Sports Injuries
Best of Las Vegas Sports Medicine winner in 2025. We treat sports injuries across every level of athlete, from professional fighters to weekend warriors, including shoulder pain, knee issues that aren't surgical, ankle sprains, hamstring strains, rotator cuff problems, and the cumulative wear-and-tear injuries that build up over years of training.
About Sports Injuries
Sports injuries are different from general musculoskeletal pain because the body keeps demanding performance from the injured area. So treatment has to account for both the injury and the demands you're putting on your body in training and competition. We work with your coach, trainer, and other medical providers to keep your care coordinated.
Dr. Binkowski's career has included extensive work with elite athletes — Navy SEALs, the Buffalo Sabres, the San Diego Padres, the Toronto Blue Jays, World's Strongest Man competitors, professional skateboarders, boxers, PGA and LPGA golfers, and MMA and UFC fighters. That experience translates directly to your treatment plan, whether you're competing professionally or training for your next race.
Treatment combines adjustments to restore joint mechanics, cold laser therapy for soft-tissue healing, custom rehab plans that account for the demands of your sport, medical massage, kinesiotaping for soft tissue support, and BrainTap for performance and recovery. Most patients can keep training (with modifications) throughout the treatment plan.
Common Symptoms
- •Pain with specific movements or positions
- •Reduced range of motion
- •Swelling around joints
- •Weakness in the affected area
- •Pain that gets worse with the activity that caused it
- •Recurring injuries in the same area
- •Asymmetric performance left vs. right side
What's Actually Causing It
Acute trauma during training or competition, cumulative overuse from repetitive movement patterns, biomechanical compensations from old injuries, inadequate recovery between sessions, and underlying mobility or stability deficits that the sport magnifies.
How We Treat Sports Injuries
Adjustments to restore joint mechanics, cold laser therapy for soft-tissue healing, custom rehab plans that account for the demands of your sport, medical massage, kinesiotaping for soft tissue and muscles, and BrainTap for performance and recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep training during treatment?
Usually yes, with modifications. Your treatment plan accounts for your training and competition schedule. We'll tell you what to back off from, what to keep doing, and when you're cleared to return to full intensity.
Do you work with pro athletes currently?
Yes. Dr. Binkowski treats patients across every level — pro fighters, performers, triathletes, golfers, weekend warriors. The treatment approach scales to your specific demands.
What's kinesiotaping and when do you use it?
Kinesiotape provides targeted soft-tissue and joint support during activity without restricting movement. We use it to reduce strain on healing tissue, improve proprioception, and let you train safely while we work through the underlying issue.
Related Conditions
Conditions that often present together with sports injuries.
Knee Pain
Knee pain has more sources than most patients realize: meniscus issues, ligament strains, IT band tightness, foot mechanics, hip weakness, or cumulative wear-and-tear from sports and life.
Learn more →Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can come from the joint itself, the surrounding rotator cuff and soft tissue, the cervical spine pulling on nerves that feed the shoulder, or postural patterns that have built up over years. So treating just the shoulder when the source is in the neck or upper back leaves the actual problem in place.
Learn more →Back Pain
Back pain is the most common reason patients walk into a chiropractic office, and it's also one of the most misdiagnosed. So we see patients who've been told their pain is from one disc, when it's actually coming from a joint two levels up the chain, or from a foot mechanic that's pulling their pelvis out of alignment.
Learn more →Neck Pain
Neck pain is another very common complaint that we treat. So a lot of the patients we see for neck pain actually have underlying posture issues from desk work, smartphone use, or driving, and the neck ends up being the loudest signal in the chain.
