Knee injuries and other sports-related injuries occur naturally through competitive sports tournaments. Alex Jimenez and Vincent Garcia talk about their injuries and how Dr. Alex Jimenez utilizes chiropractic care as rehabilitation to make sure that these athletes get back into the game. Alex talked about how he was in wrestling and explained how he had an ACL tear on his knee. While Vincent Garcia explained how he was training in mixed martial arts until his knee and toes started to be in pain. With knee injuries, they have been associated with sports injuries and athletes have dealt with these injuries constantly, affecting their overall health and wellness. Sometimes the injuries can be so severe that athletes may have to sit out of the game they are in until the injury itself is healed. Sometimes the healing process can take weeks, months, or even years. However, there is a solution for athletes to get back in the world of sports and that is through chiropractic care. Through the beneficial properties of chiropractic care, both Alex and Vincent explained how Dr. Jimenez has helped them recovered from their knee injuries and other sports-related injuries. They also explained how they were able to get back into the world of sports through rehabilitation and their overall performance has improved tremendously through chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is a safe, non-surgical, alternative treatment option that focuses on the usage of spinal adjustments and manual manipulation to treat a wide variety of injuries or conditions that are associated with the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Chiropractic care can even be used as a non-surgical choice for knee injuries, and sports-related injuries that athletes can benefit from. No one should be in pain from sports-related injuries especially if they can’t recover from it. Chiropractic care is one of the safest treatments that athletes can benefit from on their road to recovery.
[00:00:07] My name’s Alex Jimenez, I’m 21 years old. I’ve wrestled for 15 years, I don’t wrestle anymore. Just kind of just do health and fitness.
[00:00:14] I’m Vincent Garcia. Right now I’m training in mixed martial arts. Today it was for my knee. I kind of tweaked it a little bit yesterday. And also I’ve been coming from my toe, I have a little bit of turf toe. So I’ve been coming in to see him for those injuries.
[00:00:27] So one of my main injuries was an ACL injury. In the moment that it happened, it was kind of weird. It was kind of more of like the sound of pop really just shot, like really loud.
[00:00:36] The injuries, I mean, they stop me from being able to do, I’ve been able to perform at 100 percent. So yeah, it kinda slowed me down a bit.
[00:00:46] Exterior test kind of make sure that the leg was stabled. And when it was stabled, it didn’t look like it had an ACL tear until we did the MRI, which showed a complete ACL tear. Dr. Jimenez went through everything, he made sure that he took care of my knee. Make sure we went through the mobility every day. Ask me what I was doing, making sure he took care of everything and just made sure that I was on point with my recovery.
[00:01:07] It’s been great. It’s been a lot better. Actually, I didn’t see a doctor for about, I would say four months when I had my toe. And it was just getting worse and when I started seeing Dr. Jimenez, just little by little every day, we were trying to get better and better and I feel it was a lot better when I practice and stuff like that. So It’s getting better.
[00:01:25] It really was a moment of just I can all of a sudden spring. It was always just baby steps that time and kind of just not only securing myself physically but mentally, knowing that I could do it.
[00:01:36] One hundred percent, he’s like I said, he’s helping me out with a lot of injuries. He’s got me through a couple football seasons, a couple of wrestling seasons. Yeah. He really he’ll be doing. He gets you feeling right.
