Get Back in the Game: Sports Injury Care for Athletes
From rec-league pickleball to high-school football, sports are tough on joints and soft tissues. Common issues we treat at Hugo Chiropractic include ankle sprains, runner’s knee, shoulder impingement, low back strains, and neck “stingers” from poor posture during training or injuries during a game.
Our approach: 1) Precise diagnosis (motion testing + orthopedic checks), 2) Chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mechanics, 3) Soft-tissue treatment for tight or guarded muscles, and 4) Rehab progressions to build stability and prevent re-injury.
We also assess footwear, warm-up routines, and recovery habits so you can train smarter.
Local angle: We routinely care for athletes from Forest Lake High School, White Bear Lake High School, Centennial High School, Hill Murray School, Mahtomedi High School, and Stillwater High School—especially during pre-season and tournament stretches when training volume spikes.

How is sports chiropractic different from regular chiropractic?
Sports chiropractic focuses on both joints and soft tissues. Along with traditional adjustments, we incorporate muscle release, stretching, and corrective exercises to restore motion and prevent re-injury. The goal isn’t just short-term relief — it’s helping athletes move efficiently and perform better.
Do you treat more than just back or neck pain?
Absolutely. We see athletes for shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle injuries, as well as muscle strains, tendinitis, and overuse conditions. Our care addresses the entire kinetic chain — joints, muscles, and movement patterns — so the problem doesn’t just shift somewhere else.
How soon can I get back to training or playing?
That depends on the injury and your sport, but our active-care approach usually allows athletes to stay moving safely while they heal. We’ll create a progressive plan of adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, stretching, and strengthening so you return to play as soon as your body’s ready — not a week later.
