We use sports injury chiropractic care to evaluate and treat injuries involving the spine, joints, muscles, ligaments, and related soft tissue. Treatment focuses on restoring movement, reducing pain, and helping the body recover more efficiently after sports-related strain or trauma. This type of care helps both competitive athletes and weekend athletes who develop pain from activity.

We regularly see patients with aching back, stiff neck, knee pain, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and sports hernias. We also treat other sports-related problems that affect joint function, movement, and performance. Even if an injury is not on that list, we still evaluate how chiropractic treatment may help.

We use chiropractic care to improve joint motion, reduce mechanical stress, and help the body move more efficiently during healing. Dr. Bakke also uses rehabilitation exercises to support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, control muscle spasm, improve range of motion, and rebuild strength and coordination. This combination helps us restore function so patients can return to activity more safely.

No. Chiropractic care can also support performance and injury prevention. Coaches and trainers often recommend care before and after activity because better movement can help reduce strain and improve physical readiness.

We customize rehabilitation exercises based on the stage of recovery and your individual needs. We show you how to perform each movement correctly, explain when to modify or progress it, and combine exercise with other services when needed to improve results.
