Sidelined by a sports injury?
Maybe it happened on the field, in a weekend basketball game, on a run, or just from one too many reps at the gym. However it happened, a sports injury has a way of taking over your whole week. You are favoring a knee, icing a shoulder, or sitting out the activity that usually keeps you sane, and you just want to know how to get back to it safely.
That is exactly what we help active people in Schertz do. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a youth athlete, or a parent chasing kids around, Dr. Carol Abel builds a plan around your body and your sport, not a generic protocol.
What a sports injury chiropractor actually treats
Sports injury care is not just for serious accidents. Most of what we see are sprains, strains, joint restrictions, and overuse injuries from running, weekend sports leagues, youth practice, or a gym routine that ramped up faster than the body could keep up with.
Adjustments help restore normal motion to a joint that has locked up around an injury, so the surrounding muscles and tissue can heal the way they are supposed to instead of compensating and creating a second problem. It helps runners with cranky knees and hips, weekend athletes with sore shoulders and backs, and youth athletes still learning how their growing bodies move.
Dr. Carol's whole body approach
Dr. Carol Abel, DC, is also a certified massage therapist, reiki practitioner, and manual osteopath, so a sports injury visit here is rarely just an adjustment. She trained in Diversified, Activator, Thompson, and Arthrostim techniques and picks whichever fits your injury and your comfort, not a one size fits all approach.
If tight, overworked muscles are part of the problem, massage therapy is available right in the office alongside your chiropractic care. Dr. Carol's own path to chiropractic came through her own recovery, and she brings that same patience, and a good sense of humor, to every athlete and weekend warrior who walks through the door. As she puts it, laughter is part of the healing process.
