Three Levels of Care for Sports Injuries

They work with patients at three levels. The first is to relieve elements manifested during the acute phase of an injury. These might be pain, stiffness, numbness or other symptoms.

The next step in a solution is to stabilize the area where the injury occurred so healing can commence. Without healing at the underlying injured area, the symptoms often recur. Methods and techniques will vary according to the location of the injury, severity of the problem and the length of time since the injury or accident occurred.

The final step in the process is education. Educating patients about preventing similar injuries in the future is important in whole body health and fitness. Techniques in this phase of the program might include stress reduction, exercises, posture training or nutritional planning to control weight.
