Sports injuries often involve strained muscles, joint misalignment, or nerve compression caused by repetitive motion, sudden impact, or overuse. Common injuries include sprains, strains, shoulder and knee pain, and spinal misalignments from contact sports or repetitive athletic movements like running or swinging a golf club.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Athletic Recovery
Dr. Leidich evaluates your injury and movement patterns to identify the underlying cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper joint alignment and function, while physiotherapy strengthens supporting muscles and improves flexibility to prevent re-injury. Laser therapy is often used to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing, helping athletes return to their sport faster and safer.
