Sports Injuries

Nick E.

I came back to Wellspring 10 years after a prior successful rehabilitation.

I have had shoulder pain since an injury that occurred about five years ago. As an active watersports enthusiast, shoulder pain limited my ability to waterski and wakeboard in prior years. Before coming to Wellspring, I had numerous scans (x-rays, MRI) and reviewed with an orthopedic specialist. I was offered no resolution apart from surgery. Since working with the providers at Wellspring, I no longer have any activity limitations. The treatment at Wellspring is different than any other PT I have experienced. I feel like even though there is a standardized process, I get personalized care from every Wellspring team member. Wellspring is a perfect blend of spa, PT, and personal training.

"Wellspring Health Center helped me improve my overall health and posture. I had a sports injury, making it extremely difficult to walk and perform day-to-day activities. I am now more aware of how to prevent tension and improve posture through stretching and exercise. The staff was/is extremely caring, supportive, and friendly. I enjoyed working with all of the therapists - everyone was great! They worked well with me even when my insurance provider wouldn't. I noticed 100% improvement in my health and mobility from my first consultation."

"I had a shoulder injury from swimming - over-usage maybe. I called my insurance's member services. They listed PT places in my area and Wellspring Health Center sounded the most interesting. The last two months have been rewarding to come to Wellspring. The staff is very considerate and courteous. I am now back to almost everything. I like the added value of learning how to improve my posture and strengthen my core."

Pat R.

"My low back was accidentally hit by a golf cart. I was in a lot of pain and sitting was difficult. I attended a golf workshop and staff from Wellspring Health Center were there offering a free massage. I learned more about them and went in for a consultation. I was very impressed with their holistic approach... In the past when I have gone other places for various injuries, I was given exercise sheets to do on my own with very little "coaching". At Wellspring all of the staff pay attention to how you are doing. The exercises follow a progression and build on the basics. I can honestly say Wellspring Health Center has made a lifelong impact on my life."

Dan M.

"I had low back pain from playing golf. I could not work a full day and could not play golf or do my exercises. After treatment at Wellspring Health Center, my core strength and flexibility was greatly improved. I even have a better golf swing -more powerful with less stress on my back! I would recommend Wellspring to anyone."

Michael C.

"I injured my neck while squatting and started having shooting pain into my head whenever I lifted weights. I was really upset. It turned out I also had terrible posture too. Wellspring Health Center has the best team of healthcare professionals. I have ever worked with and some of the kindest, nicest, most patient people I've had the pleasure of knowing. Thank You!"

Why did I sustain a sports injury?

One of the most important aspects of sports injury rehabilitation is treating it as soon as possible. Time is critical, so it’s important to look for any type of sign that an injury has occurred, such as stiffness or swelling after participating in any athletic activities.

It could be happening for any number of reasons. Whether the injury is caused due to heavy weightlifting, your shoes not fitting properly, or because of the way you’re holding a bat or rolling your ankle while playing soccer — it can happen quite often.

Your treatment plan and duration of recovery will vary depending on how severe the injury is, your health history, and whether or not the injury requires surgical intervention.

Did you sustain one of these injuries?

While there are many different kinds of injuries that can happen while being active, the most common types of sports injuries are:

Shin splints

Officially known as “Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome”, shin splints refer to pain that is felt in the tibia. It usually results from stress placed on the muscle and tissues around it.

Shin splints are painful and can stop you from doing your favorite activities. In order to avoid shin splints, it’s important to wear proper shoes, to make sure your muscles are warmed up beforehand and that your core is strong enough to support your legs.

Knee injuries

Your knee is the most complicated joint in your body, so it’s not uncommon for people to suffer injuries. Common symptoms of a knee injury can include chronic and acute knee pain, limited movement or repetitive use injuries, or tears to the ACL.

Strain or “pulled muscle”

A strain can also be referred to as a pulled muscle. When your tendon connecting muscle to bone far exceeds its limit, the tendon is more likely to be overstretched again.

Sprain

A sprain happens when a ligament that connects one bone to another is stretched over its limit. If this is pulled too hard, it’s more likely that it’ll happen again.
