Information circulating before Super Bowl XLIV was that Indiana Colts Dwight Freeney was using chiropractic care to recover from his ankle injury. He had been seen recently in an ankle boot then soon thereafter walking bare foot on the beach.  The scoop is that he was actually treating with a Chiropractic Physician, Dr. Leon Mellman who was treating his ankle for proper bone alignment and assessing his spine for unwanted side effects from limping on the bad ankle.

Keeping good motion in the ankle joint is a great approach to insure proper healing and function. Keep in mind that the sooner you seek chiropractic care for a sprained ankle or spine… the sooner you will heal and restore proper function. Many problems occur when scar tissue or adhesions develop in the injured tissues that restrict proper function. Use ice, not heat, to reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected area. Apply it multiple times per day for 20 minutes at a time.

A chiropractic physician is the right choice for musculoskeletal injuries like back pain, accident injuries and sports injuries, due to the fact that their medical education exceeds that of other physicians in the area of anatomy and physiology. A chiropractor can diagnose, take x-rays or order MRI studies to successfully treat your injury.
