Sunny St. Petersburg offers an excellent climate for staying active. Wherever you look throughout the city, athletes of all levels are in action. Whether they’re playing tennis on the courts in North Shore Park or heading to the Vinoy Golf Club, conditions are hard to beat.
But what happens when your physical condition is less than ideal? Aches and strains are apt to pop up when you’re active, no matter how well you train or stretch. When they do, you need to keep them from getting worse. You might think the pinch in your shoulder will go away, but if you ignore it, you affect your chances of returning to the playing field. Sports injuries can include:
- ACL or rotator cuff tears
- Golfer’s or tennis elbow
- Dislocations and sprains
- Concussions
- Shin splints
Untreated, these conditions will eventually keep you from moving with ease. It’s vital to act quickly when an injury occurs, and chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free option.
