Pro Athletes Are Not the Only People Who Receive the Best Sports Care and Rehab
SCOTTSDALE, AZ–(Marketwire – July 6, 2010) – Today the recreational athlete has access to quality sports care and rehabilitation. With a foundation of chiropractic, the prevention and maintenance of sports related injuries is moving to higher levels. Practitioners offer a variety of techniques to assist the individual as a complete physical system, rather than trying to fix an isolated condition.
Dr. Wendy Weisflog, D.C., C.C.S.P., chosen as a “Top Doctor of 2009” by Phoenix Magazine, operates the Arizona Sports & Rehabilitation Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. She takes an advanced approach by introducing a variety of treatment options. “We don’t stop with the traditional chiropractic approach,” claims Dr. Weisflog. “We work with the complete individual, providing the right combination of treatments and focused lifestyle guidance. We help our patients not only deal with nagging physical problems, but set them up for long-term success.”
Chiropractic deals with the structure of the body, with an emphasis on the spine. Manipulation or “adjustment” of the spine and skeletal structure is used to realign and relieve nerve interference or other malfunction. Spinal and joint alignment is the essential building block of resolving chronic injury.
Chiropractic is accepted as a viable approach, especially in sports medicine. In a 2002 study, 31% of NFL teams use chiropractors in an official capacity as part of their staffs, with trainer referrals to chiropractors approaching 77%.
Following chiropractic treatment, a prescribed course of activity allows the body to return to normal movement without causing further damage. Various forms of massage relax muscles and soft-tissue, allowing skeletal adjustments to be sustained. Length of treatment depends on severity of the injury and the patient’s condition. At the appropriate time, exercise and strength training may be introduced to help the individual return to normal activity.
At Arizona Sports & Rehabilitation Center, the patient is encouraged to make lifestyle changes to avoid continuing aggravation. The recreational athlete benefits from the professionals that treat them, because the pros demand the best. Dr. Weisflog states, “We use a variety of programs depending on the attitude, commitment and needs of our clients. Some find acupuncture helpful, while others respond to E-Stim therapy, which involves mild electrical stimulation. Also, we give them a maintenance program which usually involves stretching and age-appropriate exercise, so they won’t need a long-term rehabilitation period.”
Today’s amateur athlete has a wide range of top level options, all geared to getting back in the game, quickly and easily. For more information: www.azsportsrehab.com
