Sports Injuries
treated properly.

You pushed through the pain during the game, and now you're paying for it. Whether it's a pulled muscle, a strained back, or a shoulder that won't cooperate, sports injuries don't just heal on their own — especially if the underlying mechanics aren't addressed. And if you're a parent watching your teenager deal with a sports injury, you want them treated right the first time.

What causes it

What causes sports injuries.

Sports injuries happen when the body is pushed beyond its current capacity, often compounded by underlying structural imbalances.

  • Overuse injuries from repetitive motion (golf, tennis, running)
  • Acute injuries from contact sports or falls
  • Spinal misalignment affecting movement patterns
  • Muscle imbalances creating compensation injuries
  • Improper warm-up or training technique

Questions patients ask

Sports Injuries FAQs.

Should I see a chiropractor for a sports injury?

Yes. Chiropractic care is excellent for sports injuries because it addresses both the injury and the biomechanical issues that caused it. This means faster recovery and lower risk of re-injury.

Can my teenager see a chiropractor for sports injuries?

Absolutely. Dr. Jenn specializes in treating young athletes with age-appropriate, gentle techniques. Early treatment prevents minor injuries from becoming chronic problems.

How soon after an injury should I come in?

The sooner the better. Early treatment typically leads to faster recovery. If you're in acute pain, call us and we'll do our best to see you the same day or next day.
