Maybe it started as a little ache. Then sleeping on that side became uncomfortable. Reaching overhead got harder. Before long, putting on a shirt, washing your hair, or reaching for something in the back seat of your car became a daily reminder that something wasn’t right.
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, can be a stubborn condition. But here's the good news: losing shoulder mobility doesn't automatically mean your shoulder is permanently damaged.
Ankle sprains are one of the most common sports and lifestyle injuries we see at Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Excelsior. Whether you rolled your ankle playing basketball, stepped off a dock awkwardly at the lake, landed wrong during pickleball, or simply misjudged a curb while walking the dog - ankle sprains can become chronic problems fast if they aren’t treated correctly.
And contrary to what most people think - a bad ankle sprain can sometimes be more frustrating than a fracture.
Read MoreTennis elbow — clinically known as lateral epicondylitis — is one of the most common overuse injuries we see in active adults, athletes, and high performers. Despite the name, you don’t need to touch a tennis (or pickleball) racket to develop it!
Tennis elbow occurs when the tendons that anchor the wrist and finger extensor muscles to the outside of the elbow are stressed beyond their capacity. Over time, this leads to irritation, micro-tearing, and eventually degeneration of the tendon tissue (epicondylosis) if left untreated.
Read MoreIf 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.”
Read MoreIf 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!)
Ever feel like your knee just doesn’t trust you anymore? One minute you’re running hills around Lake Minnetonka or crushing your WOD at the gym — and the next, your knee is barking like you’ve aged 40 years overnight.
Here’s the thing: your knee might not actually be the problem. It’s usually the victim of what’s happening above (the hip) or below (the ankle). At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Excelsior, we see this all the time — athletes, golfers, runners, and weekend warriors dealing with stubborn knee pain that keeps coming back no matter how much they stretch, foam roll, or ice it.
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We’ll help you figure out why your knee’s angry, fix the real cause, and get you back to doing what you love — pain-free and stronger than before.
(Spoiler: your knee will thank you, and so will your squat form.)
