Shoulder Pain and sports chiropractic

Posted on by

Chiropractic has always positioned itself as treating the cause of a problem is ultimately better than treating symptoms. This is exactly the point with sports chiropractic. For example a baseball pitcher may come in with severe shoulder pain, but upon investigation it may be determined that the lack of flexibility in the psoas muscles (hip flexors) and poor core/ abdominal strength is the actual factors that prevented the pitcher from creating the momentum required to throw a baseball at 100 mph and as a result the person then overused the rotator cuff causing it to tear. Beyond determining the cause of pain the treatment benefits for the patient will include resolving all factors associated with the injury.

The need for a separate category is the larger the boat or vessel is, the farther they can travel and it is for this reason that the likelihood of being exposed to more risks or perils is high. Hence as compared to boats which are smaller and travel shorter distances, yachts are akin to long distance travels which need wider sea coverage in an insurance policy.

The Different Marine Insurance Available in the Market

Marine insurance is a broad type of insurance which covers the loss or damage of the vessel, cargo, and its passengers from the vessel’s point of origin to its point of destination.  Hence anything that happens between the point of origin to the point of destination such as transshipment of goods or cargo is still covered by marine insurance. From the definition given, its vast scope also covers loss or damage that occurs at sea, while the ship is docked or in transit, or on inland waterways. Moreover, like any other insurance, it is a contract of indemnity wherein the insurer agrees to indemnify the insured against the covered perils stipulated in the policy. Hence, when a covered peril or risk happens, the liability of the insurer immediately attaches.
