Sports and Active Care in Smithville
Whether you’re nursing a nagging injury from a weekend pickleball match or working to get back on the field after a training injury, chiropractic care may be one part of getting you moving again. Smithville Chiropractic Clinic provides sports and active care for people of every age and activity level, from kids starting a new sport to lifelong recreational players.
Care for Every Level of Activity
Young athletes, competitive high school and club players, weekend warriors and adults in recreational leagues can all experience injuries that interfere with the activities they enjoy. Most people come in because something hurts, but care may also focus on mobility, flexibility and areas that could be affecting how someone moves as their activity level changes.
That can be particularly helpful for someone returning to exercise after time away or taking up a new activity like pickleball.
Common Sports Injuries We See
Sports and activity injuries can show up in many different ways. Some common reasons people visit include:
- Low back strains
- Shin splints
- Knee and hip pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow and rotator cuff strains
Care is based on the specific injury, examination findings and demands of the person’s sport or activity.
A Hands-On Approach to Care
Depending on what is found, care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, acupuncture, ultrasound therapy, extremity work and kinesio taping. The goal is to address the areas involved and provide recommendations suited to the person’s current activity level.
The new patient process is generally the same as for other chiropractic visits. If a concussion is suspected, however, a more extensive evaluation is needed.
