| | Osteopathy: Treatment for Sports Injuries | |
Osteopathic manipulation is a valuable tool for the
prevention and treatment of sports injuries. Ensuring that
the body’s musculoskeletal system is in proper balance
and alignment can prevent injuries. Once an injury has taken
place, it is wise to be evaluated and treated
osteopathically to quicken healing time, prevent chronic
injuries and help young athletes reach their fullest
potential and enjoy all of their sports endeavors.
When the athlete, at any age, sustains an injury in a
particular area, he/she should remember the RICE-O treatment
for injuries!
