Conditions

Injuries we see every week

Each condition has its own page so searchers — and Google — can find the exact problem, not a generic chiropractic homepage.

Shoulder and rotator cuff pain

Throwing, swimming, pickleball, weight training

Overhead athletes lose seasons to shoulders that were never just a “shoulder problem.”

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow

Pickleball, golf, tennis, gripping sports

The elbow is usually the messenger. The shoulder, wrist, and grip are the story.

Runner’s knee

Running, triathlon, court sports

Front-of-knee pain that shows up at mile three is rarely “just the knee.”

IT band syndrome

Running, cycling, hiking

Lateral knee sting that kills the long run is a mechanics problem, not a foam-roller personality test.

Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

Running, walking trails, court sports

First-step pain is a load problem in the calf-foot complex — not a reason to buy a seventh pair of inserts and hope.

Hip pain and tendinitis

Golf, rowing, running, pickleball

Golfers and rowers store power in the hips. When rotation stops, the back and knee file the complaint.

Low back pain in athletes

Golf, rowing, lifting, field sports

Athlete back pain is not desk back pain. The plan has to survive practice, not just the treatment table.

Neck pain

Cycling, swimming, desk-plus-training athletes

Neck pain in athletes is often a position problem — aero bars, breath pattern, or a shoulder that stopped moving.

Sciatica

Golf, lifting, sitting-heavy training weeks

Leg pain from the back needs a real exam — not a viral stretch.

Ankle sprain

High school field and court sports

A “simple sprain” that is still swollen at week three is a season problem. Early, specific care changes that.
