Sports Injuries Can Cause Hidden Damage

Injuries sustained during contact sports like football or basketball can result in more than just immediate pain. Often, the most serious effects—such as headaches, vertigo, or neck pain—may not appear until days later. Even if you feel fine after a game or practice, it’s wise to take preventive action. Scheduling a visit with Dr. Michael McCall can help detect and treat issues before they become long-term problems. Early chiropractic care can make a significant difference in your recovery and overall wellness.

Common Complications of Sports Injuries

Sports-related injuries frequently lead to a range of complications, including:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Joint dislocations
  • Muscle swelling
  • Headaches
  • Neck pain
  • Vertigo

Dr. McCall specializes in treating these injuries using gentle, non-invasive chiropractic techniques. These methods are often effective in reducing or even eliminating pain—without the need for surgery. With the right chiropractic adjustments, many patients experience significant relief and faster healing.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sports Injuries

Persistent symptoms such as headaches or neck pain may signal a deeper issue. Dr. McCall typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation, which may include diagnostic testing to better understand the cause of your discomfort. Treatment options often involve spinal manipulation or adjustment to restore proper alignment, relieve nerve pressure, and improve overall spinal function.

Chiropractic care can also be highly effective for certain types of vertigo, especially cervicogenic vertigo, which stems from neck injuries and can send incorrect signals to the brain, causing dizziness or a spinning sensation. Dr. McCall uses specialized techniques to address both neck-related and inner ear-related vertigo, helping patients regain balance and stability.
