Whether you’re training for a race, playing Friday night football, taking a Zumba class, working out at the gym, enjoying a pickleball match, or simply trying to stay active with your family, pain should not keep you on the sidelines.
Dr. Richard Collin takes time to understand what’s causing your discomfort, explain your options clearly, and help you move with greater comfort and confidence.
You want to stay active — not sit on the sidelines. If these symptoms sound familiar, you are not alone.
You don’t have to be a competitive athlete to experience an active lifestyle injury. Everyday activities like working out at the gym, joining a Zumba class, walking your neighborhood, gardening, lifting weights, or playing with your children can all place stress on your joints and muscles.
If pain is keeping you from doing the things you enjoy, the first step is understanding what may be contributing to the problem.
From youth sports to weekend activities and everyday movement, Dr. Collin works with patients of many activity levels who are dealing with pain in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, back, hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
Growing athletes can experience sprains, strains, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle pain, back pain, and soreness after practices, games, falls, or collisions.
Gym workouts and fitness classes can place stress on the shoulders, wrists, hips, knees, back, and ankles — especially when pain keeps coming back.
Weekend activities should be fun, not frustrating. Pain after pickleball, golf, running, hiking, or cycling may be a sign that something needs to be evaluated.
Active living is not limited to sports. Gardening, mowing, carrying supplies, home projects, and playing with family can all lead to aches, strains, and joint pain.
From youth sports and gym workouts to pickleball, golf, yard work, and everyday movement, active lifestyle pain can affect many areas of the body.
Whether your pain started during sports, after a workout, during yard work, or from simply staying active, same-day appointments are often available, walk-ins are welcome, and we’ll do everything we can to help you take the next step with confidence.
Call 770-361-8225Pain can happen anywhere the body is working hard. Dr. Collin is not a sports medicine specialist, but he does evaluate and care for many active patients dealing with pain in common areas of the body.
Throwing, lifting, serving, overhead movements, and workouts can all contribute to shoulder pain, tightness, or reduced motion.
Pickleball, tennis, baseball, weight lifting, gripping, and repetitive use may contribute to elbow, wrist, or hand discomfort.
Golf, cycling, lifting, football, cheerleading, yard work, and gym workouts can all place stress on the back and neck.
Running, Zumba, spin classes, hiking, squats, and repeated lower-body movement can contribute to hip stiffness or discomfort.
Running, jumping, stairs, football, basketball, cheerleading, and fitness classes can all aggravate the knees.
Twists, rolled ankles, old sprains, running, court sports, and walking can leave the ankle or foot feeling painful or unstable.
Great care starts with understanding what happened, what hurts, and what your pain is keeping you from doing.
Chiropractic care may help some active lifestyle injuries when joint restriction, muscle tension, posture, movement patterns, or irritation in the surrounding tissues are contributing factors.
At Collin Chiropractic, the goal is not to rush you back into activity or push through pain. The goal is to understand what is happening, explain your options clearly, and help you move more comfortably again.
Simple reminders while your body recovers.
Sharp, worsening, or unusual pain is your body’s way of asking for attention. Pushing harder is not always the right answer.
Gentle movement can often be helpful, but forcing painful activity can slow recovery. The goal is movement that feels safe and controlled.
If the same shoulder, knee, hip, wrist, ankle, neck, or back pain keeps returning every time you exercise or play, it is worth having it evaluated.
Swelling, weakness, instability, or loss of function may signal a more significant injury. If you are unsure, get checked before returning to full activity.
