Our Treatment Approach

Care begins with an evaluation of your symptoms, health history, movement, activity level, previous injuries, and goals. Depending on the condition, this may include assessment of joint mobility, muscle function, strength, movement patterns, and other findings relevant to your symptoms.

Your individualized care plan may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilization when appropriate to address restricted or uncomfortable joint movement
• Massage therapy and soft-tissue techniques to address muscle tension, soreness, stiffness, and other soft-tissue concerns
• Stretching, mobility, and strengthening exercises to improve movement, strength, stability, and function
• Balance and stability exercises when appropriate for the injury or activity
• Lifestyle, ergonomic, and activity recommendations based on your work, sport, exercise habits, and goals
• Nutritional and wellness support when appropriate as part of an overall healthy lifestyle

The goal is to help reduce discomfort, improve mobility and function, rebuild strength and control when needed, and support a safe return to work, exercise, sports, and everyday activities.

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Sports injuries can involve joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other musculoskeletal structures. Rehabilitation recommendations depend on the type of injury, severity, activity demands, and stage of recovery.

A rehabilitation program may include:

• Mobility and range-of-motion exercises
• Strengthening exercises
• Balance and stability training
• Movement and functional exercises
• Gradual return-to-activity recommendations
• Education about training, recovery, and activity modification

Dr. Matt Kelly, DC, MS has advanced education in Sports Injury Management and works with athletes and active patients who want to return to the activities they enjoy.

Care for Chronic Joint & Musculoskeletal Conditions

Some joint and musculoskeletal symptoms develop gradually or continue for an extended period of time. These concerns may be associated with previous injuries, repetitive activity, degenerative changes, reduced mobility, muscle weakness, work demands, exercise habits, or other factors.

For patients with ongoing symptoms, care is individualized based on current function, examination findings, activity level, and goals. Treatment may focus on improving mobility, strength, movement, comfort, and the ability to remain active.

Frequently Asked Questions About Joint Pain & Sports Injuries

Can chiropractic care help with joint pain?

Chiropractic care may be used as part of a conservative treatment plan for certain musculoskeletal joint concerns. Depending on the condition, care may include joint mobilization or adjustments, rehabilitation, strengthening, mobility work, and soft-tissue techniques.

Do you work with sports injuries?

Yes. Elite Chiropractic works with athletes and active patients dealing with sports and exercise-related musculoskeletal injuries. Care is individualized based on the type of injury, symptoms, examination findings, activity demands, and recovery goals.

Can I continue exercising while receiving treatment?

Many patients can remain active while receiving care, although certain exercises or activities may need to be temporarily modified. Recommendations depend on the injury, symptoms, activity demands, and stage of recovery.

How long does a sports injury take to recover?

Recovery time varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, how long symptoms have been present, the tissues involved, activity demands, and other individual factors.

Do I need X-rays or other imaging?

Not every joint or sports injury requires imaging. X-rays, MRI, or other imaging may be considered when the history, examination findings, severity of the injury, trauma, or progress suggest that additional evaluation would be useful.

When should a joint or sports injury receive urgent medical evaluation?

Seek prompt medical evaluation for severe pain after significant trauma, obvious deformity, inability to bear weight, significant swelling, loss of sensation, rapidly worsening weakness, signs of infection, or other concerning symptoms.

Can massage therapy be combined with sports injury care?

Yes. Some patients use
massage therapy
alongside chiropractic care, rehabilitation, or mobility work to address muscle tension, soreness, stiffness, and other soft-tissue concerns when appropriate.
