Crossfit Injuries

Crossfit Injuries: CrossFit is a type of exercise that involves rapid and successive high-intensity, ballistic movements. It has become a popular fitness option. People who participate in this type of training may experience tightness in their muscles and joints more quickly than in any other sports. This can make them be at risk for injury, including sciatica. And, as with any fitness regimen and despite doing everything a trainer tells you to do and doing it correctly; injuries can and do occur. Chiropractic care provides patients the ability to release stress and recover quickly. Injury rates with CrossFit training seem to be similar to those reported for a variety of other sports, such as weightlifting, powerlifting, and gymnastics. The most common type of injuries is spine and shoulder injuries, including sciatica. Patients in training that receive chiropractic care before and after training sessions have better results when it comes to injuries, as chiropractors can help diagnose underlying health issues. A doctor of chiropractic can explain to athletes what CrossFit exercises to modify or steer clear of to prevent injury. A chiropractor can customize exercises to help correct dysfunctional movements for optimal performance.
