Sports Injuries
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, runner, lifter, golfer, tennis player, or just trying to stay active, sports injuries can keep you from doing what you enjoy. At Medford Chiropractic, we help identify the source of pain, improve movement, and support recovery so you can return to activity safely and confidently.

Our Approach
Sports injuries are often caused by a combination of tissue irritation, poor mobility, repetitive stress, weakness, or compensation patterns. Our goal is not only to reduce pain, but also to help the injured area function better.
Care may include:
-
Chiropractic adjustments
-
Soft tissue therapy
-
Corrective exercises
-
Mobility and flexibility work
-
Rehab-based strengthening
-
Posture and movement coaching
-
Return-to-activity guidance
Shockwave Therapy for Sports Injuries
For many tendon, muscle, and soft tissue injuries, we may recommend shockwave therapy as part of your care plan. Shockwave therapy uses acoustic wave energy to stimulate healing activity in injured tissue, improve circulation, reduce pain, and support tissue repair.
Shockwave therapy may be helpful for:
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendonitis
-
Patellar tendon pain
-
Tennis elbow
-
Golfer’s elbow
-
Shoulder tendon irritation
-
Hip and gluteal tendon pain
-
Chronic muscle and tendon injuries
This treatment is non-surgical, does not require medication, and is often used for injuries that have not fully resolved with rest, stretching, or basic home care.
Get Back to Moving Better
Pain should not be the thing that decides what you can and cannot do. We’ll evaluate your injury, explain what is likely causing the problem, and create a care plan designed to help you recover and return to the activities you enjoy.
