Sports & Athlete Injury Treatment
Injured? Don’t Let One Setback Take You Out of the Game.
Whether you’re chasing a personal record, preparing for game day, or simply trying to stay active, an injury can bring everything to a sudden stop.
A pulled muscle. A twisted ankle. A sore shoulder. Knee pain that won’t go away. A nagging back or hip problem that keeps getting worse every time you train.
You don’t want to sit on the sidelines.
At Vardy HPC, we help athletes and active individuals address injuries, improve movement, and work toward getting back to the activities they love.
Your body isn’t like everyone else’s.
Your recovery shouldn't be either.

An Injury Can Change Everything.
One day you’re training, competing, lifting, running, or playing.
The next, you’re wondering:
How long will I be out?
Can I keep training?
Will this happen again?
How do I get back to where I was?
It’s frustrating when an injury forces you to stop doing something that’s a major part of your life. Trying to push through pain isn’t always the answer.
At Vardy HPC, we take the time to evaluate how you’re moving and develop an individualized plan based on your condition, activity level, and goals.
Sports Injuries Come in All Shapes and Sizes
From One Bad Landing to a Pain That Just Won't Quit.
Sports injuries aren’t always dramatic. Sometimes there’s an obvious moment when something goes wrong. Other times, discomfort builds gradually until you realize you can’t perform the way you used to.
Vardy HPC can evaluate a wide range of sports and activity-related complaints, including:
- Muscle strains and pulls
- Sprains
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Knee pain
- Hip pain
- Ankle and foot pain
- Joint stiffness
- Limited mobility
- Repetitive-use injuries
- Exercise-related pain
- Running-related injuries
- Weightlifting-related injuries
- Sports-related soreness and movement limitations
Whether your injury happened yesterday or you've been dealing with it for months, the first step is understanding what's contributing to the problem.
Don’t Just Treat the Pain. Understand Your Movement.
Because Athletes Ask Different Questions.
If you’re an athlete, getting out of pain is only part of the equation.
You want to know:
Can I run again?
Can I lift again?
Can I compete?
Can I train without worrying about reinjury?
Can I trust my body again?
That’s why we look beyond the painful area.
Our evaluation may consider:
- Mobility
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Stability
- Joint function
- Movement patterns
- Muscle balance
- Coordination
- Previous injuries
- Training demands
The goal is to understand how your body is functioning so your care can be built around what you actually need.
Your Body Is Your Equipment.
Take Care of It.
Athletes spend thousands of dollars on shoes, equipment, training, nutrition, coaching, and gym memberships. But none of it matters if your body can’t perform.
At Vardy HPC, our approach can combine multiple services depending on your individual condition and goals.
Chiropractic Care
Individualized chiropractic techniques designed around your specific needs and activity level.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Hands-on techniques may help address muscular and soft-tissue restrictions that can affect movement.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
These techniques may be incorporated into your care plan when appropriate.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy may be used as an additional component of your individualized care.
Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercise
Movement-focused strategies designed to work on mobility, strength, stability, and functional movement.
Taping & Bracing
Supportive techniques may be incorporated when appropriate for your condition or activity.
Your treatment plan is designed around your body and your goals—not simply the sport you play.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of sports injuries do you treat?
Vardy HPC can evaluate a variety of sports and activity-related complaints, including muscle strains, sprains, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, ankle and foot problems, mobility limitations, and other musculoskeletal concerns.
Do I have to be a professional athlete?
Absolutely not. Sports injury care isn’t just for professional athletes. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, recreational exerciser, runner, weightlifter, golfer, or simply someone who enjoys staying active, your activity level and goals can be incorporated into your care plan.
Should I stop exercising if I'm injured?
That depends on the nature and severity of your injury. Continuing to perform certain activities may aggravate some conditions, while appropriate movement can be an important part of rehabilitation for others. Your provider can help you determine what activities are appropriate for your situation.
Can I see a chiropractor for a sports injury?
Chiropractic care may be appropriate for certain musculoskeletal injuries and movement-related concerns. At Vardy HPC, your provider will evaluate your condition and determine what approach is appropriate for you.
How soon should I get a sports injury evaluated?
If pain, swelling, weakness, restricted movement, or other symptoms are affecting your ability to participate in your normal activities, an evaluation can help determine what’s going on and what your next steps should be.
Can you help me return to my sport?
Your care plan can be built around your individual goals and activity level. Depending on your condition, rehabilitation and movement-focused strategies may be incorporated as you work toward returning to your normal activities.
What if my injury keeps coming back?
Recurring injuries may warrant a closer look at movement patterns, mobility, strength, stability, training habits, or other contributing factors. An individualized evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to the recurring problem.
When should I see a medical doctor instead?
Some injuries require immediate medical attention. Seek prompt evaluation for significant trauma, suspected fractures, severe swelling, inability to bear weight, major weakness or numbness, loss of consciousness, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or other serious or rapidly worsening symptoms.
