Patient Success
“I want to thank the CMA team for their help with the process of trying to relieve the neck pain that I’ve suffered with for over a year. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first with some of their therapies, but after only a few weeks of treatment I am seeing great results and feeling optimistic that I can avoid the surgery that the doctor suggested. The decompression and infrared therapies are great, along with my first experience with the cupping massage. I would highly recommend CMA and encourage those who have not gotten results with traditional physical therapy to give them a try. Thanks Muna!”

Stay in the Game, Skip the Pain:
The Role of Sports Physical Therapy
Athletes often push their bodies to the limit to achieve their goals. This intense effort, or an unfortunate accident, can sometimes lead to injuries. Fortunately, with the right information and approach, many of these injuries can be avoided or effectively managed through physical therapy.
Here, we explore the most common sports injuries and how physical therapy can be a pivotal player in preventing surgeries.
Common Sports Injuries
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are common in sports involving running and jumping when the ligaments surrounding the ankle are stretched or torn.
Knee Injuries
Athletes are prone to knee injuries, which can involve damage to ligaments, cartilage, or other structures within the knee joint.
Shoulder Injuries
These encompass a range of issues, including rotator cuff tears and dislocations, often seen in sports that involve overhead motions like swimming or baseball.
Fractures
These involve breaks in the bones from a single, forceful incident or stress fractures caused by repetitive stress.
Seek the Right Guidance
First, let’s discuss some of the most frequently encountered sports injuries. One of the main reasons for these injuries includes deceleration incidents, which put immense strain on muscles and ligaments, and sudden changes in direction, which can cause lower body sprains and strains.
In addition, inadequate or improper training methods, including insufficient warm-up and improper technique, elevate the risk of injuries. Overuse injuries (i.e., repetitive stress) frequently occur without proper rest, leading to complications such as tendonitis.
Our physical therapists can guide you through preventive strategies to reduce your risk of sports injuries and promote a safer athletic environment.
Physical therapy plays a significant role in helping athletes avoid surgeries and return to their optimal performance levels.
Personalized Plans: Our therapists design individualized plans that focus on strengthening the muscles and improving mobility to help prevent future injuries.
Education and Training: Our therapists educate athletes on the proper techniques, including tips on body mechanics, posture, movement patterns, and preventive measures to avoid injuries.
Functional Restoration: Physical therapy focuses on restoring the function of injured areas, enabling athletes to return to their sport with a minimized risk of re-injury or need for surgery.
By working closely with our skilled physical therapists, athletes can return to their favorite sports and sidestep any potential surgeries!
