The sports and activities that we participate in to keep us healthy can, unfortunately, lead to injury in some instances. Participating in sports exerts tremendous stress on the joints and spine.
Chiropractic care for sports injuries can assist you in rehabbing your injury, regaining strength, and avoiding any sign of injury recurrence.
Sports injuries can sideline you from the game you love and keep you from the activities that you enjoy. If an injury isn’t treated properly and healed, you may overcompensate and risk further injury. If you’ve experienced an injury, it’s important to take it seriously and address the issues as quickly as possible so that you don’t aggravate an injury beyond simple repair. We want to help you get back to your sport as quickly as possible, without risking any long-term issues.
If you have experienced a recent sports injury, make sure to call Cornerstone now to see how we can help!
A chiropractor addresses restrictions in the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. They will correct these restrictions in different areas of the body by aligning joints to improve healing, circulation, and range of motion, to restore health and function. Treatment for a sports injury provided by a licensed chiropractor can not only help the athlete recover faster, but can also improve their overall athletic performance.
An athlete’s body faces many physical challenges, especially during training season. These activities can result in strains, sprains, and tears. An injury will often occur when an athlete is new to the sport, overtrains, or doesn’t use the right safety equipment.
While participating in sports can help maintain a person’s health and fitness, injuries are extremely common. Some common symptoms due to sports injuries include:
Speed, balance, strength, and range of motion can all impact an athlete’s performance. An injury can negatively impact all of these factors, permanently or temporarily.
Chiropractic treatment targets joints, providing adjustments that will align each joint of the body. By addressing misaligned joints, range of motion, flexibility, and circulation are improved.
Chiropractic care uses a whole-body philosophy, recognizing that the joints in the human body don’t exist in isolation, and an injury to one joint can impact neighboring joints. This is often true of the lower limb and spinal injuries, as a knee injury can affect the hip and feet as well, due to compensation patterns following the injury.
When it comes to a sports injury, at Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center, our chiropractors are specially trained to assess, identify, and manage these injuries, working closely with a patient to create a treatment plan that will help them recover faster and meet their wellness goals. During your first appointment at Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center, your chiropractor will assess your current and past medical history and will conduct an exam that may include X-rays.
Your chiropractor will also go over your regular physical routine, address any concerns you may have, and review your goals. If you’re dealing with a decrease in range of motion, a sprain, strain, or severe pain, your chiropractor will be able to identify blockages, misalignments, or injuries that are responsible for your symptoms.
Based on the results of the initial evaluation, the doctor will go over treatment recommendations. The technique we use is gentle and non-invasive, which makes it a great fit for a wide range of patients. There is no twisting, cracking or jerking of the spine. Our technique allows us to provide scientific and specific adjustments to address your injury for long-lasting results!
We also incorporate rehabilitative stretches and strengthening exercises to address any muscular imbalances throughout the body. Our goal is to help our patients achieve optimal results as quickly as possible.
Based on your injury, your chiropractor will create a recovery plan that will encourage you to schedule regular visits for long-term prevention. Regular treatment can help correct any misalignments that can increase your risk of certain injuries, will reduce inflammation and pain, and increase your flexibility and range of motion. Long-term treatment will not only help lower your risk of an injury, but it can also improve your athletic performance.
If you choose to stay physically active, injuries are bound to happen, but don’t let that discourage you from achieving your fitness goals. Just make sure that you seek regular chiropractic care. The treatment you receive at Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center can reduce your risk of future injuries and enhance your body’s natural healing process. If you suffered a sports injury, or you want to lower your risk of sustaining an injury in the future, contact us today at (605) 540-4004 to schedule an appointment, and let us help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

I was referred to Dr. Mike Kronaizl at Cornerstone Chiropractic by a friend at a time I was experiencing extreme back pain. I was afraid I was facing back surgery and wanted to avoid it if at all possible. I "hobbled" into his office, and we set up a plan for treatment. I am almost pain free now. His staff is very accommodating, and he is a very understanding and a truly caring person. He has my 100% endorsement.
