Patience and Chiropractic Care for Overuse Injuries

By Donna Stark

I'm going to assume that you are a pretty busy person because most people are these days. There really isn't a whole lot of time to sit around and wait for things to happen, is there? But sometimes we are forced to. Sometimes we have no choice other than to be patient, and being patient when you are waiting for something big to happen can be challenging. Even worse, is trying to be patient while an injury heals, right? Especially if it's an overuse injury and your busy days have come to a screeching halt.

What is an Overuse Injury?

Overuse injuries are just that. You have simply overused a particular part of your body to the point that it is now causing tremendous pain and discomfort. This kind of injury is common for those who repeat the same motion over and over again, whether it be at work, in a sport, or while playing an instrument. Take a look at some of the more common overuse injury symptoms.

• Pain and discomfort
• Tenderness
• Limited range of motion and mobility
• Loss of sensation, numbness
• Loss of strength
