Understanding Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can affect athletes and active individuals at all levels — from weekend warriors to competitive athletes. Injuries may develop suddenly from trauma or gradually from overuse, often limiting performance, training consistency, and daily activities.
Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, weakness, reduced mobility, or instability that worsens with activity. Many people attempt to “push through” injuries, rest briefly, or rely on short-term treatments, only to find that symptoms linger or return when activity resumes.
Effective sports injury care requires understanding how the injury occurred and what factors are preventing proper recovery. Addressing movement mechanics, tissue health, and joint function allows treatment to be more targeted and helps reduce the risk of re-injury.
Common Sports Injuries We See
Sports injuries often result from a combination of mechanical stress, training load, and movement patterns.
Muscle strains or pulls
Ligament sprains
Tendon irritation or overuse injuries
Joint restriction or instability
Poor movement mechanics or imbalances
Training errors or sudden increases in activity
Our Approach to Sports Injury Care
Care is guided by the doctor and adjusted based on how movement, strength, and symptoms respond, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Sports injuries require an approach that considers how the body moves, loads, and recovers. At Andover Chiropractic & Wellness, care is delivered directly by the doctor and tailored to address joint function, muscle health, and movement patterns specific to each injury. By combining chiropractic care, clinical soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation when appropriate, our goal is to support recovery while helping patients return to activity safely and efficiently.
We promise the following:
Doctor-Led Evaluation: Every plan begins with a thorough assessment performed directly by the doctor to understand what’s actually driving your pain.
Chiropractic Adjusting (When Appropriate): Adjustments are used selectively to improve spinal movement and reduce irritation when they support recovery.
Clinical Soft Tissue Therapy: Targeted work to address muscle tension, restriction, and tissue stress that commonly contribute to persistent low back pain.
Rehabilitation & Movement Correction: Guided exercises and movement strategies designed to improve stability, coordination, and long-term function.
Supportive Modalities (As Needed): Tools such as heat, cold, stimulation, or red light may be used when they help reduce symptoms and support healing, never as a standalone treatment.
Because every sport and injury is different, understanding who this type of care is best suited for is an important next step.
