Utah Physical Therapy

It might be the fresh powder on the ski slopes or the finish on the basketball court that keeps you going. In either case, sporting injuries to the spine pose a real threat to any individual who enjoys an active and healthy lifestyle.

If not treated properly some sporting injuries will continue to be a problem for many years to come, which is why Utah physical therapy is necessary.

Physical Therapy for Sporting Injuries

Reporting to the emergency room can be the first step in properly addressing a serious sporting injury.

In the emergency room, the doctor will take x-rays and check for fractures or broken bones.

When no fractures are visible the doctor may prescribe medications to help deal with the pain and release you from further treatment.

However, if your treatment stops there, you may be positioning yourself for a lifetime commitment to pain and problems. Instead, begin physical therapy in Utah to avoid continuous pain.

Physical Injury

During a sporting injury the threat of soft-tissue damage is just as great as breaking the bone(s), if not more so. The soft-tissue is the muscle, ligaments and tendons which surround and attach to the bone.

Being that the soft-tissue influences the position of the bone and how the joints are able to move, it can cause a cascade of events which ultimately deform the shape of the spinal disks and put painful pressure on the nerves over time.

To prevent such a scenario from developing, the soft-tissue must also be examined after an injury to ensure proper muscular support for the spine.

High-Tech Physical Therapy

At Alpine Spinal Rehabilitation in Utah, we use high-tech physical therapy MedX equipment, developed by the leading orthopedic surgeons in the country, to diagnose soft-tissue injury caused by a sporting injury within 1% accuracy.

When an injury has resulted in soft-tissue damage, our MedX equipment is also designed to use resistive weight training to repair and restore proper function to the injured tissue.

These important physical therapies are coupled with painless and computerized chiropractic care to help restore motion to any affected joints of the spine and reduce pain levels.
