Frequent sports injuries include sprains and strains, knee injuries, shoulder injuries, Achilles tendonitis, and bone fractures. But most of all, chiropractic can also help with injury prevention. Therefore, athletes from all sports can benefit from chiropractic treatment.
Adjustments can help treat injuries from high-impact sports, i.e., wrestling, football, and hockey.

Both high-impact and low-impact athletes can benefit from routine spinal adjustments.
