Chiropractor guiding an athlete on exercises

Sports Injury Care

Sports injury care helps active individuals recover from injuries, improve movement, and safely return to the activities they enjoy.

Sports injuries can happen to anyone, from competitive athletes to weekend warriors, gym-goers, and active individuals. We provide hands-on care and rehabilitation for injuries related to training, sports, and physical activity.

Our approach combines a detailed assessment, hands-on treatment, personalized rehabilitation exercises, and education to help you recover safely and return to your sport, work, or daily activities. Each treatment plan is tailored to your goals and does not follow a one-size-fits-all program.

How soft tissue therapy may help

Sports injury care may be recommended to help with a variety of injuries and movement concerns, including:

  • Sprains
  • Strains
  • Overuse injuries
  • Tendinopathy
  • Shoulder pain
  • Knee pain
  • Ankle sprains
  • Back pain

We work with athletes and active individuals involved in activities such as hockey, basketball, football, golf, running, and gym training. Depending on your injury and assessment, care may include hands-on treatment, movement assessment, and individualized exercises designed around the physical demands of your sport or activity.

As you improve, we progressively advance your exercises to help you safely return to your training needs. We also focus on identifying factors that may contribute to future injuries by improving strength, mobility, movement patterns, and overall function.

What to expect during treatment

Your first appointment includes a thorough assessment to understand your injury, symptoms, goals, and activity demands. This may include a detailed history, physical examination, orthopedic testing, neurological assessment, functional movement assessment, and sport-specific movement evaluation.

Throughout your care, we monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. You can expect hands-on treatment, personalized exercises, and guidance you can continue using at home or in the gym.

Our goal is to provide you with the tools needed to recover, return to activity, and reduce the risk of future injuries.
