Injured? Let's Get You Back in the Game
Fast, effective sports injury treatment — combining adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and custom rehab.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Our doctors treat the full range of athletic injuries including ankle sprains and strains, hamstring and quad pulls, shoulder impingement and rotator cuff injuries, IT band syndrome, runner's knee and patellar tendinitis, tennis and golfer's elbow, shin splints and stress fractures, and chronic overuse injuries from repetitive training.
How Chiropractic Helps Sports Injuries
Sports injuries rarely affect one structure in isolation. A sprained ankle alters your gait, which strains your knee, which shifts your hip, which creates back pain. Our approach treats the injury itself plus the compensation chain around it.
Treatment combines full-body adjustments to restore joint mobility across the entire kinetic chain, soft tissue therapy for injured muscles, tendons, and fascia, and custom rehabilitation programs designed for your sport and injury.
Dr. Burke brings an exercise science and personal training background, and Dr. Gaughan's experience as an NCAA soccer player and EMT gives him firsthand understanding of athletic demands and injury recovery.
Getting Back to Your Sport
Our goal isn't just pain-free — it's performance-ready. Once acute symptoms resolve, we shift focus to strengthening the weak links, correcting movement patterns, and building resilience so the injury doesn't return.
We also collaborate with our massage therapy team for patients who benefit from combining chiropractic rehab with targeted sports recovery massage.
