Sports Injury Chiropractic Care
Helping Athletes Recover, Perform, and Stay in the Game
Trusted Sports Injury Treatment for Active Teens, Athletes, and Families
Sports injuries can affect anyone, from dedicated athletes and active teenagers to weekend warriors and developing children. At Core Chiropractic, we offer specialized chiropractic care for sports injuries aimed at promoting proper healing, enhancing movement, and ensuring a safe return to your activities.
Whether you're facing an immediate injury, persistent discomfort, or chronic pain, our focus is on tackling the underlying causes rather than merely alleviating the symptoms, allowing you to recover with assurance.
We are proud to serve St. Albert, Edmonton, and the surrounding areas, supporting athletes and active families in maintaining strength, mobility, and resilience.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Sports injuries aren't always evident or dramatic. They often begin as minor discomfort that can progressively worsen if neglected. We regularly assist with:
- Muscle strains and tears
- Ligament sprains
- Tendon injuries (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
- Joint injuries (shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist)
- Low back and neck injuries
- Overuse injuries
- Growth-related sports injuries in youth athletes
- Post-workout muscle soreness (including DOMS)
If an injury is hindering performance, prolonging recovery time, or impacting daily movement, chiropractic care may provide relief.
Sports Injury Symptoms We Commonly See
Not sure if what you’re feeling is normal or something to address? Athletes often visit us with symptoms such as:
- Persistent muscle tightness or soreness
- Sharp or dull pain during or after activity
- Reduced range of motion
- Joint stiffness or instability
- Pain that worsens with movement
- Discomfort that doesn’t improve with rest
- Pain that keeps returning after workouts or games
These symptoms may be signs that your body isn’t recovering properly or that an underlying issue needs attention.
It's not uncommon to experience some level of soreness after engaging in exercise, especially when the intensity of your training regimen sees a noticeable increase. This type of discomfort is often a normal response of the body as it adapts to new physical challenges and stresses. However, if you find that the pain:
- Persists for more than just a few days
- Worsens progressively over time,
- Impacts your exercise technique or overall posture
- Disrupts your sleep schedule or interferes with your daily activities
Then it could indicate that there’s something more serious going on that goes beyond typical muscle fatigue. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more significant problems down the line. Addressing these concerns early on is essential, as timely intervention can effectively prevent minor issues from escalating into long-term injuries that could sideline you for an extended period. Taking care of your body now will help ensure its longevity and performance in the future.
