Pulled Hammy?! How Hamstring Injuries Actually Happen - and What to Do About Them!

If your hamstring has ever “grabbed,” “twinged,” or straight-up betrayed you mid-sprint, you know the exact flavor of panic I’m talking about. Hamstring issues are basically the tax athletes pay for wanting to actually do things with their body. But here’s the good news: they’re fixable — when someone knows what they’re doing.

At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic Sport & Spine, we help athletes and active adults around the Lake Minnetonka area get out of hamstring pain fast — and more importantly, keep it from coming back the next time you sprint, lift, jump, or try to prove you’ve “still got it.”

Why your nagging Neck Pain or Headaches might be coming from somewhere else..
Why your nagging Neck Pain or Headaches might be coming from somewhere else..

If you woke up with a neck that feels like it aged 40 years overnight… welcome to the club nobody wants to be in. Neck pain is one of the top reasons people land in a chiropractor’s office — but here’s the truth most clinics don’t say out loud:
Not all neck pain is created equal — and not all providers know how to actually fix it.
Our job is simple: figure out the real reason your neck hurts and fix it with a plan that actually works.

(Psst! The root cause may not be your neck!)

What's the difference between Golfer's Elbow and Tennis Elbow? | Sports Chiropractic

You don’t have to be the next Rory McIlroy or Serena Williams to end up with elbow tendonitis. We see golfers, tennis players, carpenters, desk workers, and even parents juggling babies all walk through our doors with the same complaint — a sharp, nagging pain on the inside or outside of the elbow that just won’t quit.
Our goal isn’t just to quiet the pain. It’s to fix why that tendon is angry in the first place — and build a stronger, more resilient arm that can handle whatever you throw at it (or swing, or type, or hammer).

What Causes Shoulder Impingement?
What Causes Shoulder Impingement?

The shoulder is “the overachiever of the body.” It’s supposed to move in all directions — but when something isn’t doing its job (usually your scapular stabilizers or thoracic spine), the shoulder joint pays the price.
If you’ve ever felt that deep, annoying pinch in the front or top of your shoulder when reaching overhead — yeah, that’s not something to ignore. Shoulder impingement (sometimes mimicking rotator cuff tendonitis) can creep up on anyone from desk workers and weekend warriors to CrossFit athletes, swimmers, and golfers. It’s one of the most common shoulder issues we treat here at Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab.

Patellar Tendonitis / Jumper's Knee
Patellar Tendonitis / Jumper's Knee

Jumper’s knee doesn’t just happen to jumpers.
Truth is, we see plenty of runners, lifters, pickleball players — even desk-jockeys — dealing with nagging pain right below their kneecap. Patellar tendinitis (or patellar tendonitis… however you like to spell it) is an overuse injury that happens when your quadriceps overpower your glutes, placing repetitive stress on the patellar tendon over time.
When this tendon gets angry, it lets you know — with sharp, achy, or burning pain right below the kneecap.

Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!
Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!

If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, you know it’s one of those things that makes everything annoying. Brushing your teeth? Hurts. Putting on a shirt? Hurts. Trying to impress your friends with your overhead press PR? Definitely hurts.

Here’s the thing: the shoulder is an insanely mobile joint — which is great when you’re serving an ace or hitting a drive down the fairway, but not so great when the smallest imbalance throws the whole system off. And that’s exactly why shoulder pain is one of the most common things we see at Minnesota Movement.

Now, you might be wondering, “Should I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist for shoulder pain?” Read the full blog to find out!
