Sports Injury Treatment in Shelby Charter Township: Athletes understand the numerous demands of participating in a sport. Putting your body through these activities, such as running, jumping or tackling, can result in painful tears, sprains and strains. Seeing a chiropractor can help athletes heal faster after suffering a sports injury and can prevent them.
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. This can happen in countless ways, depending on what activity you are doing or what sport you are playing in. It is important to take precautionary measures, but sometimes injuries can happen to the most physically active and experienced people. Often these conditions are a result of injuries suffered years or even decades ago that did not heal properly.
Children and teens tend to ignore what seem to be small injuries when they are active. But if an injury is left untreated, this can lead to chronic pain in other areas, that may not even be directly related to the focal point of the injury, such the knees, hips, back and neck. Many sports injuries are insufficiently treated and allowed to rest and heal, increasing the odds that they will cause chronic pain later in life. This can lead to pain, frustration and a decrease in athletic abilities.
Although many people think that chiropractic is solely limited to the spine, Dr. Arnold treats and helps prevent injuries of the neck, back, shoulders, knees and ankles. When the spine is perfectly aligned, this can alleviate tension in the body, decreases inflammation and allows the nervous system to function optimally.
When the spine is aligned, vital nutrients, water and body can travel throughout the body easily. It can also increase the immune system, which is ideal for anyone with a busy and active lifestyle. This allows the body to function better and become less susceptible to injury.
Dr. Arnold can help athletes by relieving their pain and helping them heal faster after an injury. Many athletes try to mask pain with medication, but this can lead to further risk and damage to the body. At Washington Family Chiropractic, Dr. Arnold will perform a full evaluation. Dr. Arnold will construct a customized treatment plan to get you feeling your best and back to doing what you love.
Dr. Arnold works with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan to help them recover from an injury and to optimize athletic performance. Call today at (586) 739-8700 to schedule and appointment!
I was referred to Dr. Arnold by a friend and co-worker when I had hurt my back. Dr Arnold and his staff are amazing.

His staff is very friendly and very accommodating. You’ll receive 5 star treatment here at a very competitive price.
My wife Sandy and both of our young adult children go to Dr. Arnold for adjustments..they are extremely happy with him, they have shown great results in the relief of migraine headaches, backaches, numbness in arms and sleeping much better at night. The staff and atmosphere of the office is very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Arnold and his staff to ensure that you will be receiving the best of Chiropractic care ,from a very kind and caring Dr. and staff….
I had my first visit for Chiropractic care with Dr. Arnold in August of 2016. I went in hoping he could help me with lower back issues that had been plaguing me for months at that point. His office is clean and cozy and his staff are friendly and accommodating.
He ran a couple tests, got some x-rays and took the time to explain to me the type of benefits that I would experience through chiropractic care. At this point he hadn’t even adjusted me but his thoroughness helped set my mind at ease and gave me the confidence that I would be feeling better soon.
I’ve heard that chiropractic care can provide immediate relief from neck or back pain and discomfort. Honestly I was skeptical of it. Additionally, I was nervous at my first adjustment. I had never had my neck or back adjusted by a Chiropractor before. Needless to say, after my first adjustment, which was completely painless, I did feel some relief from the discomfort in my back. BUT — I should emphasize that after approximately 6 visits, I definitely felt much-much better. I actually felt better after each adjustment as my body started to communicate with itself more efficiently — but– it has to be the consistency of seeing him through the plan of care that Dr. Arnold established that has really made all the difference in the way I feel.
At this point, I’ve had over 20 adjustments from Dr. Arnold. I’ve graduated to incorporating daily stretches and range of motion exercises with my adjustments and as I continue through his care, I certainly expect to continue feeling better.
Thank you Dr. Arnold for teaching about and providing me with extraordinary chiropractic care.
I’m always very pleased with the care I receive from Dr. Arnold. He is extremely professional and genuinely cares about his patients. The office is also very welcoming and comfortable, so I enjoy going every week!
Best chiropractor around! I always leave feeling great and Dr. Arnold treats his patients like family
Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and genuinely caring! I initially came 3 years ago because of back pain from a car accident and thinking I just needed a quick fix. Have been coming every week since then and feel better than I have in years. I would highly recommend Dr. Arnold to anyone seeking a better quality of life and health.
Dr. Arnold is not only a great chiropractor, but he is also a person with great values and character. I fully trust him with my care and I admire his passion for healing people. He has helped me with some of my back and neck pain as well as with tips on how to change to a healthier lifestyle. Thank you Dr. Arnold for being such a positive influence in my life!
I am so thankful for Dr.Arnold and his staff! He provides such professional care and it has physically made such a difference in my life and my children. The office staff are always delightful! My kids battle over who gets to get adjusted first!😊
Been going here for about 15 years, always feel better when I leave. Very friendly staff.
My wife has been going here for over 10 years. Dr Arnold has helped with her migraines among other things. Instead of weekly migraines they now come less and less. I was a non believer until I hurt my back and my wife insisted I start coming with her. So I did and it definitely changed my thinking of chiropractors. I joined along with my twins. We all go as a family now.
It boosts our immunities. We definitely can tell a difference with our health. We hardly get sick and when we do it doesn’t last that long.
