Sports Injury
Recover quickly from a sports injury with help from Suncoast Integrative Healthcare. We focus on healing your muscles and joints so you can stay in the game.
From twisted knees and sore shoulders to lingering tendon pain, a sports injury is incredibly common, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them.
At Suncoast Integrative Healthcare, we help athletes and active adults in St Petersburg and surrounding areas recover faster and move better using a combination of chiropractic care and regenerative medicine.
Whether your injury came from a single wrong move or has built up over time, our team develops a customized plan to address the real cause of your pain—without surgery or long-term medication use.
Common Sports Injuries We See and Treat
Athletes of all levels deal with a wide range of injuries. Some are sudden and acute, others develop gradually from overuse or improper movement.
Here are some of the most frequent conditions we treat:
Early treatment can make all the difference. The longer an injury lingers, the harder it can be to fully heal—so don’t wait.
Chiropractic Care: Rebalancing the Body After A Sports Injury
Injuries often cause the body to shift out of alignment, creating tension, compensation patterns, and secondary pain. Our first step is always to get your body moving the way it’s supposed to. Dr. Staubs uses manual chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment, relieve pressure on joints, and improve range of motion.
We may also incorporate:
- Shockwave Therapy to break up scar tissue and stimulate healing
- Class IV Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation deep in the tissues
- Knee on Trac helps reduce inflammation and re-hydrates the joints
- Movement rehabilitation to build strength, balance, and coordination
This foundational care is essential—especially for athletes looking to recover fully and return to peak performance.
Stem Cell Therapy: Repairing Damage at the Cellular Level
For more severe or lingering injuries, we offer advanced stem cell therapy using Wharton’s Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
These potent regenerative cells are ethically collected from donated umbilical cords and are packed with growth factors that help reduce inflammation and trigger tissue repair.
Injected directly into damaged areas, stem cell therapy may be ideal for:
Unlike invasive surgery, stem cell therapy supports healing from within—without downtime or extended recovery periods. It’s a safe, effective option for athletes who want to stay active while healing naturally.
PRP Therapy: Accelerating Healing with Your Own Biology
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is another non-surgical option that supports natural recovery.
We draw a small sample of your blood, concentrate the platelets, and inject them into the injured area.
These platelets release growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation.
PRP is especially effective for:
- Tendonitis (Achilles, patellar, elbow, etc.)
- Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries
- Early-stage arthritis in active joints
- Recurrent sports-related inflammation
It’s a quick, in-office procedure with minimal downtime—making it a favorite for athletes who want to keep moving while healing.
