Sports Injuries

When it comes to recovering from a sports-related injury, we know that your goal isn’t just to relieve the pain temporarily, you want to kick it for good. Dr. Christopher Brill helps patients reach that goal through various chiropractic procedures that not only heal pain, but help prevent any further injury from occurring.

 

It doesn’t matter if you are a professional athlete or just someone who likes to exercise; Dr. Brill has the tools necessary to fix any number of sports-related injuries. Many studies have shown that chiropractic care is able treat an injured athlete more effectively that a medical doctor. Unlike a medical doctor, chiropractors are trained to see the human body as one entity rather than seeing one injury at a time. This allows chiropractors to have a better understanding of the body as a whole, leading to less recurring injuries in the future.

 

There a number of injuries associated with athletes. According to the American Chiropractic Association, the most commonly injured areas of the body are the ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows and spine. Spinal injuries are by far the most concerning. The Global Burden of Disease 2010 did a study that showed that lower back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Spinal injuries are very treatable, especially with a chiropractor.

 

Without doubt, competing athletes or even the weekend warrior who wants to be at their very best should consider regular chiropractic care for the competitive edge. Not only will it help the body function at an improved level, chiropractic care is good for overall health. Through chiropractic manipulations, Dr. Brill can increase blood flow for quicker post-performance relief, decrease stress and improve the immune system.

Can Chiropractic Treat Colic?

Defined as a condition where well-fed infants cry inconsolably for more than three hours a day, for more than three days a week, for more than three weeks, colic is a condition with no known common cause. Typically affecting 10 to 20 percent of babies between three weeks and three months old, it could be caused by an intestinal gas or an obstruction in the intestines, reflux, hypersensitivity, an intense temperament or an immature nervous system. If your baby has colic, he or she will often have a piercing cry, flexed legs, tensed muscles and clenched fingers.

While there is not one single cause of colic, research has shown that chiropractic can benefit colicky babies no matter the cause of his or her condition. Chiropractic can have a greater impact than medication, dietary changes and infant positioning. Several studies have established spinal adjustments as an effective method for relieving colic after only a few sessions, and Dr. Christopher Brill is able to help you and your baby find relief in Newport News, VA.

At our office, the chiropractor provides conservative, gentle and successful adjustments that are not only safe but incredibly beneficial for infants with colic.
