Sports Injuries

Athletic activities place unique and repetitive demands on the musculoskeletal system. A sports injury—whether it is an acute sprain or a chronic overuse issue—is often a sign that a specific part of the body has reached its mechanical breaking point. When a joint or muscle is injured, the body instinctively changes how it moves to protect the area. This "antalgic" or protective movement pattern can lead to secondary issues in the ankles, knees, hips, or spine.

Our focus in sports chiropractic is not just to address the pain at the site of the injury, but to identify the mechanical breakdown in the kinetic chain that allowed the injury to happen in the first place. By restoring proper mechanics, we help athletes return to their sport with better efficiency and a reduced risk of re-injury.
