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.

DeCrescenzo Chiropractic uses gentle, non-invasive treatments to help you recover from sprains and strains. Our chiropractic care focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring mobility to the affected area. We work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific injury and supports your recovery.

Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation can be used to address spinal misalignment's that may contribute to sprains and strains. By restoring proper joint function and movement, this technique can reduce pain, improve stability, and promote healing.

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy
Class IV Hot Laser Therapy can help reduce inflammation and promote healing of sprains and strains. The laser energy increases blood circulation to the affected area, stimulating cellular regeneration and reducing pain.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy can address pain and soft tissue damage resulting from sprains and strains. The high-energy sound waves stimulate the body's natural healing response, breaking down scar tissue, reducing inflammation, and promoting the growth of new blood vessels for long-term pain relief.

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)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. 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.
