Sports Injury Treatment
The Woodlands & Spring, Texas

From weekend warriors to competitive athletes — fast, effective recovery and performance optimization with advanced technology and hands-on chiropractic care.

Back in the Game, Faster

Whether you've suffered a sports injury or want to optimize your performance and prevent future ones, Prestige Spinal Care offers the same advanced therapies trusted by professional sports organizations — available right here in The Woodlands.

Sports injuries involve more than just the injury site. Compensation patterns, biomechanical imbalances, and spinal misalignment all affect how your body performs and recovers. Dr. Etemadi's approach addresses the full picture — treating the acute injury while correcting the underlying issues that make re-injury likely.

The combination of chiropractic adjustments, SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, and spinal decompression gives athletes in The Woodlands access to a recovery toolkit that was previously available only at professional sports medicine facilities.

A Three-Phase Approach to Athletic Recovery

1

Acute Phase

Reduce pain and inflammation immediately with SoftWave therapy and targeted chiropractic adjustments. Digital X-rays confirm there's no structural damage requiring referral.

2

Repair Phase

Deeper tissue healing through continued SoftWave sessions (activating stem cells and collagen synthesis), spinal decompression if discs are involved, and soft tissue work.

3

Performance Phase

Correct the biomechanical patterns that contributed to injury. Restore full strength, range of motion, and movement quality — then build a maintenance plan to stay healthy.

4

Prevention

Regular maintenance adjustments keep joints mobile and aligned. Many competitive athletes in The Woodlands see Dr. Etemadi monthly during their season as standard practice.

The Same Tools as the Pros

Sports Injury Questions

How quickly can I get an appointment after an injury?
We prioritize acute sports injuries and typically offer same-week appointments. Call us at (832) 995-7832 and let the front desk know you have an acute injury.
Can I keep training while receiving treatment?
In many cases, yes — with modification. Dr. Etemadi will give you specific guidance based on your injury, typically recommending activity modifications rather than complete rest. SoftWave therapy has zero downtime, and chiropractic care often allows athletes to continue training at reduced intensity.
Do you treat youth athletes?
Yes. Dr. Etemadi provides pediatric and adolescent sports injury care with gentle techniques appropriate for young athletes. Many families in The Woodlands bring their children to Prestige Spinal Care for both acute injury care and performance maintenance.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance for sports injuries?
Prestige Spinal Care is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage for sports injuries varies by plan. Please forward your insurance information before your visit and we'll verify your benefits.
