Helping Athletes Recover, Perform, and Stay Active
Sports injuries can affect athletes of all ages and activity levels. Whether you're a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, weightlifter, golfer, runner, or simply enjoy staying active, an injury can quickly interfere with your training, performance, and daily life.
At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate and treat a wide range of sports related injuries by identifying the underlying cause of symptoms and developing individualized treatment plans designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function.
Our goal is not only to help you recover from injury, but to help you return to the activities you enjoy with confidence.
Common Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can affect muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues throughout the body. Common conditions we evaluate include:
- Shoulder injuries & Rotator cuff
- Tennis & Golfer's elbow
- Knee pain
- Tendonitis
- Ankle sprains & foot pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Back pain & Neck pain
- Disc injuries
- Muscle strains & Overuse injuries
Because every injury is unique, treatment recommendations are based on a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.
Why Do Sports Injuries Happen?
Many injuries occur because of a combination of factors rather than a single event.
Common contributors include:
- Repetitive stress
- Limited mobility
- Joint restrictions
- Muscle imbalances
- Poor movement mechanics
- Training errors
- Previous injuries
- Sudden increases in activity
Identifying these contributing factors is an important part of helping athletes recover and reduce future injury risk.
How We Evaluate Sports Injuries
Every athlete receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made.
- Health history review
- Orthopedic testing
- Range of motion evaluation
- Strength assessment
- Functional movement analysis
- Gait assessment & Sport specific considerations
- Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate
The goal is to understand not only the injury itself, but how it is affecting overall movement and performance.
How We Treat Sports Injuries
Treatment recommendations are customized based on the athlete's injury, goals, and activity level.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Joint mobility plays an important role in athletic performance and recovery. Chiropractic adjustments may be incorporated into treatment plans to improve mobility, restore movement, and reduce mechanical stress affecting injured areas.
Extremity Adjustments
Sports injuries frequently involve joints outside of the spine, including the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Extremity adjustments may help improve joint function and support more efficient movement patterns during recovery.
SoftWave Therapy
Many sports injuries involve irritated tendons, ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues. SoftWave Therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans to support the body's natural healing response and address both acute and chronic sports related injuries.
Rehabilitation and Movement Recommendations
Successful recovery requires more than symptom relief. Depending on the injury, recommendations may include:
- • Mobility exercises
- • Strengthening exercises
- • Balance training
- • Corrective exercises
- • Return to sport progressions
- • Activity modifications
The goal is to help athletes recover fully and return to activity safely.


Sports Performance and Injury Prevention
Recovery is only one part of the equation. Many athletes also benefit from improving mobility, movement quality, and overall function to help reduce the likelihood of future injuries.
By identifying movement limitations and addressing underlying dysfunction, treatment can help support both recovery and long term performance.
