Sports Injury in San Antonio TX: If you’re an athlete, you understand the numerous demands of participating in a sport. Putting your body through these activities, such as running, jumping or tackling, can result in painful tears, sprains and strains. Seeing a chiropractor can help you heal faster when you’ve suffered sports injuries and helps to prevent them.
Sports Injuries Can Limit Your Performance and Cause Pain
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. This can happen in countless ways, depending on what activity you are doing or what sport you are playing in. As an active person, it is important for you to take precautionary measures, but sometimes injuries happen. Often these conditions are a result of injuries suffered years or even decades ago that did not heal properly.
Children and teens tend to ignore what seem to be small injuries when they are active. But if an injury is left untreated, this can lead to chronic pain in other areas, that may not even be directly related to the focal point of the injury, such the knees, hips, back and neck. Many sports injuries are insufficiently treated and allowed to rest and heal, increasing the odds that they will cause chronic pain later in life. This can lead to pain, frustration and decrease your athletic abilities.
Sports or training injuries can cause the following symptoms:
- Swelling
- Burning, dull pain
- Headaches
- Muscle Pains
- Inflammation
- Muscle Spasms
Sports Injuries can Cause Further Injuries if Not Treated
Chiropractors can help athletes by relieving their pain and helping them heal faster after an injury. Many athletes try to mask pain with medication, but this can lead to further risk and damage to the body. At Comprehensive Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, our trained staff will perform a full evaluation. We will construct a treatment plan to get you feeling your best and back to doing what you love.
Although many people think that chiropractic is solely limited to the spine, chiropractors treat and can help prevent injuries of the neck, back, shoulders, knees, ankles and more. When the spine is perfectly aligned, this can alleviate tension in the body, decreases inflammation and allows the nervous system to function optimally.
When the spine is aligned, vital nutrients, water and body can travel throughout the body easily. It can also increase the immune system, which is ideal for anyone with a busy and active lifestyle. This allows the body to function better and become less susceptible to injury. If you’re experiencing pain from a sports injury, consider seeing a chiropractor. You may want to schedule regular check-ups to prevent injuries and to keep your body performing properly.

I have been at Comprehensive Chiropractic for about 1 month. It has been a great experience. Dr. Oliver is wonderful and very thorough in assessing the problem, developing a treatment plan and executing the plan. He evaluates and re-evaluates to make sure each patient is progressing and pain is going away. The staff is kind and courteous and go above and beyond to make very visit smooth and productive. The facility is also amazing. This is my first time going to a chiropractor and it has completely exceeded my expectations. I recommend Comprehensive Chiropractic highly.

Dr. Oliver and staff are absolutely amazing! Dr. Oliver walked me through my scans and described my treatment thoroughly, which made me feel at ease knowing I was in good hands (literally and figuratively). His staff is always so nice and welcoming. You can tell they truly love what they do and are so great to work with. If you need a good chiropractor, look no further.

Dr. Oliver is awesome! I came to see him with a running injury, and after a few visits he had me running pain free again!

I highly recommend this office! I started seeing Dr. Oliver after a car accident and I have never experienced a chiropractor who did more than a simple adjustment. Dr. Oliver incorporates stretching and other treatments in addition to the adjustment with each session. He takes the time to build a specialized treatment plan for each of his patients. It has been so helpful. I am also very impressed with his staff. They are super efficient, personable, and a joy to see with each visit.

I have had chronic headaches and neck pain since early childhood. I have been to 6 chiropractor’s in my life. Some gave me temporary relief of pain but they never took care of the underlying problem. In 2016, I learned about Dr. Oliver who is a Physical Therapist & a Chiropractor. I started going to see him and through his complete and thorough approach he is changing the curves in my spine. I rarely have a headache and only periodic neck pain when I haven’t done the exercises he taught me. I feel empowered that I can now do something to help myself! Recieving care from Dr. Oliver, who is both skilled and friendly, has been life changing for me. I write this review in hopes that others may find lasting relief for yourselves through Dr. Oliver’s complete approach.

Dr. Oliver and staff are very professional and obviously care about their patients. I first arrived with a debilitating pinched nerve in my neck, and they made room for me the next day. The initial treatment, including the cold laser, gave me 90% relief by day 2! At my second appointment Dr. Oliver spent a lot of time with me reviewing my xrays and my condition, explaining why I was hurting and what he recommended my treatment should be. I signed up for ongoing treatments to help restore the curve in my neck. I am still in that process, and my neck has not had a pinched nerve in it since. It has been a couple of months now. I am grateful to the entire staff for their care and concern. They operate as a well-oiled machine and are extremely kind and helpful. I highly recommend them!

Doctor Oliver and his staff are wonderful! I would recommend him to everyone.


Dr. Oliver and his team at Comprehensive Chiropractic and Physical Therapy are so awesome!! I have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. He has helped me in my recovery with my sciatic nerve pain and the reshaping of my spine and has me feeling great again. The staff is wonderful and super helpful and very friendly. They take the time to ask how are you doing and will answer any and all questions you may have. Choosing Dr. Oliver was one of the best decision’s I’ve have ever made, he put together a plan in place in helping me with my recovery. I highly recommend going to Comprehensive Chiropractic and Physical Therapy they helped me and they will definitely help you in your recovery as well.
