Which Chiropractor in Jacksonville is Best for Sports Injuries?
Full Swing Healthcare on Beach Blvd is the Jacksonville sports injury chiropractor we'd point competitive athletes, weekend warriors, and everyone in between. Dr. Muren is TPI Certified and understands how athletic movement creates injury patterns.
We worked with a high school soccer player last year who had been dealing with recurring right hip flexor strains for an entire season. Her coach had chalked it up to overuse, and she'd been icing it between games. When Dr. Muren assessed her he found a right sacroiliac joint that was restricted and firing the hip flexors in compensation with every stride. The hip flexor wasn't the problem. It was absorbing the problem. We corrected the SI joint mechanics, ran a series of shockwave sessions on the chronically strained hip flexor tissue, and she finished the season without another strain. Her coach noticed the change in her running gait before she even reported the improvement.
Why Chiropractic Is the Right Starting Point for Sports Injuries
Most sports injuries are not isolated tissue failures. They happen when movement mechanics break down. A joint restriction causes a compensation pattern, the compensation pattern overloads a muscle or tendon, and the muscle or tendon eventually gives out. Treating only the injured tissue and ignoring the mechanical cause leads to recurring injuries. Sports chiropractic looks at the full kinetic chain: where the movement broke down, what structures were compensating, and how to correct both.
What We Treat at Full Swing
Running injuries, golf and rotational sport injuries, contact sport trauma, tendonitis and overuse syndromes, shoulder impingement, ankle sprains with altered gait, and post-surgical return to sport are all areas we treat. Dr. Muren is TPI Certified through the Titleist Performance Institute, which gives him a specific lens for rotational athletes: golfers, baseball, tennis, lacrosse. Jacksonville's athletic community is strong: TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, the running community in Riverside, youth sports throughout Mandarin. We see a wide range of athletes and we understand the demands each sport places on the body.
Shockwave and Soft Tissue Combination
For chronic sports injuries involving tendon or fascial damage, we combine chiropractic with shockwave therapy and soft tissue work including IASTM scraping and dry needling. The adjustment fixes the joint mechanics. The shockwave and soft tissue work heals the tissue that was damaged by compensating for the mechanical problem. Most athletes need both to get fully clear.
