Whether you’re an athlete training for competition or someone who just tweaked a knee at the gym, sports injuries can set you back. Chiropractic care can help you recover faster, move better, and get back to the activities you enjoy.
At Westport Chiropractic & Rehab, we provide hands-on care for sports injuries of all types. We also help you correct the movement patterns that lead to overuse, strains, and reinjury.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
We work with runners, lifters, weekend warriors, and high school athletes across Louisville. Some of the most common injuries we see include:
- Sprains and strains
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Knee and ankle pain
- Shoulder pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Back pain
- Neck tension from impact or poor posture
- Recurring injuries that don’t fully heal
You don’t need to be a competitive athlete to benefit. If you’re active and hurting, we can help.
How Chiropractic Helps with Sports Injuries
We don’t just adjust your spine and send you out the door. We take a functional approach to injury recovery—looking at how your body moves, how muscles fire, and what needs to change.
Treatment may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments for spinal and extremity alignment
- Shockwave therapy to stimulate tissue repair
- Manual therapy for muscle and fascia tension
- Decompression therapy for disc and spinal load issues
- Movement screening and advice to correct faulty mechanics
Our goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent the injury from returning.
Functional Movement Matters
Functional movement is how your body moves during real-life activities—walking, lifting, reaching, squatting. If one joint is out of sync, others compensate. That leads to strain and breakdown over time.
We look at:
- Range of motion
- Core stability
- Muscle activation
- Balance and symmetry
By correcting these patterns, we help you not just feel better—but move better. Long-term.
