How Dr. Luc Archambault of SpineWorks UK Can Help You Treat Exercise Injuries
Exercise injuries can prevent you from participating in physical activities and hinder your everyday movements. Therefore, it is crucial to seek help from a professional who can help you recover and get back on track. Dr. Luc Archambault of SpineWorks UK has years of experience treating individuals who suffer from exercise injuries. Here are the common causes of exercise injuries and how Dr. Luc Archambault can help you using Chiropractic BioPhysics® and orthotic devices like the Denneroll®.
Common Causes of Exercise Injuries
Before we dive into the treatment options, let’s first understand the common causes of exercise injuries. Over-training, which is pushing your body to the limit without giving it enough time to rest, is one of the primary causes of exercise injuries. Poor form while exercising or weight lifting can also lead to injuries, which can be exacerbated by an underlying spinal misalignment. These injuries can range from minor muscle strains to more severe issues like herniated discs or sciatica.
Over-Exercise
Over-exercising can indeed lead to a heightened risk of physical injuries. When we push our bodies beyond their capacity, we run the risk of causing harm to our musculoskeletal system. This can take the form of strains, sprains, or even stress fractures. Largely, this is because our bodies need rest and recovery time after strenuous activity in order to repair the microscopic damage that occurs during intense exercise. Continual high-intensity workouts without sufficient rest periods can escalate this damage, leading to serious injuries. Overtraining can also weaken the immune system, making an individual more susceptible to illnesses and infections. It’s crucial to listen to your body’s cues and ensure a balance between exercise, rest, and recovery to maintain optimal health.
Poor Form
Poor form during exercise is a significant contributor to exercise-related injuries. It applies to both strength training and aerobic activities such as running. When incorrect forms are used repetitively, it puts undue stress on parts of the body that are not equipped to handle it, resulting in sprains, strains, or more severe injuries. For instance, incorrect posture during weightlifting can strain the back muscles and possibly cause herniated discs. Similarly, incorrect running technique can lead to knee injuries or shin splints. Therefore, it’s crucial to learn and maintain correct form during exercise to minimize the risk of injuries. Proper initial guidance, continuous self-monitoring, and professional assistance can considerably help in ensuring correct form and safe exercise practices.
Spinal Subluxation (Misalignment)
Spinal subluxation, or misalignment of the spine, can significantly contribute to exercise injuries. The spine is the central support structure of the body, distributing our weight evenly and facilitating smooth, coordinated movements. When the spine is misaligned, it disrupts this balance, placing uneven stress on certain muscles and joints during physical activities. This increased pressure can lead to injuries, particularly when performing high-impact or repetitive exercises. Furthermore, spinal subluxation can alter the body’s biomechanics, affecting the posture and form during exercise. Poor form, as mentioned before, is a major cause of exercise injuries. Thus, maintaining a properly aligned spine is crucial for safe and effective exercise, and for preventing injuries.
