Ski injuries are common (watch the video). Another thing that’s common is how we “deal” with them. Whiskey and the hot tub are two of the least effective ways, albeit the most fun, to recover from an injury. If you think to yourself after the injury “That’s gonna hurt later”. It probably will. It’s also a good reason to get help. Go the hospital if you break something. Go to the chiropractor if you’ve got a typical ski injury like a bad  fall, moderate collision or something that makes you feel that you’ve “thrown yourself off.” If your “back feels out” or “hips feel off”, thats a reason to call. If you are using the language in quotes as part of your post ski injury self talk, consider it the same thing as the engine light in your car lighting up red.

Yes, whiskey and hot tubbing will make things feel better. The problem is that neither fix the damage done by the ski injury. Underlying joint misalignments, muscle strain, sprain and contracture and the like will not go away by taking a trip to Margaritaville.

Here’s what you do: If you want to continue to have a great ski season and active spring, call a specialist in structural body realignment and optimization of nerve, muscle and joint function. A performance specialist for your body. Dr. Lou has been a skier most of his life, he was a ski instructor and has worked with dozens of top level athletes and other performers, like Grammy winning musicians. People with a strong physical purpose. Call him, have your problems checked out and find out if they are worthy of treatment. If they are, get started ASAP. If there is no need for chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage or other care in house, he’ll send you where you need to go to not only feel better but to recover to the degree that you won’t be as vulnerable to long term problems or flare ups later on.

Here’s what it looks like in a list:
