What is sports injuries?
Sports injuries include sprains, strains, tendinopathy, joint irritation, muscle pulls, and overuse problems. They may happen during a single event or build gradually when training load, recovery, mobility, and strength are out of balance.
A strong recovery plan identifies the tissue involved, the reason it was overloaded, and the capacity you need to rebuild before returning to full activity.
Common signs and symptoms.
Why this happens.
Sports injuries can result from a collision, awkward landing, sudden change of direction, excessive training volume, or a lack of strength and control. Sleep, recovery, footwear, technique, and rapid increases in workload can also affect tissue tolerance.
We look at these contributing factors so care addresses both the current symptoms and the pattern that made the injury likely.
How Move evaluates this condition.
Our assessment includes injury history, joint and tissue testing, range of motion, strength, balance, gait or sport-specific movement, and a review of your current training demands. We identify what is safe now and what needs to improve before progression.
Our integrated treatment approach.
Treatment may include chiropractic care to restore joint motion, myofascial release for restricted muscle and connective tissue, and progressive exercises for strength, control, and confidence. Your plan changes as your capacity improves.
For persistent tendon or myofascial release therapy symptoms, shockwave therapy may be considered when clinically appropriate. We coordinate each intervention around a clear return-to-activity plan.

Common questions about sports injuries.
When should I get a sports injury assessed?
Get assessed when pain, swelling, weakness, or loss of function changes how you move, or when symptoms are not improving as expected.
Can I keep training while an injury heals?
Often, yes, with the right modifications. We help you identify safe ways to maintain activity while restoring the injured tissue's capacity.
How do I prevent the injury from returning?
A gradual return, appropriate strength and mobility work, and a realistic training and recovery plan reduce the chance of recurrence.
What patients are saying.
“Dr. Hugunin is awesome. If you're an athlete of any type, I'd suggest giving him a shot. He knows his stuff and is great at working troubled areas.”

“As a woman in my 40s who lifts heavy, I'm not slowing down — I'm training smarter. And having someone who understands strong, active bodies (not just "take it easy") makes all the difference. I followed his directions, did the work, and I've been solid ever since.”
