What Causes Sports Injuries?
Sports injuries occur along a spectrum from acute trauma — such as a collision, fall, or sudden forceful movement — to chronic overuse patterns that develop gradually over time. The spine is commonly involved in sports injuries, whether directly through impact or indirectly through the compensatory movement patterns that athletes develop around other injuries. Joint dysfunction in the lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine can affect performance, limit range of motion, and contribute to recurring injury patterns. Common sports-related spinal complaints include low back pain in weightlifters and rowers, cervical strain in contact sport athletes, and thoracic dysfunction in overhead athletes.
How Chiropractic May Help Sports Injuries
Research suggests that chiropractic care may support recovery from sports-related spinal and joint injuries by addressing restricted motion, reducing nerve irritation, and supporting more balanced movement patterns. Some athletes report improvements in pain, mobility, and function with chiropractic care as part of their broader recovery approach. Results vary based on the type and severity of the injury. At Divine Spine Albany, Dr. Muskan Nahal uses the ProAdjuster to deliver precise, targeted corrections to areas of spinal restriction without requiring the body to be placed in positions that could aggravate an acute injury. Individual timelines depend on the nature of the complaint and the demands of the sport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I continue training while receiving chiropractic care?
In many cases, modified activity is possible during care. Dr. Muskan Nahal will give you honest guidance based on your specific injury and the demands of your sport. The goal is to support your recovery without unnecessarily restricting activity where it is safe to continue.
Do professional and recreational athletes both benefit from chiropractic?
Chiropractic care is used across all levels of sport, from recreational participants to competitive athletes. The relevance of care depends on the individual’s presentation rather than their level of competition. Dr. Nahal will assess your situation and discuss whether chiropractic is appropriate and what it may realistically offer for your case.
How does chiropractic fit alongside other sports medicine care?
Chiropractic addresses spinal joint function and is most effective when used alongside other forms of care where appropriate. Dr. Nahal is happy to coordinate with other practitioners involved in your recovery. If your injury requires imaging, physiotherapy, or another form of care, she will let you know clearly.
When Should You See a Sports Injury Chiropractor in Edmonton?
If a spinal or joint issue is limiting your training, recurring with activity, or affecting your performance, getting a proper assessment is worthwhile. Injuries that are left unmanaged can develop into more entrenched patterns over time. Dr. Muskan Nahal will assess your spine, identify what is contributing to your symptoms, and give you a straightforward recommendation on whether chiropractic care is the right fit.

How Dr. Muskan Nahal Uses the ProAdjuster for Sports Injuries
The ProAdjuster measures joint mobility using sensor technology and applies a precise oscillating force to restricted areas of the spine. For active individuals, this approach allows Dr. Muskan Nahal to address spinal dysfunction with controlled, repeatable precision — without requiring significant passive movement from the patient. The instrument responds to tissue resistance in real time, allowing for an adaptable approach that can be adjusted based on the state of the injury and the athlete’s recovery progress.
