Symptoms to Watch For

Overuse injuries can cause:

  • Pain and discomfort
  • Swelling and tenderness
  • Limited range of motion
  • Loss of sensation or numbness
  • Reduced strength

Symptoms may start gradually, so it's essential to pay attention to how your body responds to repetitive activities.

Common Overuse Injuries Include:

  • Achilles Tendonitis: inflammation of the Achilles tendon, the large tendon at the back of your ankle
  • Patellar Tendonitis: inflammation of the patellar tendon, which connects your knee cap to your shin bone
  • Tennis Elbow: inflammation of the tendons in your elbow, usually from repetitive motions of the arm and wrist
  • Golfer’s Elbow: inflammation of the tendons in your elbow, usually from overuse of the muscles in your forearm
  • Shoulder Impingement: compression of the shoulder muscles and tendons

If you think you have an overuse injury, it’s important to see our chiropractor in Tacoma. They can diagnose the problem and develop a treatment plan. Without treatment, overuse injuries can become chronic conditions that are difficult to manage.

Seeking Treatment

If you think you may have an overuse injury, the first step is to see our chiropractor for an evaluation. We'll ask about your symptoms, perform a physical exam, and develop a treatment plan specific to your needs.

  • Rest to allow healing
  • Ice and heat applications
  • Stretching and strengthening exercises
  • Chiropractic adjustments

Absolutely amazing!

6 months of struggling and barely able to walk to my car. Chiropractic wasn't helping so I decided to see these guys. One visit with Dr. Sean and I was able to walk without pain. He took the time to get images instead of just working blind. First time I've walked without pain in a very long time.

Dr. Sean has been amazing.

I was coming out of nearly a decade of a toxic work environment and extremely tense with weekly migraines. In the few months I’ve been a patient, I’ve been able to relax my muscles and have been nearly migraine free— He and his staff are wonderful!
