Sports Chiropractic in Prince Frederick
Pulled a hamstring, rolled an ankle, or battling stubborn shin splints? Dr. Daniel Collins has cared for countless student-athletes and weekend warriors, helping them recover fully and lower the risk of another setback. At Collins Chiropractic Center, care is noninvasive, practical, and tailored to your sport and season. Same- or next-day visits are often available by appointment, so you don’t have to sit out longer than necessary.
How We Help Athletes Recover and Stay in the Game
We focus on restoring normal joint motion and calming irritated soft tissues so your body can move the way it’s meant to. Dr. Collins uses extremity adjustments when needed—gentle, precise corrections for ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and wrists—to improve mechanics and reduce strain.
For soft-tissue injuries, cold laser therapy is used frequently; it’s a light-based modality that reduces inflammation and speeds healing without discomfort. If you prefer gentle, no-pop care, instrument-assisted adjusting is also available for a quieter, low-force option.
Common Sports Injuries We See
Some sports-related issues we commonly see include:
- Sprains and strains
- Tendinitis (Achilles, patellar, shoulder, elbow)
- Shin splints and calf pain
- Ankle, foot, and knee issues
- Hip and shoulder pain
- Back and neck pain related to sport
Getting the proper care early matters; taping can help, but some injuries need professional care to heal correctly and avoid future problems.
What to Expect at Your Visit
You’ll get a clear assessment, including orthopedic testing, and most athletes receive care on the first visit. Your plan may include adjustments, targeted soft-tissue work, and cold laser sessions. You’ll also leave with simple at-home tips like using cold to calm inflammation.
Many acute cases start with two visits per week for a short period, then taper as you improve, with guidance to prevent reinjury. For stubborn tendon issues, we may recommend shockwave therapy, a focused sound-wave modality that promotes healing in non-spinal joints. You’ll always get straightforward, reasonable care at Collins Chiropractic Center, but never any cookie-cutter plans.
Schedule Your Appointment
Get back to your sport with safe, effective care. Same- or next-day visits are often available by appointment, so you don’t have to sit out longer than necessary.
