Chiropractic Care for Sprains & Strains in Rhode Island

Sprains and strains are common injuries during physical activity, sports, or daily tasks. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we specialize in non-invasive treatments for sprains and strains, helping you recover quickly and safely without surgery or medication.

Understanding Sprains & Strains

  • Sprains: A sprain occurs when a ligament, the tissue connecting bones at a joint, is stretched or torn. This is common in areas like the ankle, wrist, and knee.
  • Strains: A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon, the tissue that connects muscles to bones, is overstretched or torn. Strains often happen in the lower back, hamstrings, or shoulders.

Both injuries can range from mild to severe, depending on the extent of the damage. Without proper treatment, these injuries can become chronic and lead to long-term complications.

I have been dealing with a disc issue since December of 2023 and have tried everything from PT, injections, dry needling and acupuncture and nothing worked. I discovered DeCrescenzo Chiropractic and they have been a godsend! Shockwave Therapy and Decompression have given me the relief that I needed. The staff is absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend them enough! Thank you!
I love the whole staff!!!!!

I love this place and it's been a lifesaver. Ignore the horrible review that someone said (tricky.....) as his experience does not make sence. As for the comment in the car, I'd be more scared if it was an old broken down 1985 Chevy held together with duct tape.

So my story:

I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.

They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.

Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!

Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.

(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
This place is awesome!! Dr Chris is the best and the ladies that work there are phenomenal! If you have pain please go here and they will fix you. They have some of the newest equipment to help get you right.
Best chiropractor! Everyone here is nice and helpful.
I’ve had a fantastic experience at DeCrescenzo Chiropractic. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The shockwave therapy is truly amazing. My back and neck have not felt this well in 20 years. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a chiropractor.
I absolutely love coming here to get adjusted by Dr. Frankie. He's wonderful and listens to what is affecting you body and works with you to figure out the best way to treat it. I had accepted that my right hip was going to be painful walking but he sent me to get X-rays and then adjusted my pelvis over the course of several visits and now I can walk long distances without discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Frankie to anyone.
I dont know where to start! The beginning I guess! These Chiropractors cared enough to stick by me for 4 years as hard headed as I was! They believed in & pushed me to get the services I needed to become 1 million % pain FREE! I have multiple issues in my back! The disk Decompression, and Shock Wave Therapy they offer SAVED my LIFE!!!!! I have been PAIN FREE for 6 months after being in so much dibilating pain for 26 years!!!! I am so grateful for them sticking by me and pushing me to get the Disk Decompression & Shock Wave Therapy! I 1 million times over recommend them for their services!!!!

They take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your treatment clearly, and provide the most thorough, thoughtful care I’ve ever received.

After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
Best Chiropractors in RI. I have been going for years. Recently started the shockwave therapy for my chronic sciatic pain running down my leg. After 4 sessions I have NEVER felt so much relief from my sciatic pain. I have been pain free for 2 weeks. The office staff is terrific and Shadi and Greg have some of the best chiropractor's in RI to care for you, they truly want you to feel better.
