Chiropractor Near Quiet Waters

The Quiet Waters area of Deerfield Beach takes its name and its character from the county park at its center: cable wakeboarding, kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake, mountain-bike and walking trails, camping and a lot of pickleball. The neighborhoods around it are younger than Deerfield's average, full of families and weekend athletes who use the park hard.

That produces a specific set of injuries: the shoulder and neck wrenches of wakeboard falls, the low back strain of loading and paddling kayaks, the knees and ankles of trail running and pickleball, and the desk necks of parents who commute on the Sawgrass and I-95 the rest of the week. This office is twelve minutes east, Powerline Road to Sample Road and straight to Federal Highway, and has the laser, shockwave and decompression equipment those injuries often need.

• Shoulder and neck injuries from wakeboarding falls and paddling, treated with adjustments, Class IV laser and, for stubborn tendons, shockwave.
• Knee and ankle overuse from trail running and pickleball. See pickleball knee injury.
• Low back strain from lifting boards and kayaks and from long seated commutes.
• Tennis and pickleball elbow, treated with shockwave when rest has failed.
• Children's sprains from the park and the school leagues, examined gently with a parent present.

Powerline Road south to Sample Road, then Sample east across I-95 and Dixie Highway to Federal Highway (US-1); turn south and the office is 3320 N. Federal Highway, between Copans Road and Sample Road. About twelve minutes. Free parking in front of the building.

I wrenched my shoulder wakeboarding. Do I need an orthopedic doctor or a chiropractor?

If the shoulder dislocated, or there was a pop with immediate weakness, see orthopedics. If it is painful with overhead motion, stiff or aching at night without those signs, a conservative evaluation here is a sensible first step, and the exam refers out when it finds a tear that needs a surgeon.

Can you treat pickleball elbow without a cortisone shot?

That is the usual goal. Shockwave therapy and Class IV laser treat the tendon directly, and a specific loading plan rebuilds it. Most players avoid injections. The shoulder is examined at the same time because the two are often connected.

How quickly can a weekend injury be seen?

Usually Monday or Tuesday. Call (954) 902-6371 first thing and the office will fit you in. Acute strains seen in the first week resolve faster and are less likely to linger.

Do you see kids hurt at the park?

Yes. Sprains, strains and post-fall neck checks in school-age children are examined conservatively with a parent in the room. If imaging or a specialist is needed, that is said plainly and arranged.