Dr. Kroinazl has been exceptional in the care he has provided me. When I started seeing him I was dealing with neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain, and sciatica that was not only limiting my ability to enjoy my job along with my hobbies but also the joy and happiness that had come with them. He sat down with me and laid out a transparent plan and timeline to help me reach my goals. I must admit, as skeptical as I was initially, he knew exactly what he was talking about and what he was doing. I am now pain free and able to not only do my job and my hobbies, but enjoy them as well.
Dr. Mike is working wonders on my neck n shoulder blades. I went from having numbness in my arms constantly to hardly any symptoms at all. I'm in the construction business n in constant pain so I'm glad I found him n his staff . Greatly appreciated.
I have had scoliosis since a child. I have been in severe pain for years. I started going to Dr. Mike in late August. He already has me feeling so much better. The sciatic nerve pain is gone and the slipped disc is healing. I was in so much pain that getting out of bed was difficult. I could barely make it through the day without taking natural pain killers. I am able to do so much more in just a few weeks of care!
I’d been having terrible sciatic pain for 6+ months. It was to the point I could barely walk, my leg would give out, I needed 2 hands on the railing to use steps, couldn’t sit, I was miserable, and I should add I’m only 41! A coworker recommended Dr. Mike and I wish I would’ve taken her advice sooner! Everything I thought I knew about chiropractic care has gone out the window- what Dr. Mike is doing is amazing! I’m 1 month into treatment and feel amazing! I can do stairs without using the railing, can sit on my couch again, and my limp is almost gone! I recommend Dr. Mike to everyone!!!
I was sceptical regarding chiropractic care until I started treatment at Cornerstone Chiropractic with Dr. Mike. Pain in my left hip that sometimes shot down my leg is virtually gone, and I am halfway through the treatment process. I have had muscle tension and soreness in my neck and shoulders for years and that is greatly improved too.
Dr. Kronaizl cares deeply about others achieving great health and he goes the extra mile to make sure you get the best care possible. He's honest, genuine, and great Dr. to work with!
I've had back pain for nearly three years and after many failed attempts with other therapies and chiropractic care, I decided to go see Dr. Kronaizl. After only a few weeks of treatment, I feel like I have my life back again! I highly recommend Dr. Kronaizl! Schedule that appointment, the only thing you'll regret is not scheduling it sooner.
I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain for quite some time and it had been gradually getting worse. The pain made it difficult for me to sleep at night and it got to the point where it was difficult to lift my grandson. After seeing Dr. Kronaizl I have no issues lifting my grandson and I’m no longer waking up in the middle of the night due to the pain, which is huge! I highly recommend Dr. Kronaizl. He’s performed wonders on my shoulder!
Dr. Michael is wonderful! I've had back pain and weaknesses for years, after each visit I'm getting stronger and feeling better! No back pain is my new normal!
Dr. Michael is someone I fully trust with my body. His adjustments feel great and get awesome results, especially after a car accident injury!
Dr. Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable and took time to explain things so I could understand and make an informed decision on my care and I thoroughly trust his knowledge and skill. I look forward to continuing my care and finding the relief I’ve been needed.
Dr Kronaizl is very knowledgeable and kind. He states exactly what he is doing and why. His concern is me and my pain and improving my problems. I I highly recommend him to everyone
Dr. Mike is personable and listens to his patients. My primary interaction with him was with one of my wrestlers that was tryin to get back on the mat after numerous surgeries. He tried and tried and continued to have problems with his shoulder. He was sidelined for a good portion of his senior year. Dr. Mike started working with him a couples days a week. This last for for about 8 weeks. He was ultimately able to compete and placed 3rd in the state tournament. What is truly unique is that he had gone to numerous other experts and the results were always the same. It was different with Dr. mike and so were the results. This guy does it right and gets results! I strongly recommend him.
Dr Kronaizl is wonderful! He goes above and beyond to help get you out of pain. I would 100% recommend him!
Dr. Michael is phenomenal! Great adjustments, great bedside manner, and he really cares. Cannot recommend his care enough!
Dr. Michael was very professional and personable. I finally went in after experiencing back pain for nearly a month and felt so much better after one adjustment. Highly recommend!
Dr. Michael is a true professional who not only provided me with adjustments that worked, but did so in such a caring and polite manner with my health top of mind. I highly recommend Dr. Michael to anyone seeking chiropractic care!
