Sprain or Strain Treatment in Westford, MA

Do you have a sprain or strain in Westford, MA? The human body’s ability to move while maintaining joint and bone alignment is a marvel of intricate coordination between muscles, ligaments, and the nervous system. At Corrective Care Chiropractic, we understand how injuries to these structures can disrupt your life, and we’re here to help you heal and regain your strength.

Understanding Muscles and Ligaments

Muscles: Essential for motion, muscles enable activities ranging from walking and talking to pumping blood and digesting food. They transform energy into motion, grow with stress, and heal unless damaged beyond self-repair. Proper muscle function is heavily dependent on a well-functioning nervous system.
Ligaments: In contrast, ligaments provide stability and support by maintaining proper bone alignment. These strong, flexible structures cross joints and often work together in areas like the knees and ankles. Ligaments are resilient and, in many cases, stronger than bone.

What Is a Sprain or Strain?

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, sprains and strains refer to different injuries:

Strains: These involve injuries to muscles or tendons caused by overstretching or over-contracting the muscle. Common symptoms include swelling, cramping, and pain during movement.
Sprains: These occur when ligaments are stretched beyond their limits, often due to improper joint control. Symptoms are similar to strains but are centered around the affected joint.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Proper evaluation is critical for effective treatment. At Corrective Care Chiropractic, we offer:

A thorough medical history review and physical examination.
Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, if necessary.
A focus on nervous system evaluation to ensure proper control and healing of tissues.

Once a diagnosis is made, we create a personalized treatment plan to promote healing, restore function, and reduce the risk of future injuries.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care?

Unlike conventional treatments, chiropractic care addresses the underlying nervous system issues that contribute to sprains and strains. By ensuring proper communication between the brain and body, we help optimize your recovery and prevent re-injury.

What They Say About Us

The office staff is extremely friendly and accommodating to schedules and schedule changes. The Doctors are as well. I was extremely skeptical of chiropractors in general, but my back was bothering me enough to try, at the urging of my daughter. Two appointments in, and my back was feeling 90% better.
