Sports Injury Treatment in Shelby Township
Sports Chiropractic & Physical Therapy–Based Care
Sports injuries are commonly caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction, overuse, and impaired movement mechanics, rather than a single traumatic event alone. Restricted joint motion, muscle imbalance, and poor movement control can place excessive stress on the body, leading to pain, inflammation, and reduced athletic performance.
At Ramar Chiropractic & Rehab, sports injury treatment focuses on identifying and correcting the mechanical and movement-related factors contributing to injury. Our integrated chiropractic and physical therapy approach is designed to restore mobility, improve strength and control, and help prevent recurrent injuries.

Understanding Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can range from acute strains and sprains to chronic overuse conditions. They often affect the joints, muscles, ligaments, or tendons and may result from repetitive activity, improper technique, or inadequate recovery.
​
In many cases, sports injury symptoms originate from restricted joint motion, muscular overactivity, and poor movement control. Dysfunction in one area can create compensations elsewhere in the body, increasing the risk of injury and prolonging recovery.
Common Contributors to Sports Injuries
Sports injuries often develop when the body is placed under repeated or prolonged stress. Common contributing factors include:
-
Improper technique during training or competition
-
Muscle tightness or imbalance
-
Restricted joint mobility in affected areas
-
Weakness in stabilizing muscles
-
Repetitive or high-impact activity
-
Previous injuries or inadequate recovery
-
Physical or emotional stress
Athletes and active adults are particularly prone to injuries due to mechanical overload and movement inefficiencies.
Symptoms Commonly Associated with Sports Injuries
Individuals with sports injuries may notice:
-
Pain or stiffness in joints, muscles, or connective tissues
-
Swelling or inflammation around the affected area
-
Reduced range of motion or strength
-
Difficulty performing athletic movements or daily activities
-
Symptoms that worsen with activity or repetitive use
Left untreated, sports injuries can interfere with training consistency, competition performance, and overall mobility.
