Sports Injury Treatment in Knightdale, NC: Athletes understand the numerous demands of participating in a sport. Putting your body through these activities, such as running, jumping or tackling, can result in painful tears, sprains and strains. Seeing a chiropractor can help athletes heal faster after suffering a sports injury and can prevent them.
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. This can happen in countless ways, depending on what activity you are doing or what sport you are playing in. It is important to take precautionary measures, but sometimes injuries can happen to the most physically active and experienced people. Often these conditions are a result of injuries suffered years or even decades ago that did not heal properly.
Children and teens tend to ignore what seem to be small injuries when they are active. But if an injury is left untreated, this can lead to chronic pain in other areas, that may not even be directly related to the focal point of the injury; such the knees, hips, back and neck. Many sports injuries are insufficiently treated and allowed to rest and heal, increasing the odds that they will cause chronic pain later in life. This can lead to pain, frustration and a decrease in athletic abilities.
Although many people think that chiropractic is solely limited to the spine, Dr. Bradburn treats and helps prevent injuries of the neck, back, shoulders, knees and ankles. When the spine is perfectly aligned, this can alleviate tension in the body, decreases inflammation and allows the nervous system to function optimally.
During optimal spinal alignment, vital nutrients, water and body can travel throughout the body easily. It can also increase the immune system, which is ideal for anyone with a busy and active lifestyle. This allows the body to function better and become less susceptible to injury.
Dr. Bradburn can help athletes by relieving their pain and helping them heal faster after an injury. Many athletes try to mask pain with medication, but this can lead to further risk and damage to the body. At Trinity Chiropractic Wellness, Dr. Bradburn will perform a full evaluation. Dr. Bradburn will then construct a customized treatment plan to get you feeling your best and back to doing what you love.
Dr. Bradburn works with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan to help them recover from an injury and to optimize athletic performance. Call today at (919) 261-0202 to schedule a consultation!
It is refreshing to find someone who sees the Human body as a system that is constantly working to be efficient. Dr. Cole has helped me correct lower back problems that I have had for nearly 10 years. He explains the reasoning for the procedures and is very knowledgable of the linkages between the nervous system and the performance of the human body. I would recommend Dr. Cole to anyone that is not satisfied with pill pushing doctors who just try to mask symptoms instead of solve problems.
I was very skeptical of chiropractors at first, but when I pulled a muscle in my neck and couldn’t turn my head *AND* my massage therapist moved away, I needed help. I had spoken to Dr. Cole a couple of times about Active Release Therapy, and though it made sense to me, I still resisted. However, when I got desperate due to my pulled neck muscle, I broke down and went to see what he had to say. To my surprise, he relieved the pain in my neck within minutes (versus the hours of massage therapy I was getting), and though I was still sore, I could turn my head. After that, I was sold on chiropractic care. That was in 2008.
Since then, Dr. Cole has helped keep me aligned through numerous “tweaks” and injuries from Tae Kwon Do and other exercise (ie. jogging). I literally had a different body part that needed help at every visit! Wrist and ankle sprains, uneven hips, and a sore back were just a few of the everyday bumps that he helped fix. When I tore my ACL during a TKD sparring match, I was on crutches for 6-8 weeks during my rehabilitation. Dr. Cole kept my shoulders straight when the crutches tried so very hard to make them crooked.
Then, when I got pregnant about a year ago, the loosening joints in my body made it hard to keep my hips in line, so Dr. Cole kept them aligned, and I don’t ever remember having really bad back pain that so many pregnant women report as a symptom. Even after the birth of my son, breastfeeding wreaked havoc on this new mother’s back and shoulders, so he helped with that as well.
What surprised (and pleased) me most about the care I received at Trinity Chiropractic Wellness is the overall philosophy of ‘treat the problem not the symptoms.’ Dr. Cole is a huge advocate for not only letting the body heal itself since that is what it is built to do, but also for healthy living. Many of my issues were caused by years and years of high stress levels that my body did not know how to handle. *I* didn’t know how to deal with the stress, and over time, I got so used to feeling bad, that ‘feeling badly’ became normal to me. How backwards is that?? Once I felt what a relaxed body felt like again, there was no going back. I began taking steps to live a healthier, low-stress lifestyle, and feeling bad is now occasional, not normal.
I don’t rely just on chiropractic care to fix my ailments. My family and I eat whole foods, including lots of fruits and vegetables and fish and just try to get regular exercise (as much as you can with an infant). Chiropractic care is just one of the many things I use in my repertoire of resources for healthy, happy living.
Excellent care from the entire team – the Doc and staff. Great experience – a true wellness office!
Excellent, thorough chiro. Very skilled and knowledgeable in his craft. Always ensures that the patient is fully taken care of.
Our family has been receiving chiropractic care from Trinity Chiropractic Wellness for nearly 4 year and we have never had a bad experience. All of the people that work there are welcoming, helpful, and caring. Each member of our family has significantly benefited from scheduled adjustments performed by Dr. Cole Bradburn. He has been gentle and nurturing with our children and informative and consistent with my husband and I. We would not be as knowledgable or as physically sound as we are without the dedicated care of Dr. Cole Bradburn and his team at Trinity Chiropractic Wellness!
Personal and professional. ….like bringing back the family doctor style with new technology….my family has benefited so much. I receive care for migraines and have seen great results because not only my migraines get treated…it’s all connected.
I had already heard great things about Dr. Cole Bradburn, and then when I got in a car accident I decided to give it a try. I had high expectations to begin with, but I can honestly say that the entire office exceeded my high expectations. Everyone in the office was extremely nice and accommodating every time I came in, getting me in and out very quickly. Dr. Bradburn was very informative and made sure you knew why you were doing certain exercises. The front ladies were very flexible with my busy schedule and were always so friendly and professional. They completely took care of the billing and insurance questions so I did not have to even worry about it. The chiropractic assistant and the other doctors were always very friendly and personable as well! I loved the yoga class and look forward to booking my next massage. I would refer Trinity Chiropractic to my clients, friends, family and to anyone who is looking to give them a try!!
Dr. Cole helped me achieve my dream VBAC birth! My doula recommended him to help get baby in optimal position, and his work made a significant positive impact on my labor and delivery! Highly recommend!
Dr. Cole has been adjusting me for years. At first he helped me with my neck and back pain, but after being adjusted for awhile my allergies started going away too! I used to take all the allergy medications like zyrtec, allegra and claritin. Now I haven’t taken any in years.
Great office with a friendly and knowledgeable staff and a doc who truly does care about you and your wellness.
