A sports injury is not just a sore body part, it is a sign that something in how you move or load broke down. Treating the pain without fixing that pattern is how athletes end up reinjured the moment they ramp back up. Our job is to get you back to your sport and keep you there.
Dr. Wagner is a board-certified sports physician and former pro football player, so we read injuries the way an athlete needs, assess the whole movement, treat the tissue, and rebuild the strength and control to return at full speed.
Treated by people who get the athlete
When you compete, "rest until it stops hurting" is not a plan, it is lost progress and a deconditioned body that gets hurt again. We respect the goal of getting back, and we are honest about the timeline it actually takes.
We assess how you move under load, treat the injured tissue with ART, dry needling, and the right modalities, then progress you through real return-to-sport criteria, not a guess.
What return-to-sport care looks like
- A movement assessment to find the real cause, not just the sore spot
- Hands-on treatment plus shockwave or laser for stubborn tissue
- Blood flow restriction to build strength while you heal
- Progressive loading and movement work with clear return milestones
