What Types of Sports Injuries Can Chiropractic Care Help Treat?
Athletes place repetitive stress on their muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. A sports chiropractor may help evaluate and manage conditions such as:
● Knee pain
● Shoulder pain
● Back and neck pain
● Muscle strains
● Ligament sprains
● Tennis or golfer's elbow
● Running-related overuse injuries
● Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
Every injury is different, making a detailed examination an important first step before treatment begins.
How Is a Sports Injury Evaluated?
Your initial visit includes a thorough consultation and physical examination. Dr. Krage reviews your health history, discusses how your injury occurred, evaluates your posture, joint movement, flexibility, muscle function, and movement patterns, and, when appropriate, performs orthopedic and neurological assessments. This detailed evaluation helps determine the factors contributing to your discomfort and guides your personalized treatment plan.
What Treatments May Be Recommended?
Your care plan is designed around your specific condition and activity level. Depending on your needs, treatment may include chiropractic care, spinal decompression, deep tissue laser therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, massage therapy, nutritional guidance, and home exercise recommendations. Combining multiple conservative therapies helps improve mobility, reduce mechanical stress, and support your body's natural recovery process.
How Can Chiropractic Care Support Athletic Performance?
Improving joint mobility and movement quality may help athletes perform more efficiently while reducing unnecessary stress on muscles and connective tissues. Ongoing care also allows your sports chiropractor to monitor your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and provide guidance to help lower the risk of future injuries.
