Chiropractic and Sports Injuries 

Dr. Quintin Minni at Davis Chiropractic. Chiropractor in Lewiston/Auburn/Oxford/Lisbon Maine.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or someone who simply enjoys staying active, sports injuries can disrupt your performance and quality of life. From sprains and strains to repetitive overuse injuries, the body is often pushed to its limits during physical activity. Chiropractic care offers a natural and effective way to recover, prevent re-injury, and optimize performance.

​

Common Sports Injuries Chiropractors Help With

  • Muscle strains and ligament sprains

  • Shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries

  • Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow

  • Back and neck pain

  • Concussions and whiplash-type injuries

  • Overuse injuries from running or lifting

 

How Chiropractic Care Helps

  1. Restores Proper Joint Motion
    Misalignments or joint restrictions after injury can reduce mobility and create compensations. Adjustments restore normal function, improving range of motion and reducing pain.

  2. Reduces Pain & Inflammation
    Chiropractic adjustments, combined with soft-tissue therapies, decrease irritation around injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments—helping the body heal naturally.

  3. Supports Nervous System Function
    The nervous system controls strength, coordination, and balance. By improving nervous system communication, chiropractic care helps athletes recover faster and perform at their best.

  4. Prevents Re-Injury
    A customized care plan may include exercises, stretches, and posture training to strengthen weak areas and reduce the risk of future injuries.

Performance Benefits for Athletes

Even when not injured, many athletes choose chiropractic care to:

  • Enhance flexibility and mobility

  • Improve balance and coordination

  • Support quicker recovery after training

  • Gain a competitive edge in their sport
