Injury Care

Helping Your Body Heal, Recover, and Return to What You Love

Our goal is not only to help with recent injuries, but also to support the body in resolving the long-term effects of past injuries so you can move, function, and live more comfortably.

Common Injuries We Help Support

Injuries can affect many different parts of the body and often impact how the entire system moves and functions. At Backcountry Chiropractic, we commonly see people dealing with injuries involving the:

  • Neck Injuries

  • Shoulder Injuries

  • Elbow and Wrist Injuries

  • Mid-Back Injuries

  • Low Back Injuries

  • Hip Injuries

  • Knee Injuries

  • Ankle Injuries

  • Concussions and Head Injuries

Looking at the Body as a Whole

While injuries may occur in one specific area, the body functions as a connected system. Compensation patterns, movement changes, and nervous system stress can influence areas far beyond the original injury. For example, a knee injury could be due to a compensation pattern in the pelvis, a shoulder injury from the neck or upper back….

Not only will we evaluate the area of the injury, we also want to know how your spine and movement patterns are functioning so we can support the healing process.

Old Injuries That Never Fully Healed

Many people assume that once the initial pain from an injury goes away, the problem is completely resolved. However, the body often develops compensation patterns after an injury that can persist long after the original event.

For example, after a fall, sports injury, or accident, the body may begin to move differently to protect the injured area. Over time, these changes in movement can place stress on other parts of the body.

Common signs an old injury may still be affecting you include:

• Recurring pain in the same area
• Stiffness or reduced mobility
• Feeling “off balance” or uneven
• Tension that keeps returning
• Pain that appears during certain activities

Even injuries from many years ago—such as sports injuries, car accidents, falls, or repetitive strain—can continue to influence how your spine and nervous system function.

By addressing spinal movement and nervous system communication, chiropractic care can help the body restore more balanced movement patterns and reduce long-term stress from past injuries.
