Sports Injury Treatment in Rochester, NY: From High School Athletes to Collegiate Level to Weekend Warriors

Published August 11th, 2025 by Camarata Chiropractic

Whether you’re a high school athlete, a college competitor, or a weekend warrior who loves staying active, injuries can happen when you least expect them. At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in North Chili, NY, we specialize in helping athletes of all ages recover from sports injuries, restore mobility, and get back to doing what they love—without unnecessary medications, injections, or surgery.

Understanding Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can range from acute sprains and strains to overuse conditions that develop over time. Common issues we see in our office include:

Foot and ankle injuries - plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, ankle sprains
Knee pain - runners knee, jumpers knee, meniscus tears, ACL rehab, MCL/LCL sprains
Hip pain - tendinitis, bursitis, labral tears, hip impingement
Shoulder injuries - rotator cuff dysfunction, tendonitis, impingement syndrome, AC joint sprains, overuse syndromes in throwing athletes
Hand, wrist & elbow pain - tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, hand and wrist sprains
Back and neck pain related to athletic movements, muscular imbalances and poor posture
Whiplash-type injuries and post-concussion symptoms from contact sports

These injuries not only cause pain but can also limit performance, sideline athletes, and increase the risk of long-term joint problems if left untreated.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Athletes Heal

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, our approach goes beyond quick fixes. Led by owner and founder Dr. Sam Camarata and associate chiropractors Dr. Brian Dickinson and Dr. Joe Carroll, we provide personalized treatment plans designed to:

Restore proper joint alignment and mobility
Relieve pain and inflammation naturally
Improve muscle balance and posture
Enhance flexibility, coordination, and range of motion
Reduce the risk of future injuries

Our chiropractors are trained in advanced techniques such as spinal and extremity adjustments, fascia release therapy (IASTM), SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, digital posture and movement screenings, and TPI-certified golf performance assessments.

SoftWave Therapy for Sports Recovery

One of the most exciting tools in sports injury recovery is SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy. Used by professional sports teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, and Division I colleges, SoftWave uses acoustic wave technology to:

Accelerate tissue repair and regeneration
Break up scar tissue and adhesions
Improve blood flow and circulation
Activate the body’s own stem cells for natural healing
Speed up recovery from sprains, tendon injuries, and muscle tears

Our office has successfully helped high school, college, and even professional athletes get back on the field faster and stronger using SoftWave Therapy.

Helping Weekend Warriors Too

It’s not just elite athletes who benefit. Many of our patients are parents, professionals, or recreational athletes who enjoy golf, running, hiking, weightlifting, or other activities. Weekend warriors often face repetitive stress injuries or sudden setbacks from pushing their limits. With chiropractic care and advanced therapies, we help them recover quickly and return to their active lifestyles.
