Focus on your Rehabilitation
Your first appointment will be no different from the usual osteopathic consultation and evaluation (see osteopathy page). You will be asked specific questions related to your particular sport or even to demonstrate some movements. Your diagnosis and treatment plan will be discussed in the usual way.
Treatment is likely to involve the use of osteopathic techniques within the treatment room combined with a more specific exercise based program in the studio gym. The aim is to return to full physical activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sports injuries are classified into two types: acute and chronic. Acute injuries happen suddenly and are characterized by immediate pain, bruising, limited range of motion, and pain during movement. Chronic injuries develop gradually and show symptoms such as increasing pain over weeks or months, pain during use of the affected area, inflammation, and weakness.
Healing times can differ based on the type and seriousness of the injury. Usually, the earlier you get chiropractic care, the quicker you’ll start feeling better. Our chiropractor will give you a rough idea of what to expect after the first check-up and physical exam.
Many sports injuries come from skipping warm-ups, neglecting to stretch, or diving into tougher workouts too quickly. Always warm up your muscles with a light walk for five to ten minutes before stretching. If you’re starting a new exercise routine or increasing your current one, gradually ease into it to avoid injuries like muscle pulls or stress fractures. If you do get hurt, stop the activity and apply ice. If pain persists, be sure to see our Portage chiropractor. Take care of your body!
Remember RICE—Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation! This effective method helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in the first 24 to 48 hours after an injury. If your pain continues beyond this window or if you’re experiencing reduced range of motion and strength, don’t wait. Contact our Portage chiropractor for expert care and support to help you recover!
Our chiropractors diagnose sports injuries by discussing the activity that caused the injury and conducting a physical examination. We also use imaging procedures, such as X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds, to check for broken bones and identify soft tissue damage.
