Elbow pain

Some common injuries in the elbow are:

• Golfer’s elbow ( aka “medial epicondylitis”) – This is pain and inflammation of the tendons on the medial side of the elbow and forearm due to overuse of these tendons. It is commonly referred to as Golfer’s elbow because during the golf swing these tendons are put under an intense amount of repetitive stress. However, medial epicondylitis can occur as the result of many repetitive activities. It can be very painful and limiting.
• Little league elbow (aka “medial epicondylitis”) – Very similar to Golfer’s elbow, but this commonly occurs in young athletes competing in overhead throwing sports. In addition to inflammation in the tendons on the medial side of the elbow and forearm, these young athletes have inflammation in the growth plates in their elbow. This can be extremely painful and debilitating.
• Tennis elbow (aka “lateral epicondylitis”) – This is pain and inflammation in the tendons on the lateral side of the elbow and forearm due to overuse of these tendons.  It is commonly referred to as Tennis elbow because there is a tremendous amount of repetitive stress put on these tendons in the swinging motion in tennis.  However, lateral epicondylitis can occur as the result of many repetitive activities putting stress on these tendons.  It can be extremely painful and limiting.

Our combination approach will help get you back playing your sport in no time!  Schedule an assessment with us, and let’s get you pain free.

Back pain

This is the most common reason people visit a chiropractor. And yes, this is something we at Strong and Active have a tremendous amount of experience treating. Each person has a very unique experience when it comes to back pain, and the recovery should be specific to each individual. Common back pain experiences:

• You’ve had a dull ache for years and haven’t gotten around to treating it
• You landed wrong while grabbing a rebound and have had a sharp pain ever since
• You have a sharp pain with sciatic symptoms that shoot down one or both legs
• You stood up too fast, or picked something up with bad technique, and now can’t stand up straight without pain

Whatever the reason is that you’re experiencing back pain, we can help!  Common injuries we treat are strains/sprains of the muscles/ligaments, sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, facet joint dysfunction, and many more.  Our multidisciplinary approach will get you back doing the things you love.  Schedule an assessment with us now.

Hip pain is very common and can be very debilitating in sports performance. Common hip injuries we treat at Strong and Active are sprains/strains, arthritis, bursitis, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and more.
