Sports Injuries

If you’re an athlete, the demands of performing well in sports can put a strain on your body, resulting in sprains, strains, muscle tears, chronic pain and other symptoms that can affect athletic performance. Our goal is to help athletes recover quickly from injury which can be addressed through a number of different therapies offered by our chiropractic professionals. Through diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Rivas can help treat pain caused by sports injuries and get you safely back on the field.

Many sports injuries can be treated through spinal manipulation and other chiropractic treatments with common symptoms and sports injuries that include:

• Tendinitis
