Sports Injury Chiropractor in Riverdale, NJ

Get back to training without waiting out the injury. Dr. Jack A. Atzmon, DC, an avid runner himself.

Resting it is not the same as fixing it

Most athletes handle an injury by backing off, waiting, and testing it again. Sometimes that works. When it does not, you end up in a cycle where every return to training reproduces the same pain.

That cycle means something structural has not resolved, and it will keep going until it is addressed directly.

What sports injuries does Dr. Atzmon treat?

The ones that keep athletes out:

  • Rotator cuff and shoulder injuries
  • Muscle strains and ligament sprains
  • Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis
  • Back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica
  • Knee and hip pain
  • Whiplash and post-concussive symptoms from contact sports

Running, lifting, CrossFit, court and field sports, and the weekend athlete who did too much too soon.

Why see a chiropractor rather than wait it out?

Because a sports injury usually has a cause upstream of where it hurts. Technique, an old restriction, a strength or mobility gap, or ramping volume faster than tissue adapts.

Dr. Atzmon finds the cause, treats the injury with adjustments, soft tissue work, shockwave therapy for tissue that has stalled, and decompression where a disc is involved, then addresses what set it off so you are not back in three months.

Will this keep me out of training?

The goal is the opposite. Dr. Atzmon is a runner and treats athletes as athletes, so the plan is built around keeping you moving where it is safe rather than shutting you down by default.

Where load needs to come off the spine while you keep training, a fitted back brace can do that without stopping you.

How soon can I be seen, and will insurance cover it?

Same day in most cases, and we are open Saturday mornings. No referral is needed.

We are in network with most major New Jersey carriers. We verify your benefits before your visit and go over what to expect, so nothing about the cost is a surprise from us.
