Sports and physical activity injuries can occur suddenly or develop gradually over time. Whether you’re dealing with an acute injury or ongoing pain from overuse, proper evaluation and conservative care are essential for recovery.

At Mission Chiropractic Santa Clara, we provide evidence-informed chiropractic care, massage therapy, and acupuncture to help reduce pain, restore movement, and support a safe return to activity. Here’s how we help:

Chiropractic Care with Soft Tissue Therapy in Santa Clara CA

Sports injuries often involve joint restrictions, muscle strain, tendon irritation, and altered movement patterns. Chiropractic adjustments are used to restore normal joint motion and biomechanics, while soft tissue therapies—such as myofascial release and trigger point treatment—address muscle tension, scar tissue, and restricted fascia. This combined approach helps improve mobility, decrease pain, and support tissue healing.

Massage Therapy for Injury Recovery

Therapeutic massage plays an important role in sports injury care. Targeted massage techniques help improve circulation, reduce muscle guarding, and support recovery from strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. Massage therapy is commonly integrated with chiropractic care to enhance outcomes and support faster return to activity.

Acupuncture for Pain and Recovery

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) may be used to support pain reduction, decrease inflammation, and promote neuromuscular recovery. Acupuncture can be especially helpful for managing persistent pain, muscle tightness, and recovery-related stress following injury.

Individualized, Appropriate Care

Treatment plans are based on your specific injury, activity level, and recovery goals. Care is provided at a frequency and duration that is clinically appropriate, with progress monitored through objective findings and functional improvement.

In short, our goal is to help you recover efficiently and safely—using conservative, integrated care to support healing, performance, and long-term movement health.
