Common Athletic Injuries We Help
Athletes frequently experience injuries specific to their activities, often affecting extremities and joints. Dr. Wohlmaker’s specialized training allows him to effectively treat:
- Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff issues, impingement)
- Knee pain (runner’s knee, ligament strains)
- Ankle sprains and instability
- Elbow conditions (tennis/golfer’s elbow)
- Back and neck strain from repetitive motions
- Hip flexor and hamstring issues
- Headaches related to neck tension or impact
Many athletes find that regular chiropractic care not only addresses current problems but helps prevent future injuries by maintaining optimal biomechanics and identifying potential weaknesses before they develop into injuries.
Comprehensive Athletic Care Beyond Adjustments
Dr. Wohlmaker’s support extends beyond spinal adjustments to include a complete approach to athletic wellness. This may include kinesio taping techniques to support injured areas while allowing full range of motion, postural analysis to identify inefficient movement patterns, and gait evaluation for runners and other athletes where stride mechanics matter.
We can also provide guidance on proper warm-up and cool-down routines, dynamic stretching techniques, and sport-specific exercises to strengthen vulnerable areas. For those with recurring issues, we may suggest specialized orthotics or bracing to provide additional support during healing and performance.
Performance Nutrition and Lifestyle Guidance
Optimal athletic performance requires more than just physical training. Dr. Wohlmaker takes a holistic approach by addressing nutrition, recovery strategies, and lifestyle factors that influence your athletic capabilities. Proper hydration, balanced nutrition, and adequate recovery time are all critical components of peak performance and injury prevention.
