At the Center of Gravity Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Clinic serving Katy, TX, Dr. Robert Rocque and his team believe that physical issues require physical treatment. For this reason, we offer injury rehab and chiropractic care in a personalized treatment environment with the most advanced equipment available.
Understanding Injuries
We will likely sustain at least one serious injury in our lifetime. A physical injury is the bodily harm or damage caused by an accident, attack, or disaster. This may be at work, at home, or while pursuing athletic activities. Injuries can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) and they are often associated with symptoms of pain and reduced function and mobility.
Types of Injuries
We traditionally categorize physical injuries into personal, sports, or auto accident injuries. There are several sub-types within these categories, and we regularly see Katy, TX, patients for:
- Sports injuries and performance
- Auto accidents and whiplash
- Disc issues
- Lower back and neck complaints
- Extremity complaints
Additionally, we are available for and often see patients who require post-surgical rehab after joint replacement.
What is Rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation or rehab is the process of overcoming the effects of an injury, illness, or surgery. The importance of injury rehab can’t be overstated. It works to relieve pain and improve mobility and function in the shortest amount of time possible. Injury rehab is of particular importance to athletes who require their bodies to bounce back from injuries quickly and function at peak levels.
Rehabilitation Components
There are five main components to injury rehab:
- Pain management to overcome the physical and psychological aspects of your injury.
- Improving flexibility and range of motion because flexibility decreases the opportunity for injury.
- Improving strength and endurance to restore your body’s power.
- Reintegrating physical coordination in case the different parts of the body forget how to work together correctly.
- Functional rehabilitation, which is adjusting the body after an injury to function at pre-injury levels.
