Musculoskeletal Rehab: Treating injuries to improve movement

Updated: Oct 1

At Whole Life Chiropractic, our approach to treating injuries and gradual-onset pain conditions is holistic and personalized.

Research strongly supports the understanding that pain is a multifactorial problem. In many cases, pain isn't directly correlated with the visible tissue damage seen on x-rays or MRIs. Factors such as diet, emotional states (like anxiety and depression), beliefs about pain, sleep quality, and chemical stressors (such as smoking and alcohol use) can influence not only the intensity of pain but also the risk of acute injuries developing into chronic pain conditions. Addressing these factors is crucial during the rehabilitation process.


Our primary focus for musculoskeletal rehab for most patients is improving movement quality. Injuries are often rooted in mobility or flexibility deficits, joint stability and motor control issues, strength impairments, or a combination of these problems.

The Turkish Get Up is an advanced corrective exercise we may use in the rehab of a variety of conditions.

Through a thorough assessment, we identify the key drivers of your pain and develop a plan to target these issues. To address mobility and flexibility, we use chiropractic manipulation, joint-focused interventions, soft tissue therapies like Active Release, and instrument-assisted manipulation, along with corrective exercises and stretches.


These methods also help improve joint stability, motor control, and strength, but for long-term results, targeted corrective exercises are essential. By correcting these deficits, we ensure that your joints and soft tissues absorb load properly, reducing the strain on overworked and painful areas.


We also emphasize integrating these changes into daily life. For example, if you've injured your back while lifting, we’ll not only improve your mobility, flexibility, strength, and stability but also teach you proper lifting techniques to prevent re-injury.
