When you participate in sports, injuries are a part of your normal expectations. Whether it is strains, sprains, pulls, aches and pains, all of them can be treated by a sports chiropractor in New York, NY. Dr. Jacob Klein of Klein Clinic is proud to offer treatments and techniques that can help to get athletes back on their feet as quickly as possible.

Each individual patient receives a personalized treatment plan. It is never one size fits all. A detailed medical history is taken, and an examination is performed. If necessary, x-rays. MRI, or an ultrasound will be ordered. Blood tests and/or urine tests may be recommended.

Areas of focus include:

Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a type of study that deals with body movement. When something is affecting the movement of the body, it can affect other things and finding that and correcting it helps start healing.

Chiropractic adjustment

Chiropractic adjustment is often the first step on the road to recovery. Dr. Klein uses several different techniques depending on what is appropriate for the particular patient.

Diversified technique

The diversified technique is the most popular and widely used chiropractic adjustment technique. It uses high velocity and low amplitude thrusts to make the adjustment. It produces the cracking sound that many people associate with chiropractic adjustment. The strength of the adjustment will depend on the patient and the condition. This is a hands-on method of adjusting.

Activator method

The activator method is often used by Dr. Jacob Klein of Klein Clinic, a sports chiropractor in New York, NY, when he wants to perform a gentle adjustment. The activator is a spring-loaded tool that provides a very quick thrust so muscles don't have time to resist.  

Electric stimulation

When soft tissues cause pain and other problems, electric stimulation is a therapy that can help. It uses low-current electricity to stimulate the muscles. Then they contract which helps them to relax and begin the healing process. This type of stimulation isn’t painful and doesn't take all that long to produce results.

Therapeutic exercises

Therapeutic exercise can be used before and after an injury. It can help to prevent injuries through stretching and strengthening exercises. During the healing process, the exercise is designed to get you past an injury and away from future injuries. These will be designed to suit your particular injury and will be able to continue at home.
