Whether you twisted an ankle playing sports, strained your back lifting something heavy, or overdid it at the gym, sprains and strains are common and painful injuries. A strain affects a muscle or tendon, while a sprain involves the ligaments that connect your bones. In both cases, the immediate result is pain, swelling, and limited function that can sideline you from your life.
While initial rest and ice are important, simply waiting for the pain to disappear can lead to incomplete healing. When soft tissues are damaged, the body often creates scar tissue that is weaker and less flexible than the original tissue. This can result in chronic stiffness, joint instability, and a higher risk of re-injuring the same area in the future.
Our chiropractic approach focuses on helping you heal faster, stronger, and more completely. After a thorough evaluation, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments to restore proper movement and biomechanics to the affected joint and surrounding areas, taking stress off the healing tissues.
- Advanced Soft Tissue Therapies to break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve flexibility.
- Rehabilitative Exercises to rebuild strength and stability in the injured area.
Our goal is not just to get you out of pain, but to ensure the injury heals correctly so you can confidently return to your favorite activities.
