Recovering from any kind of joint injury is a process—one that involves patience, persistence and effort. While some injuries are merely bumps in the road taking no longer than a few weeks to heal, others are more like potholes, requiring a longer healing period and a more comprehensive treatment or management plan.
Types of Joint Injuries
There are a wide range of joint injuries and conditions, many of which can cause discomfort, swelling, decreased range of motion, stiffness, and weakness in the affected areas. Common joint injuries and conditions include:
- Tennis elbow
- Dislocations (i.e., shoulder, hip)
- Arthritis
- Runner’s knee
- Sprains (i.e., ankle, wrist)
Consider a Customized Recovery Program
Because there are several factors that may influence how an individual can recover from a joint injury, a generic treatment plan may not be the most effective means to achieve healing and recovery. After receiving a proper medical evaluation and care from your trusted health care provider, consider spine and joint recovery programs that have individualized treatment strategies to help you better achieve healing and recovery from your injury.
Treatments in a comprehensive joint injury recovery plan may include:
- Chiropractic care
- Physical therapy
- Trigger point therapy
- Acupuncture
- 3D spinal decompression therapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
What is most beneficial about a customized recovery program is that the plan is designed to best meet your individual needs and goals so that you can achieve optimal results and a greater quality of life.
