Sports Injuries

The frequency of visits depends on the nature of the injury and the treatment plan prescribed by your Chiropractor. Initially, more frequent visits may be necessary, followed by maintenance visits to prevent future injuries and ensure optimal performance. Chiropractors at MYo Lab have a clear intention of determining through a thorough assessment if we are confident we’ll be able to help you, at which point, we will provide a clear breakdown of the number of sessions and cost so you can make an informed decision.

Many people start to feel better within the first 3–4 visits. However, the care plan recommended for you is not just able to reduce pain but also address the underlying cause of the pain, so it’s important to follow the plan laid out for you. The second phase of care often begins once the pain is reduced and is focused on exercise rehab to correct the underlying causes of the injury.

Absolutely! Regular Chiropractic care can help prevent sports injuries by improving body mechanics, enhancing flexibility, and ensuring proper alignment. This can reduce the risk of injury and improve overall athletic performance. Of course, injuries can still happen even with the best-laid plan and adherence due to the uncertain nature of sports; if that happens, we have you covered. Many of us are athletes, too, and understand the importance of an efficient and sustainable return to sport rather than a continual cycle of injuries due to improper healing.

During a visit, our Chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment that may include a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly imaging studies. Based on the assessment, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include adjustments, therapies, and exercises.

No, Chiropractors can treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, not just those related to the back and neck. They can also address issues involving shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.

Yes, Chiropractic care can enhance athletic performance by improving joint function, increasing flexibility, reducing pain, and promoting faster recovery. This can lead to better overall physical performance and reduced risk of injury.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury, the individual’s health, and adherence to the treatment plan. Some injuries, if acute, may require a few weeks of care, while others that are chronic and long-term may need several months.

Injuries that are properly assessed, diagnosed, and treated have better outcomes overall than injuries that are either not rehabbed or where rest is the only intervention. We can help aid recovery by improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and optimizing biomechanics. Techniques like spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and tailored rehabilitation exercises help restore function and prevent re-injury.

That depends on the nature of your sport, the nature of your injury, and the timeline to recovery. Pain is often a signal in the body that something is wrong and needs to heal, and continuing to perform the activity that caused the injury in the same way will likely lead to a worsened injury. Return-to-sport is an important component of a robust care plan, and your Chiropractor will have specific milestones they want you to reach before returning to practice and full sports participation. Those milestones will be based on your injury, your level of play, and your sport, so it’s important to discuss your case with your Chiropractor.

If you think you’ve sustained a concussion or suffered a hit to the head while playing sports, it’s important to get assessed by a healthcare provider who has additional training in diagnosing and managing concussions. This assessment can confirm if you have a concussion and set up a return-to-sport plan for you to reduce your risk of long-term symptoms from the concussion.

We have a great concussion management program in place that includes everything from pre-season baseline testing to treatment and rehabilitation, focused on helping our members and athletes safely return to learning, working, and playing.

Concussions can present with symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, memory problems, or sensitivity to light and sound. If you experience any of these after a head injury, it’s important to seek professional care.
