Tendonitis
Inflammation of tendons often caused by repetitive motions, leading to pain and stiffness in the affected area.
Knee Injuries
Injuries such as ACL tears or meniscus tears commonly occur in sports involving jumping or sudden changes in direction.
Shoulder Injuries
Injuries like rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement can result from overuse or acute trauma.

Prevention Strategies
Nutritional and Lifestyle Support
We employ techniques such as Active Release Technique (ART) and myofascial release to target tight muscles and fascia, reducing tension and promoting healing.
Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine and improve overall body mechanics. This can alleviate pain and enhance mobility, allowing for a faster recovery.
Customized rehabilitation programs are designed to strengthen the injured area, improve flexibility, and restore function. Our goal is to ensure a safe return to sports and prevent future injuries.
We provide guidance on proper warm-up, cool-down, and training techniques to minimize the risk of future injuries. This includes education on body mechanics and ergonomics specific to your sport.
Our team can also offer advice on nutrition and recovery strategies to support your overall health and enhance your performance.
