It is important for everyone to take steps to stay in shape. This can improve not only someone's physical health but their emotional health as well.

When someone works out, there are a few common injuries that people might suffer. The team from Circle Chiropractic Center in Fairfax is here to make sure everyone can play safely.

Common Injuries Seen While Working Out

There are a few common injuries that our team sees from people who work out on a regular basis. These include:

Overuse Injuries: Some people try too hard to get in shape too quickly. This can lead to something called overuse injuries. This can lead to inflammation throughout the body, leading to pain and discomfort. This might cause someone to have to take a break from exercising.

Muscle Tears: Another common injury that people can suffer while working out is a muscle tear. This sometimes happens when people lift weights that are too heavy for them, or when people lift heavy weights without warming up. This typically presents as an acute tear with profound weakness.

Ligament Sprains: Finally, people can also suffer ligament sprains while working out. This may present as pain that gets worse with movement along with a markedly decreased range of motion. A chiropractor has the tools and training necessary to help people recover from a ligament sprain in a quick and complete manner.
