You do not have to be an athlete to need sports injury treatment in Germantown, WI. Runners, lifters, golfers, and weekend players all end up with sore backs, shoulders, knees, and heels. At Yentz Family Chiropractic we figure out what is hurt, what is safe to do, and how to get you back to your activity.
We start with an exam of the injured area and the joints above and below it, because the problem is often somewhere else along the chain. A sore knee can start in the hip, and a sore shoulder can start in the upper back. Care may include adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercises that fit your sport. Our sports injuries service page has more.
For certain soft tissue injuries, we may recommend SoftWave Therapy. It uses sound waves and does not need injections or surgery. Our SoftWave page lists tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and muscle injuries among the problems it may help. It is not right for every injury, and we decide after the exam.
A fresh, painful injury may need rest at first. Many injuries do better with gentle movement soon after. If you are not sure which is right for yours, call us before you guess.
Less pain does not always mean the tissue has healed. We look at movement and strength before we say you are ready to go back. If your pain is mostly in the back, read about back pain treatment in Germantown. Sore neck from training? See neck pain treatment in Germantown.
Most sports injuries come from doing too much too soon, or from a weak or stiff spot that other parts of your body had to cover for. Warm up before you play. Build up your time and effort a little at a time. Sleep well. Strengthen the muscles around your hips, core, and shoulders. When we find the weak link, we show you what to work on.
Runners often feel it in the knees, hips, and heels. Golfers and gardeners often feel it in the low back and elbows. Lifters tend to feel it in the shoulders and low back. These are only patterns. The exam tells us what is going on in your body.
