NESCONSET · SERVING SMITHTOWN & ST. JAMES
Your partner in athletic wellness and recovery. Care built around your sport, your movement and your goals.
THE TRUE SPORT CARE APPROACH
Strength. Balance. Symmetry.
Sports medicine at True Sport Care focuses on musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation. At our Nesconset clinic near Smithtown, we assess how pain, strength and movement affect your sport, then connect hands-on care and exercise to your return-to-activity goals.
A sports injury evaluation connects your history with the movements you need for training and competition. We look at strength, balance and how the joints and muscles work together. Your plan may draw on chiropractic care, physical therapy, soft tissue treatment and therapeutic exercise, with progress measured against your activity goals.
YOUR CARE, CONNECTED
Assessment, hands-on treatment and rehabilitation come together around your individual needs. Explore the services available at True Sport Care.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment of strength, balance and symmetry.
We assess strength, balance, joint motion and relevant movement patterns to understand the demands around your injury. These findings help us choose treatment and exercises for your starting point and goals.
INJURY CARE
Care focused on your sports-related injury.
Care begins with how the injury happened and what brings on your symptoms. We discuss training demands, activity modifications and the steps needed to build back toward your sport.
MOVEMENT
Rehabilitation that considers the entire kinetic chain.
Rehabilitation connects the injured area with the surrounding joints and muscles. Exercises address the mobility, strength and control needed for the activities you want to resume.
SOFT TISSUE
Hands-on care for muscles and soft tissue.
Relieve Muscle Tension and Promote Healing
A good therapist has “intuitive hands.” This means they are great at hunting for areas in need of treatment. They also have “purposeful touch.” This means they don’t just shred the area and create tons of soreness. They can give you relief without doing damage.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
A program specific to you and the way you move.
Your program should be specific to you! Not simply your sport. Our approach is focused on identifying muscular imbalances and dysfunctional movement patterns by breaking down every move from a biomechanical standpoint. When these imbalances are corrected, our athletes can perform their moves more efficiently and improve their overall performance.
CHIROPRACTIC
Sports-focused chiropractic care at True Sport Care.
Our doctors are certified sports chiropractors who provide Olympic level of service to all of our patients. The chiropractors in our Nesconset sports medicine office hold certifications as Diplomates OF THE AMERICAN CHIROPRACTIC BOARD OF SPORTS PHYSICIANS (DACBSP) and Certified Chiropractic Sports Physicians (CCSP), the only Sports Medicine Chiropractic certifications in the United States that are recognized by the American Chiropractic Association.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
From ankle sprains to shoulder injuries, our sports medicine team works with athletes at every level. These are some of the injuries and concerns treated at True Sport Care.
YOUR VISIT
During your first consultation, we will pepper you with questions pertaining to your chief complaint. This will be when we start formulating a list of suspected muscles to test.
After finding the culprits, we will then target the issues with our soft tissue arsenal and teach you how to wake up the underused structures via our YouTube channel or App exercises.
These are to be done daily so the reprogramming can take place faster. You will actually feel the changes within the first week
When someone is acute – meaning in a lot of pain – they can be seen multiple times in a week. More typically we schedule patients once per week initially. When we start gaining traction with their issues we start weaning them off from care. We have always said that the less you need us, the better the job we’re doing.
Your visit to our sports medicine clinic will be filled with helpful treatments that you can’t do on your own. Your 30 or 60-minute appointment will be with the Doctor the entire time. We rarely leave your side so no lollygagging! Prepare to work.
Our goal is to make you feel at least 40-50% better on your first visit.
THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR CARE
Whether it’s the local 15U Hockey team, the weekend warrior marathoner, or the Olympics, the docs at True Sport Care have seen it all in the world of sports injuries. Not to mention they’ve been injured themselves so that helps in learning the best methods for resolving issues.
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
Our focus is the connection between your injury, the way you move and the demands of your sport. Care can include chiropractic treatment, soft tissue work, physical therapy and therapeutic exercises. We use the assessment to decide what belongs in your plan.
We evaluate concerns involving the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot and ankle, including muscle strains, tendon pain, sprains and movement limitations. Tell us about any diagnosed ligament, meniscus or labral injury and bring relevant reports. Your examination helps define the rehabilitation needs and next steps.
No. Our sports rehabilitation approach also serves recreational athletes, people returning to exercise and patients dealing with pain in daily life. Your goals and activity demands shape the plan, whether that means returning to competition or walking and lifting more comfortably.
We ask how the injury began, what aggravates it and what you need your body to do. The examination looks at relevant movement, strength, balance and asymmetry. We connect those findings to a treatment plan and explain the work to practice between visits.
Different sports ask different things of the body. Tell us about your position, training schedule and the movements that cause trouble—such as sprinting, throwing, cutting or lifting. That information helps us select exercises and discuss how to progress toward those demands.
Bring your current training schedule to the appointment. We can discuss which activities provoke your symptoms and where modifications may help. The answer depends on the injury and your examination; the goal is a plan you can use in your actual training routine.
Yes, targeted exercises may be part of care. We use them to address the movement and strength findings from your evaluation, with instructions you can follow between visits. Tell us how they feel so the program can be adjusted as you progress.
