What's Going On
Understanding Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can happen to anyone — from weekend warriors and recreational athletes to competitive players and fitness enthusiasts. Whether it's an acute injury from a single event or a nagging overuse issue that's been building for weeks, the pain and limitation can be incredibly frustrating.
The good news is that most sports injuries respond very well to chiropractic care, and early treatment can dramatically speed up your recovery timeline.
Playing through the pain only makes it worse.
At Path to Wellness Clinic of Chiropractic, Dr. Chitra Rajendran identifies the root cause of your injury and creates a recovery plan that gets you back to doing what you love — safely and completely.
