Sports Injuries Q&A

What are sports injuries?

Sports injuries are musculoskeletal conditions that occur during physical activity, exercise, or athletic competition. These injuries may affect the muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, or bones and can range from mild strains to more serious structural damage. Symptoms may develop suddenly after an acute injury or gradually over time due to repetitive stress and inflammation.

Common sports injuries include:

Sprains and strains
Rotator cuff injuries
Tendonitis
ACL and other ligament injuries
Shin splints
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Ankle injuries
Muscle tears

The experienced chiropractic team at Sports Chiro & Rehab evaluates the source of your pain and identifies underlying biomechanical imbalances that may have contributed to your injury.

Early evaluation and treatment can help prevent minor injuries from progressing into more serious or chronic conditions.

What causes sports injuries?

Sports injuries can result from:

Sudden impact or trauma
Overuse or repetitive motion
Improper training techniques
Poor biomechanics or muscle imbalances
Inadequate warm-up or recovery

Even small movement patterns can create stress over time. The team focuses not only on treating the injury itself but also correcting contributing factors to reduce your risk of reinjury and support long-term performance and joint health.
