West Side Sports Injury Treatment

Conveniently located on 58th Street in Manhattan, New York City

At WestSide Comprehensive Chiropractic Care, we have several effective strategies to help patients dealing with sports and athletic related injuries.

Here are some ways our chiropractors can help:

1. Evaluation and diagnosis: Our Chiropractors are trained to assess and diagnose various musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries, whether they are in the spine or elsewhere in the body like the shoulder or knee. They will evaluate the extent of your injury, identify the affected areas, and determine the underlying causes contributing to your symptoms.
2. Spinal adjustments: At WestSide Comprehensive Chiropractic Care, chiropractors are well-known for their expertise in spinal adjustments. By using manual manipulation techniques or specialized tools, chiropractors can help restore proper alignment and mobility to the spine. This can reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall body movement.
3. Joint mobilization: In addition to the spine, we can apply mobilization techniques to other joints in the body, such as the shoulders, hips, knees, or ankles. Restoring proper joint motion and function can improve mobility and aid in the healing process.
4. Soft tissue therapies: Our chiropractors often employ various soft tissue therapies to address muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. These may include techniques such as massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and targeted stretching. These therapies can help relieve muscle tension, reduce scar tissue formation, and promote healing.
5. Rehabilitation exercises: Exercises to restrengthen injured areas are key to the recovery process, and our chiropractors can provide specific exercises and rehabilitation programs tailored to your sports injury. These exercises aim to not only strengthen the injured area but also improve flexibility, enhance coordination, and restore function. Once healed, our team can also provide guidance on exercise techniques to help prevent future injury.
6. Advice on lifestyle modifications: Our chiropractors can offer advice on ergonomics, posture correction, and injury prevention strategies. They may provide recommendations for modifications in training routines, warm-up and cool-down exercises, and proper body mechanics during physical activities. This guidance can help minimize the risk of re-injury and optimize your athletic performance. Overall, we want you to remain active and at your best performance level. Each of our doctors care about your ability to achieve an active and healthy lifestyle and will help you maintain it.
