Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Why Sports Injuries Happen

Sports injuries often result from sudden impact, awkward landings, overtraining, poor warm-ups, muscle imbalances, restricted joint motion, or improper technique. Small restrictions in the spine or joints can change how your body moves and place extra stress on muscles and ligaments.

How We Treat Sports Injuries

We manually adjust the spine and extremities to relieve pain and help your body function better after an injury. Your care plan may also include:

  • Chiropractic adjustments for the spine and extremities
  • Massage therapy and soft-tissue work
  • Electrical stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound
  • Strength, balance, and stability training through rehabilitation
  • Stretching and mobility exercises
  • Gradual return-to-activity planning

Learn more about our dedicated sports medicine services and conservative pain management.

Preventing Sports Injuries

Warm up before activity, stretch after, build strength and flexibility, use proper equipment and technique, and allow time for rest and recovery. Periodic chiropractic evaluations can help identify restrictions before they lead to injury.

When to Seek Emergency Care

Seek immediate care for suspected fractures, dislocations, inability to bear weight, loss of consciousness, or symptoms of a concussion.

Sports Injury FAQs

Should I see a chiropractor for a sports injury?

Yes. A chiropractor can evaluate strains, sprains, and overuse injuries and provide conservative treatment to relieve pain and restore movement.

Can chiropractors treat injuries outside the spine?

Yes. We treat injuries to the shoulders, knees, ankles, elbows, and hips in addition to the neck and back.

Should I use ice or heat for a sports injury?

Ice is often used in the first day or two after a new injury to help with swelling, while heat may help with muscle stiffness later. Ask your provider for guidance specific to your injury.

How can I prevent sports injuries?

Warming up, stretching, strength training, proper technique, appropriate equipment, and adequate rest all help reduce injury risk.

When can I return to sports after an injury?

Return timing depends on your injury, strength, mobility, and sport. We help you progress gradually to reduce the risk of reinjury.

Do you treat young athletes?

We care for athletes of many ages. An evaluation will determine the best approach for each patient.
