Playing sports is an exciting way to stay fit. However, athletes can become injured on game day if they do not take the proper precautions. Sports injuries range from muscle sprains and strains to painful joint subluxations or tears. Athletes of all levels know the importance of preventing injuries and effective recovery, so seeking treatment for these injuries is essential if you want to get back in the game. At Island Chiropractic & Next Step Physical Therapy of Hicksville, we offer exceptional rehabilitative care for sports injuries to help you achieve the fastest and most effective results.
What Are Sports Injuries?
Sports injuries can occur when engaging in sports or vigorous exercise. These injuries can result from overtraining, poor conditioning, and improper form. Some of the sports injuries we see at Island Chiropractic & Next Step Physical Therapy of Hicksville include:
- Ankle sprains and strains.
- Tennis elbow.
- Knee injuries.
- Shoulder injuries.
- Back and neck injuries.

These injuries can leave your body stiff and sore, limiting your range of motion. As a result, running, jumping, hitting, or kicking can become more challenging as well as you usually would.
