Understanding Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can vary widely, occurring due to sudden impact, repetitive strain, or improper conditioning. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a recreational sports enthusiast, recognizing the risks and symptoms of common injuries can help you take proactive steps toward prevention and recovery.
Common Sports Injuries
Understanding the most common sports injuries can help you identify symptoms early and seek proper care. These include:
- Sprains and Strains – Overstretched or torn ligaments and muscles, often caused by sudden movements or overuse.
- Tendonitis – Inflammation of the tendons due to repetitive stress, commonly affecting areas like the shoulders, elbows, and knees.
- Fractures and Dislocations – Bone injuries resulting from high-impact activities or falls.
- Runner’s Knee – Pain around the kneecap, typically due to improper tracking of the knee joint.

At Wagner Health Center, we take a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, combining advanced treatment techniques with personalized care to help you recover quickly and prevent future injuries.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Sports injuries can present with varying symptoms, but common signs include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility. Early recognition is crucial for effective treatment and a smooth recovery.
At Wagner Health Center, our specialists conduct comprehensive assessments to determine the severity of your injury and create a personalized rehabilitation plan. Monitoring changes in your body—such as reduced range of motion or persistent discomfort—can provide valuable insights, allowing us to adjust your treatment for optimal recovery. Being proactive about your symptoms ensures you receive timely and effective care.

What Our Patients Say
Hear from our happy patients! See how chiropractic care at Wagner Health Center has improved their health and well-being.
I injured my back over 20 years ago in the military and then my neck in a motorcycle accident so have been to many chiropractors over the years. Dr. Wagner is top notch. I’ve found that allot of chiropractors just do the same basic set of adjustments every time regardless of what’s wrong with you. Dr. Wagner actually listens, evaluates and only adjusts what and where is needed. I was surprised to see someone comment that they felt he jerked their neck? With my past neck injury Dr. Wagner has adjusted my neck many times and I’ve never felt any rough treatment. He has even adjusted one of my daughters. With a specialty of working with children you obviously know how to be gentle.
I have highly recommended Dr. Wagner to several people and will continue to do so!

Ahhhh…. I’m in love with a married man!! I went for my first ever visit yesterday evening. We did the whole consultation/evaluation thing and an adjustment. I have never been to a chiropractor before… i just woke up last week with unbearable neck/back pain and couldn’t move like i should have been able to. So i searched around and found Dr. Wagner on here and thought I’d give it a shot. I think I’m hooked.

Was having really bad lower back pain called to hopefully get in with him the same day. Was surprised when I called and Dr. Wagner picked up. I first asked if he accepted my insurance and then described my problem area. He instructed me to come in when he opened later that day to see him. I got there and was greeted by Dr. Wagner. After I finished my paperwork I went into his consult room where we went over my problem area and he described to me what he does and how chiropractors can eliminate pain. I was adjusted and it felt amazing. I’m going for a follow up appointment in a couple days. dr. Wagner was patient and funny. Will definitely be back 🙂
