Sports Injuries in an Active City

Brooklyn is full of runners, cyclists, CrossFit athletes, weekend warriors, and gym regulars. With that comes a high rate of sports injuries — and a high need for fast, effective care.

Dr. Michael Khodorkovsky at MK Chiropractic & Wellness is a former NCAA competitive fencer. He brings that firsthand understanding to every athlete he treats.

Sports Injuries We Treat

MK Chiropractic treats a wide range of sports-related injuries.

  • Running injuries — IT band syndrome, runner's knee, plantar fasciitis
  • Shoulder injuries — rotator cuff, impingement, AC joint sprains
  • Lower back pain from lifting or overhead movements
  • Hip flexor and groin strains
  • Ankle sprains and instability

How Chiropractic Helps Athletes Recover Faster

Chiropractic care works by restoring proper joint mechanics, reducing inflammation, and releasing muscular tension. When joints move properly, the body heals faster.

  • Joint adjustments to restore full range of motion
  • Soft tissue therapy to accelerate muscle recovery
  • Biomechanical assessment
  • Return-to-sport guidance

Performance Care — Not Just Injury Treatment

Many of Brooklyn's most serious athletes use chiropractic not just for injury recovery — but for performance maintenance. Regular spinal and joint care keeps your body moving optimally and reduces injury risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I rest or see a chiropractor for a sports injury?

In most cases, early treatment leads to faster recovery. Rest alone doesn't address joint dysfunction.

Can chiropractic help with running injuries?

Yes. Running injuries often stem from gait imbalances and hip dysfunction. Dr. Mike addresses the structural cause.

Do you treat CrossFit and gym injuries?

Absolutely. Gym injuries from deadlifts, squats, and overhead pressing are some of the most common conditions we treat.

How quickly can I return to training?

It depends on the injury, but many patients return to modified training within the first few sessions.

Do you accept insurance for sports injury treatment?

Yes. We're in-network with UHC, Aetna, Cigna, and ASH. Call (347) 313-8526 to verify.
