Sports Injury Treatment in Sugar Land

Common Sports Injuries

Back Strain/Sprain/Overuse

Repetitive impact activities (running/jogging, playing basketball, weight training) that place extreme stress on the spine and back muscles often cause lower back pain and stiffness. Poor core strength and improper muscle firing can put you at a higher risk at creating back pain or injury.

Elbow Pain/Golfer’s Elbow

Repetitive motions, like swinging a golf club or tennis racket and overusing the elbow may cause tendonitis in your elbow. Symptoms include tenderness and pain on the inside or outside of your elbow and/or radiating pain into your lower and upper arm. Pain may worsen when you lift something, grip objects or flex your wrist.

Knee Pain

Athletes seeking sports injury treatment at Hogan Chiropractic for knee pain are frequently seen due to ligament sprains, tendon strains, meniscal, tears, or joint inflammation. Many of these conditions may present with knee swelling, joint clicking or catching, weakness, or severe knee pain.

Ankle Pain

Twisting or landing incorrectly on an ankle may sprain or severely stretch ankle ligaments. Defined by the type of ankle component damaged–tendons, ligaments or bones–ankle injuries can be fractures, sprains (ranging from tiny tears or a complete rupture in ligaments) or strains. Ankle strains are injuries to the tendons and muscles that have been stretched or pulled too far.

Whiplash

Victims of auto accidents are not the only ones who can suffer whiplash. Athletes playing contact sports like soccer or football may receive a sudden, powerful body hit that forcefully jerks their head forward and then rapidly backwards. Whiplash is a serious neck injury involving the cervical muscles, intervertebral joints, ligaments and discs comprising the neck and upper back.
