Here are some commonly asked questions about sports injuries.

What Are Some Common Sports Injuries?

Sports injuries vary based on the sport played. Some of the most common include back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, shin splints, sprains, and muscle tension. These injuries can come from impact or overuse.

How Is a Sports Injury Diagnosed? 

It can be hard to determine how severe your injury is. Our chiropractor will perform a physical exam to determine where your pain is coming from and how severe it is. We will also look for any underlying conditions that may be causing your pain.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help? 

After a diagnosis, our chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan for you. Your treatment methods will vary based on your injury. We often use spinal adjustments to realign the spine and alleviate back pain. This can also take pressure off of the neck and joints.

We also provide physical rehabilitation services. With therapies and exercises, we will improve your range of motion and help your body heal. We may also use trigger point therapy, stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma therapy, and more to alleviate pain. Our methods treat the root cause of your injury, not just your symptoms.

How Long Does Sports Injury Recovery Take? 

Each patient will have a different treatment plan. If your injury is more severe, you will have a longer recovery. It is important to continue chiropractic treatments so that your injury can fully heal. Continuing treatments will also strengthen your body and help prevent future injuries and pain.
