Sports Injury Care in Pflugerville
Peak performance requires more than hard training. Your body needs to move correctly, recover quickly, and stay injury-free. Professional teams from the NFL to the NHL keep chiropractors on staff for good reason. At Texas Family Chiropractic, we bring that same level of care to area athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors to competitive players.
Form and function work together. When your spine aligns properly, your body moves the way it should. Better movement means better performance and faster recovery. Dr. Houghton combines adjustments with nutritional guidance to help you reach your potential.
Common Athletic Injuries We See
Shoulder mobility problems top the list of issues we see in athletes. Many people spend too much time hunched over desks or phones, leading to forward head posture and rounded shoulders, which makes it difficult for their shoulders to move through their full range of motion. Whether you’re swimming, throwing, or lifting weights, restricted shoulder movement limits your performance and sets you up for injury.
Shoulder mobility problems top our list. Too much time hunched over desks or phones creates forward head posture and rounded shoulders. This limits range of motion, whether you’re swimming, throwing, or lifting. Text neck, as some call it, affects athletes differently from office workers. When your upper back curves forward and chest muscles tighten, your back muscles stretch and weaken. This imbalance hurts performance and increases injury risk.
Dr. Houghton addresses the root cause through spinal alignment and proper stretching. We also work with athletes recovering from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. The key is to return you to your sport safely and prevent a recurrence.
Advanced Recovery Tools for Athletes
Our red light therapy increases blood flow and speeds healing. Cryotherapy uses extreme cold at negative 240 degrees to reduce inflammation in three minutes. Many CrossFit athletes, Orange Theory members, and cyclists use our cold plunge pool regularly, especially during competition seasons.
Dr. Houghton provides customized stretching videos and warm-up routines to help you prepare your body correctly and reduce injury risk. Proper hydration, nutrition, and supplementation help your body recover faster and perform better.
