FAQs
What are Sport Injuries?
Sports injuries can result from a single event, but more commonly, they occur from overuse and develop over time. At Revive Chiropractic, we treat a wide range of sports injuries such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, and joint pain.

In the U.S., 8.4% of adults—19.4 million people—have utilized chiropractic care, and this number is growing rapidly. Chiropractic care is beneficial for almost anyone, particularly athletes dealing with injuries or those wanting to prevent them.

How are Sport Injuries diagnosed
How are Sport Injuries treated?
To diagnose a sports injury, your Revive Chiropractic provider will review your health history and ask about your symptoms, such as when they began, their severity, and if they respond to rest or over-the-counter medication.
Next, they’ll check your muscle strength, reflexes, gait, and posture. A comprehensive exam follows, where the provider gently presses on the injured area to pinpoint signs like swelling, redness, or warmth. In some cases, they may recommend X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to rule out fractures or dislocated joints.
Once the source of discomfort is identified, we develop a personalized treatment plan.
How can I prevent Sport Injuries?
Sports Chiropractic Treatments
Sports chiropractic care involves treatments tailored to athletes’ specific needs, focusing on common issues that impact their performance. Some of the primary treatments include:
- Chiropractic Adjustments
Manual adjustments use hands or special instruments to manipulate joints and realign the spine. These adjustments reduce inflammation, improve joint range of motion, and alleviate pain, while enhancing nervous system function. - Myofascial Release
Myofascial release (MFR) manipulates the soft tissues to release restrictions, which can impede movement and joint function. These restrictions can cause imbalances that increase the risk of injury. Techniques like Graston, an instrument-assisted soft tissue method, help break up adhesions and improve mobility. - Muscle Re-education
Biofeedback helps athletes regain awareness of body movement and muscle imbalances. Once identified, specific exercises are prescribed to correct these imbalances and prevent future injuries. - Therapeutic Exercises
Chiropractic care often includes therapeutic exercises designed to improve posture, strengthen muscles, and prevent future injuries. These exercises can also prepare athletes for surgery or accelerate recovery after it.
Benefits of Seeing a Sports Chiropractor
- Injury Treatment
Chiropractic care helps reduce pain, restore motion, and decrease inflammation, helping athletes return to their sport faster and pain-free. - Injury Prevention
Chiropractors teach athletes strengthening exercises to minimize injury risks and correct imbalances that might lead to injuries. - Improved Body Awareness
Chiropractic care enhances awareness of your body’s movements, muscle imbalances, and posture. This knowledge helps athletes better target weak areas and improve performance. - Holistic Approach
Chiropractors treat the whole person, not just the injury. This approach ensures long-term recovery and prevents recurrence of problems. - Drug-Free Treatment
Chiropractors focus on natural remedies and avoid prescriptions or cortisone shots, which mask symptoms without addressing the underlying issue. - Non-Invasive Treatment
Sports chiropractors offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery, helping athletes heal faster and avoid extended downtime.

To ensure you receive the best care, look for a sports chiropractor who:
- Is recommended by your doctor or physical therapist
- Specializes in sports injuries
- Has a strong educational background and up-to-date license
- Has positive reviews and a solid reputation
