Can Chiropractors Help with Sports Injuries?

Yes, and for most musculoskeletal sports injuries, chiropractic is one of the best first steps you can take.

Sports injuries involve joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. These are exactly the structures chiropractic and the soft tissue therapies we use are designed to treat. Dr. Muren is TPI Certified through the Titleist Performance Institute and has worked with competitive athletes at various levels. He understands movement mechanics and how athletic activity creates specific patterns of breakdown in the body.

The treatments we use for sports injuries include chiropractic adjustments to restore joint mechanics, IASTM scraping to break up scar tissue and fascial adhesions, StemWave shockwave therapy for chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries, cupping for deep muscle tension, acupuncture for pain management and tissue healing, and a rehabilitation component to restore movement patterns before return to sport.

Common sports injuries we treat in Jacksonville: rotator cuff strains, shoulder impingement, IT band syndrome, patellar tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains that haven't healed correctly, hamstring strains, hip flexor tightness, and lower back injury from repetitive loading. If you're an athlete dealing with something that isn't getting better on its own, come in and let us assess it.
