Conditions We Treat

Chiropractic Care That Keeps You in the Game.

Sports injuries are not isolated to amateur athletes. Anyone can become injured while physically active. Dr. Lopez is an expert in the treatment of sports injuries. See how he can help.

Sports Injuries

Back pain is a widespread problem with numerous potential triggers, such as physical injury, emotional or physical stress, and other medical conditions. It typically manifests as discomfort or aching in the upper, middle, or lower regions of the bac

Back Pain

Neck pain is a common issue that can stem from a variety of causes, including acute injury, prolonged stress leading to muscle tension, or underlying health problems. It often results in stiffness and reduced mobility in the cervical region.

Neck Pain

Shoulder and arm pain is a common complaint that can originate from the joints, muscles, tendons, or nerves. It is frequently caused by injury, overuse, repetitive strain, or underlying conditions like arthritis, often leading to discomfort, weakness, and a limited range of motion.

Shoulder and Arm Pain

Knee pain is a widespread issue affecting people of all ages. It can result from a sudden injury, such as a ligament tear, gradual wear and tear from arthritis, or overuse from athletic activities. This pain can significantly impact walking, climbing stairs, and other daily movements.

Knee Pain

Hip pain involves any discomfort in or around the hip joint. It can be caused by acute injury, chronic conditions like arthritis or bursitis, and overuse. Hip pain often manifests as a dull ache or sharp sensation in the hip, groin, or thigh, and can make mobility challenging.

Hip Pain

Ankle pain refers to any ache or discomfort in the ankle joint and is often the result of a sprain, where the ligaments are overstretched or torn. Other causes include arthritis, tendonitis, or fractures, and it typically leads to swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight on the foot.

Ankle Pain

Due to impact to the spine and the surrounding nerves and tissues from an auto accident, chiropractic care is an excellent avenue for treatment

Auto accident

Sprains and strains are common soft tissue injuries. A sprain is the overstretching or tearing of ligaments (the bands connecting bones), most often occurring in ankles, knees, and wrists. A strain is the overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons (the tissues connecting muscles to bones), frequently affecting the back, hamstrings, and groin. Both are typically caused by sudden twists, falls, or impacts.
