Sports Injury Treatment at Axis Chiropractic, P.A.

Sports injuries aren't limited to competitive athletes. Running, weight training, golf, recreational sports, hunting, and even weekend activities can lead to pain that keeps you from performing or participating at your normal level.

At Axis Chiropractic, we provide sports injury care for athletes and active individuals throughout New Ulm and surrounding Southern Minnesota communities. Our goal is to help you recover comfortably and return to the activities you enjoy.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, and same-day appointments are often available.

Some sports injuries have an obvious starting point—a fall, awkward movement, heavy lift, collision, or sudden pain during activity.

Others develop gradually. Repetitive training, increasing activity too quickly, limited recovery, previous injuries, or movement limitations can eventually cause symptoms even when there wasn't a single injury.

We commonly see:

• Back and neck pain
• Shoulder injuries
• Hip and knee pain
• Muscle strains
• Tendon and overuse injuries
• Running-related injuries
• Weightlifting injuries
• Throwing-related pain
• Golf-related injuries

We work with high school athletes, recreational athletes, runners, lifters, golfers, and people who simply want to remain active.

For an active person, simply being pain-free while sitting on the couch isn't always the goal.

We want to understand what movements cause your symptoms and what your sport or activity requires from your body. Treatment recommendations are based on your injury, activity level, movement, and goals.

When appropriate, care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue treatment, exercises, and recommendations for gradually returning to activity.

We may also look at training volume, movement patterns, mobility, recovery, and previous injuries that could be contributing to the problem.

Minor soreness after exercise is normal. Persistent or worsening pain is different.

Consider having an injury evaluated when pain changes the way you move, forces you to reduce training, repeatedly returns, limits strength or mobility, or doesn't improve as expected.

Significant swelling, inability to bear weight, obvious deformity, suspected fracture or dislocation, or significant weakness or neurological symptoms should receive appropriate medical evaluation.

Axis Chiropractic has served New Ulm and surrounding Southern Minnesota communities for more than 40 years. We provide individualized conservative care for athletes and active people who want to recover from an injury and get back to doing what they enjoy.

Walk-ins are welcome during normal business hours, and appointments are available for patients who prefer to schedule ahead.
