Sports Injury Treatment in Lighthouse Point, FL

South Florida's year-round outdoor climate means sports injuries happen twelve months a year — there's no off-season here. Golf at the courses along Military Trail in Boca Raton, pickleball at the courts in Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach, tennis at clubs throughout Broward County, fishing off the piers in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — all of these activities produce the repetitive stress injuries that sideline active people.

At McNamara Chiropractic Center in Lighthouse Point, Dr. Carol McNamara Krauss treats sports injuries using the Sports Injury Recovery Program — Class IV laser and shockwave therapy focused on the tissue-level mechanisms that keep injuries from healing.

Why Overuse Injuries Don't Heal on Their Own

Most sports injuries seen in this practice aren't acute traumatic injuries — they're overuse tendinopathies. The tissue has been repeatedly loaded beyond its capacity, the normal inflammatory repair response has run its course, and what's left is degenerative, disorganized collagen that's chronically painful and structurally compromised.

Rest doesn't fix this. NSAIDs don't fix this. The tissue needs active regenerative stimulation — which is what Class IV laser and shockwave provide.
