Treatment for Overuse Injuries in Broomfield
Overuse injuries are one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Many patients wonder, “What did I do?” or “Why do I have these issues?” The answer, a lot of times, lies in all those repetitive, seemingly harmless actions we perform every day—whether at work, during hobbies, or as part of daily life.
However, when we do them over and over again throughout work or life, over time, they can lead to what’s called micro trauma—tiny injuries that accumulate until they lead to pain and limitations. Chiropractic care is an effective way to address overuse injuries, helping to restore biomechanical efficiency and prevent further wear and tear.
How Overuse Injuries Develop
Overuse injuries develop when repeated motions place excessive strain on a specific area of the body. Unlike acute injuries that happen suddenly, overuse injuries progress slowly, often starting with minor discomfort that many people ignore. If left untreated, this repetitive stress can escalate, causing chronic pain and reduced mobility.
What Are the Common Causes?
To understand why overuse injuries occur, it’s important to look at the common activities and habits that trigger them. Here are examples of activities and lifestyle habits that make overuse injuries more likely:
- Repetitive workplace tasks (e.g., cutting vegetables, assembly line work)
- Sports or hobbies involving repetitive motions (e.g., running, tennis)
- Poor posture during everyday activities
- Biomechanical imbalances that place extra strain on joints and muscles
Recognizing the Signs
Do you notice persistent discomfort or stiffness after repetitive activities? Are tasks that were once simple now painful? These could be signs of an overuse injury. By addressing the issue early, we can help prevent long-term damage.
