Sports Injuries
Fast, Focused Recovery for Common Athletic Injuries
At The Bridge Chiropractic, we help athletes of all ages and skill levels recover from sports injuries safely and efficiently. Whether you twisted your ankle during a pickup game or threw out your back lifting weights, our goal is to get you back in action — stronger, more mobile, and with fewer setbacks.
Common Injuries We Treat
🔹 Sprained Ankles
One of the most common sports injuries, ankle sprains can damage ligaments and affect your balance, gait, and long-term stability. We address both the acute pain and the underlying joint or movement imbalances that may increase your risk of future sprains.
🔹 Acute Low Back Pain
Sudden back pain can strike after lifting, jumping, or twisting. Chiropractic care helps reduce inflammation, restore joint mobility, and ease muscle tension so you can return to activity without fear of reinjury.
🔹 Knee Injuries
From patellar tendonitis to meniscus irritation, knee injuries often result from poor biomechanics, overuse, or improper form. We’ll assess the full chain — hips, ankles, and core — to ensure complete recovery.
🔹 Shoulder Injuries
Overhead movements, falls, or lifting can lead to sprains, strains, or rotator cuff injuries. Our care helps restore normal shoulder function and prevent chronic issues like impingement or frozen shoulder.
🔹 Neck & Whiplash-Related Injuries
High-impact sports or awkward landings can lead to acute neck pain, nerve irritation, or muscle tightness. Chiropractic adjustments and targeted rehab help reduce pain and restore safe movement.
