Winter Sports Injuries

Winter sports are exhilarating and fun for many people, but they often lead to sports injuries due to falls, lift accidents, and collisions. Some injuries can be minor, while others are more severe and require special medical attention. Our team at Back Talk Chiropractic can provide the necessary tests and treatment options to treat your winter sports injury without any medications or invasive procedures.

Common Types of Winter Sports Injuries

The most common types of sports injuries to watch out for include:

• Knee injuries: Due to the dynamism of skiers' and snowboarders' movements, knee injuries are also very common.
• Concussions: Winter sports often lead to dangerous falls on snow and ice that may result in concussions. Serious symptoms of a concussion that require immediate medical attention include swelling at the site, confusion, dizziness, vomiting, blurred vision, and difficulty sleeping.
• Muscle pulls: Pulled muscles are also quite common during winter sports and can be extremely painful.
