinal misalignment that causes low back pain. Our chiropractor will use her hands or an instrument to gently bend, pull, stretch, and massage your limbs, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. These adjustments can relieve pressure on the lower back, reduce pain and inflammation, and make it easier to play sports. Chiropractic adjustments can even improve balance and posture and make game-related falls less likely.
Massage Therapy for Flexibility & Range of Motion
Massage therapy has a lot of benefits that aid in athletic performance. Our chiropractor will knead, rub, push, and massage your muscles and tendons to stimulate blood flow, promote the release of pain killing endorphins, increase flexibility, and improve range of motion. Massage therapy is also relaxing and reduces muscle tension and spasms.
Cold Laser Therapy for Acute Injuries & Chronic Pain
Cold laser therapy can treat acute injuries and chronic pain. Our chiropractor will use a small, hand-held device to direct a safe, low-level laser light to the targeted areas. This laser light stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promotes cell regeneration and wound healing, reduces scar tissue, improves nerve function and vascular activity, and reduces swelling and stiffness.
Lifestyle Modification
In addition to in-office low back pain treatment, our chiropractor will also advise you on maintaining your care at home. She might suggest pregame therapeutic exercises and stretches that you can do at home to treat or reduce your risk of low back pain. She may advise you to sleep more, drink more water, change your diet, take nutritional supplements, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, or make your home or office more ergonomic. These changes will reduce your risk of chronic shoulder pain.
