Understanding Sports Injuries

Physical activity places constant demand on your muscles, joints, and spine. Over time—or due to a sudden impact or accident—these structures can become injured. Common sports injuries include sprained ankles, pulled muscles, tendonitis, joint pain, and overuse injuries such as tennis elbow and runner's knee. Athletes may also experience back and neck pain from improper movement patterns, poor posture, or underlying imbalances in the spine.

Many people attempt to push through the pain, hoping the injury will resolve on its own. Unfortunately, untreated sports injuries often worsen over time, leading to chronic discomfort and long-term mobility issues. Addressing injuries early not only relieves pain but also helps protect your body from further damage.

Our Approach

At Axis Chiropractic, Dr. Lee Russo takes a whole-body approach to treating sports injuries. His goal is to address not just the injury itself, but the underlying causes that contributed to it, such as poor posture, muscle imbalances, or spinal misalignments. By improving the alignment and function of your musculoskeletal system, your body can heal properly and efficiently.

Your care may involve gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore joint motion and relieve pressure on nerves, allowing injured tissues to heal without unnecessary strain. Dr. Russo may also incorporate therapies such as Class IV laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair, traction therapy, decompression therapy, as well as targeted exercises designed to rebuild strength and flexibility. Each treatment plan is customized to your specific injury and athletic goals.

Education plays a key role in your recovery. Dr. Russo will help you understand the mechanics behind your injury and provide guidance to help prevent it from happening again. Whether you're dealing with a recent sprain or a long-standing overuse injury, Axis Chiropractic offers a clear path toward healing and improved performance.
