Chiropractic for Sports Injury Back Pain In Schaumburg
Schaumburg, IL Back Pain Treatment
We see many people with back pain in our Schaumburg, IL chiropractic practice, and we have great success in getting our patients out of pain. With an estimated 80 percent of the population dealing with some type of back issue at least once in their lives, there’s a good likelihood that the same (if not higher) statistic applies to those who play sports. However, when an athlete experiences back pain, the effects are usually compounded because this typically means that he or she will be unable to play their sport of choice—and if they do, they could end up in greater pain as a result.
In a piece published in the journal Sports Health, several studies were reviewed and analyzed to determine what effect, if any, chiropractic had on low back pain in athletes. And what they discovered after sifting through all of the research is that chiropractic adjustments and heat were “the most strongly supported evidence-based therapies.”
In other words, based on the studies and their findings, the authors concluded that chiropractic worked better than anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxants. It even provided more positive results in regard to pain management and greater ease when performing daily activities than medical care, soft tissue treatment, and several other common back pain remedies people typically use in an effort to feel better.
Additionally, chiropractic is a natural treatment option that it won’t negatively impact sports performance the way some medications and other treatment methods may. That may be a top choice when it comes to keeping you out of pain and in the game.

“My experience at Health First Wellness Center was absolutely fantastic. Dr. Eric is a wonderful chiropractor and helped me reach my goal of wellness with compassion and patience. Lisa was my physical therapist and I couldn’t have had a better more knowledgeable person to help me through my exercises. I met Dr. Dustin before leaving who was also very patient, knowledgeable and kind-hearted. Other amazing people at Health First include Roy another excellent physical therapist, Cassandra the receptionist and Alyssa the nurse practitioner. I hope to return in the future to continue post therapy for some personal training! Thank you all so very much <3 “
