Chiropractic Care & Sports Injuries in Singapore
Chiropractic treatment in Singapore is a holistic approach to wellness based on the scientific fact that the human body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism and it is differentiated from other forms of medicine because of its hands-on approach to treatment and the belief in the care for the entire body.
This is premised on the fact that the nervous system controls the essential functions of the body, comprising the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Care in Singapore
Chiropractic treatment in Singapore focuses on the relationship between the nervous system with every part of the body, including the muscles, joints, and bones through the spine.
Many people do not understand the critical role that spinal health plays in the proper functioning of not only the musculoskeletal system but the entire body.
Misalignment in the spine also known as subluxation, which is believed to be the sole cause of disease and bodily dysfunction, can occur from trauma and injury in addition to toxins and stress.
Chiropractic care in Singapore is one of many forms of natural health care, specifically a non-invasive, drug-free alternative medicine that helps patients to find relief from a variety of musculoskeletal related pains.
Although chiropractic medicine has been around for thousands of years, it was not until 1980 that chiropractic care was introduced into sports when the first chiropractor was added to the United States Olympic medical team, and ever since then chiropractic practice has become an important part of many medical teams.
Interestingly as chiropractic treatment is fast becoming mainstream, more practitioners are starting to specialize in a variety of treatment methods, which is a relatively new specialty in the field of chiropractic treatment.
Gonstead Chiropractors
Gonstead chiropractors specialize not only in the treatment of musculoskeletal issues but also in the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. Many athletes at different levels seek a Gonstead chiropractor to enhance their training and performance and prevent injury through spinal adjustment techniques, joint adjustment, and mobilization. In fact, athletes can greatly benefit from treatments both before and after the practice.
Gonstead chiropractors are entrusted with treating their patients because they have a vast knowledge of sports and sports-related injuries, this means that they are capable of diagnosing and treating an athlete's body without the use of drugs or invasive surgical procedures. This is important because the typical primary care physician lacks the education to deal with biomechanical and neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction.
Another important area that chiropractic treatment in sports has found great usefulness is in the treatment of retirement age patients who want to maintain their athletic ability by eliminating acute and chronic pain, increasing flexibility, enhancing strength and balance, and improving the overall quality of life.
Additionally, there is a growing demand among younger athletes who benefit from chiropractic treatment in the areas of critical, acute, and emergency care. Chiropractic treatment goes beyond treating athletes, it is about treating the whole person, and it is a comprehensive program aimed at injury avoidance.
Numerous studies support the fact that chiropractic treatment helps athletes achieve an optimal level of performance because chiropractic care is beneficial to professional, amateur, and weekend athletes, maximizing athletic performance, preventing, and managing injuries.
Almost every registered chiropractor in Singapore understands the holistic benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle in everyday living because they are hands-on teachers with in-depth knowledge of human anatomy.
With a non-governmental status with the World Health Organization, the Chiropractic Association became a national constituent member of the World Federation of Chiropractic in 1989. As the number of members grew, additional chiropractic clinics were established in the 1990s.
Since then chiropractic practice in Singapore has matured with an improved level of professionalism in chiropractic treatment as seen anywhere else in the world.
