Sports Injury Chiropractor in Asheville, NC
Conditions > Sport Injuries
Asheville is an active town. People here hike, bike, run, climb, play rec league sports, and train year round. And sometimes they get hurt doing it. Dr. Mark Szostczuk works with athletes of all levels, from weekend hikers to competitive athletes, helping them recover and get back to what they were doing before the injury slowed them down.
The approach here is not to just manage the pain and send you on your way. The goal is to find what is actually causing the problem and fix it so it does not keep coming back every time you push hard.
Sports Injuries We Treat
● Back pain: common in cyclists, runners, and anyone doing heavy lifting or explosive movements.
● Neck pain: contact sports, falls, and sustained positions during cycling or swimming put real stress on the cervical spine.
● Shoulder pain: throwing, swimming, climbing, and racket sports all load the shoulder joint heavily over time.
● Knee pain: running, hiking, and court sports are frequent causes of knee strain and joint irritation.
● Elbow pain: tendon pain around the elbow from racket sports, climbing, or throwing is more common than most athletes expect.
● Sciatica: nerve pain that runs down the leg, often flaring up in runners and cyclists who train with tight hips and hamstrings.
● Plantar fasciitis: heel and foot pain that hits runners, hikers, and anyone spending long hours on their feet.
● Wrist and hand pain: climbing and racket sports in particular put a lot of stress on the wrists and forearms.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Dr. Szostczuk starts by understanding your sport, your training load, and exactly how and when the pain started. That context matters. A knee problem in a runner and a knee problem in a soccer player are not the same thing, and treatment should not be either.
After the evaluation, he will explain what is going on in plain terms and lay out a realistic plan. Treatment typically includes chiropractic adjustments to address joint alignment and nerve pressure, combined with massage therapy to work through the muscle and soft tissue damage that sports injuries leave behind.
Getting Back to Your Sport
Missing time from training or competition is frustrating. Most athletes want to know one thing: how soon can I get back? Dr. Szostczuk will give you an honest answer and work with you toward that goal, not a vague timeline that keeps getting pushed back.
