  Sports Injuries Here at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic, we have many active patients who exercise regularly and play sports like tennis, pickleball, golf, hockey, and running.  Once in a while, a patient will have an injury from their activity and will need an extra hand in recovery. When a sports injury occurs, after the patient ices and rests, we suggest coming in to have the doctors look at the injury from a chiropractic standpoint. The doctors can show you proper conditioning, warm-up, and cool-down techniques for each sport or exercise activity to prevent future injuries.
