Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Sports injuries can affect muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Whether you’re injured during a high-impact game or a daily workout, our team at Power Health Colorado is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions.
Below are some of the most common sports injuries we treat.
- Sprains and strains: Often involving the ankles, knees, or wrists, these injuries are caused by overstretching or tearing ligaments or muscles.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons is usually caused by overuse. Tendonitis is especially common in the shoulders, elbows, knees, or Achilles tendon.
- Torn ligaments (e.g., ACL, MCL): Ligaments in the knees can tear during sports involving sudden stops or changes in direction.
- Meniscus injury: This common knee injury is often caused by twisting motions or impact.
- Shin splints: Pain along the shin bone frequently affects runners or athletes starting new routines.
- Stress fractures: Small cracks in bones usually come from repetitive force or overtraining.
- Rotator cuff injuries: Affecting the shoulder, these injuries can be caused by overuse, trauma, or poor mechanics.
- Dislocations and subluxations: Often involving shoulders or fingers, these injuries require proper management to prevent long-term issues.
- Nerve impingements and muscle imbalances: These issues can lead to chronic pain, weakness, and limited mobility.
No matter the injury, early and accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. At our sports injury clinic, we begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the extent of the injury and create a plan that addresses your specific needs.
Hiking Injuries
Hiking is a favorite outdoor activity in Colorado, but the rugged terrain and unpredictable elements can lead to a number of injuries. Common hiking injuries include ankle sprains, knee strains, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and muscle cramps.
More serious injuries can involve ligament tears or overuse injuries caused by extended climbs or carrying heavy gear. Slips and falls may also result in fractures or soft tissue damage. Our sports injury clinic can help you heal and get back on the trail.
Mountain Biking Injuries
Mountain biking demands strength, control, and balance. Unfortunately, falls are common. Injuries in this sport often include shoulder dislocations, wrist fractures, collarbone breaks, and concussions. Riders may also develop overuse injuries like lower back pain or knee strain from improper posture or equipment.
At our sports injury clinic, we treat acute and chronic mountain biking injuries using a combination of hands-on therapies and targeted rehabilitation to restore strength, stability, and range of motion.
Skiing Injuries
Colorado’s ski resorts attract thousands of enthusiasts every year, but skiing comes with its own set of injury risks. The most common skiing injuries include ACL tears, MCL sprains, skier’s thumb (a ligament injury to the thumb), and head injuries from falls or collisions. Cold weather and high speeds increase the chance of impact injuries and joint damage.
At Power Health Colorado, we’re experienced in managing ski-related injuries through customized treatment plans that support full recovery and long-term joint health.
Comprehensive Sports Injury Treatment
At Power Health Colorado, our approach to sports injury treatment is personalized and multifaceted. We integrate various medical disciplines to offer a full spectrum of care designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries. Each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their injury, fitness level, goals, and lifestyle.
Physical Medicine and Physical Therapy
Physical medicine and physical therapy are cornerstones of sports injury treatment. Physical medicine focuses on restoring function. This may involve joint injections, bracing, or specific modalities like ultrasound therapy or electrical stimulation.
Our physical therapy programs are built to increase strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and movement retraining, our physical therapists help you rebuild function while teaching techniques to prevent re-injury.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports rehabilitation services offer structured, progressive programs that help you regain strength and coordination. Whether you’re recovering from a torn ligament repair or a complex fracture, our physical rehab specialists guide you every step of the way. Our sports rehab programs often include:
- Functional movement training
- Balance and proprioception exercises
- Gait and posture correction
- Sports-specific drills to prepare for return to play
We believe in empowering patients through education, so you’ll understand the how and why of each step in your recovery. The goal is not just to heal, but to come back stronger and more resilient.
Neuro Rehab
Some sports injuries involve the nervous system, particularly in cases of concussions, nerve compression, or spinal trauma. Our neuro rehab services address these conditions through specialized therapies designed to retrain the brain and nervous system. This type of rehab may include:
- Cognitive therapy
- Vestibular rehabilitation for balance and dizziness
- Neuromuscular reeducation
- Coordination and reaction time training
Our neuro rehab team works closely with physical therapists and medical providers to deliver integrated care that targets both physical and neurological recovery. This is especially important for athletes in contact sports, where concussion management is critical.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is a cutting-edge area of treatment that helps accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. Our sports injury clinic offers advanced options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell-based treatments to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation. These therapies are particularly effective for:
- Chronic tendon injuries
- Joint pain and osteoarthritis
- Muscle tears
- Ligament sprains that haven’t healed with traditional care
By harnessing the body’s repair mechanisms, regenerative medicine can reduce recovery times and improve long-term outcomes. It is a non-surgical alternative that many athletes are turning to for faster, more complete recovery.
Pain Management
Managing pain effectively is key to staying active during recovery. Our pain management specialists focus on reducing discomfort without relying heavily on opioids or invasive procedures. We offer a variety of techniques, including:
- Acupuncture
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Joint injections
- Trigger point therapy
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications
- Medical massage
- Muscle relaxation strategies
Through a careful combination of therapies, we help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and support healing, all while keeping you comfortable and engaged in your recovery plan.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is another valuable component of sports injury treatment. Our chiropractors specialize in restoring proper alignment and function to the musculoskeletal system, which can reduce pain, increase mobility, and support performance. Sports-related chiropractic care includes:
- Spinal adjustments
- Soft tissue therapy
- Myofascial release
- Kinesiology taping
- Corrective exercises
Chiropractic care is often used in combination with physical therapy and rehabilitation, especially for athletes experiencing back, neck, or joint pain. By improving alignment and addressing biomechanical imbalances, chiropractic treatment helps optimize recovery and prevent future injuries.
