Strains / Overuse Injury Pain Relief in Dallas, TX

Muscle strains and overuse injuries can make it difficult to stay active, train consistently, or perform at your best. Whether the pain developed suddenly or built up over time, these injuries can linger without proper treatment and limit how your body moves and feels.

At Restorative Health and Performance in Dallas, chiropractor Dr. Mary Davis helps patients recover from muscle strains and overuse injuries through hands-on care and movement-based rehab. Her approach is designed to relieve pain, restore strength, and help you move confidently again.

Common Causes Of Strains And Overuse Injuries

Strains and overuse injuries often develop when muscles, tendons, or joints are pushed beyond their normal limits without enough recovery. They are common in athletes and active adults who train hard, sit for long hours, or repeat the same movements every day.

Dr. Mary often helps patients with:

Muscle strains from lifting or running
Repetitive motion injuries
Tendon irritation in the shoulder, elbow, or knee
Hamstring or calf tightness
Hip flexor or low back strain
Postural strain from sitting or computer work

As a Dallas sports chiropractor, Dr. Mary helps identify the specific movement or imbalance that caused the problem and creates a plan to correct it.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Dr. Mary’s care focuses on restoring proper movement, reducing muscle tension, and supporting recovery through active rehabilitation. By treating both the injury and its root cause, she helps prevent future setbacks.

Your care may include:

Chiropractic adjustments to improve mobility and alignment
Soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles and promote healing
Dry needling or cupping to reduce soreness and speed recovery
Targeted rehab exercises to strengthen weak areas and restore balance

Each plan is personalized to your condition, activity level, and goals so you can recover fully and return to what you love doing.

What To Expect During Your Visit

Your first visit includes a detailed conversation about how your injury started and what movements make it worse. Dr. Mary performs a movement and posture assessment to identify the areas under the most strain.

She explains her findings clearly and creates a plan that fits your comfort level and lifestyle. Many patients begin noticing improvement within the first few visits.

Strains And Overuse Injuries FAQs

How do I know if I have a strain or just soreness?
Soreness usually goes away within a few days, while a strain often lasts longer and may feel sharp or tight during specific movements. Dr. Mary can help you determine the difference and guide you toward the right treatment.

Can chiropractic care help prevent overuse injuries?
Yes. By improving mobility, alignment, and muscle balance, chiropractic care can help reduce stress on joints and tissues that lead to repetitive injuries.

Do I need to stop exercising while recovering?
Not necessarily. Dr. Mary helps patients stay as active as possible while recovering safely. She will guide you on which movements to modify or avoid.

What if I keep getting the same injury?
Recurring injuries often mean an underlying weakness or imbalance has not been addressed. Dr. Mary uses movement-based rehab to correct the problem and build long-term resilience.
