Lake Worth Chiropractic Care for Water Sport and Boating Injuries

water sports and boating injuries Lake Worth Chiropractic CareLove water sports or boating? Unfortunately, a day on the water can easily go from fun to dangerous when a water sports injury happens. Capsizing, being ejected from a moving boat, and collisions with foreign objects in the water are some of the most common water sports and boating injuries. Accidents from waterskiing, jet skiing and body surfing are also common.

3 Things You Need to Know About Water Sport Injuries

Lake Worth is one of the most popular spots in the country for outdoor water recreation – and it’s also at the top of the list for water sports injuries. Our Florida chiropractors at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness have substantial experience treating patients for injuries caused by water sports. With prompt care, your injuries will heal faster and you will suffer less pain – so you can get back in the water and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Below, our Florida chiropractors at Lake Worth share three things you need to know about water sports and boating injuries:

Whiplash injuries are common in water sports.

While whiplash may traditionally be associated with car accident injuries, this injury is increasingly common for water sports and boating. Individuals who are thrown from a boat or capsize while waterskiing or jet skiing are most likely to sustain a whiplash injury. Symptoms of whiplash injuries include neck pain and headaches due to a cervical spine misalignment. Chiropractic care restores proper spinal alignment, which alleviates pain.

Pain is best managed with effective treatment.

Water sport injuries like whiplash do not simply “go away” without treatment. While medication can help relieve pain, prescription painkillers are not a permanent solution. As long as the cervical spine remains out of alignment, patients will suffer pain. Our chiropractic care is effective because these treatments address the underlying cause for your pain.

Physical therapy important for restoring mobility to the body.

After a boating injury, your body may feel sore and stiff. Physical therapy exercises help to relieve this stiffness and soreness, restoring a full range of motion after injury.
