The following conditions or injuries can be treated with the goal of reduced or eliminated pain or discomfort, as well as increased function:
If an injury does occur, action should be taken as soon as possible. If an injury is treated in the beginning stages it will take much less time than if treatment is withheld until it has become a major injury. Think of a time when you have sprained an ankle or pulled a muscle. Your gait changes to compensate for the pain. It only takes a matter of days for your brain to think this dysfunctional movement is normal. When the body perceives that this dysfunction is normal this can delay recovery.
Top Ten Sports Injuries
Overuse injuries are the most common injuries related to sports. The repetitive movements associated with an active lifestyle or participating in sports causes cumulative wear and tear on the body. This can cause muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints to be more susceptible to injury. While some symptoms are due to an immediate injury, most injuries have subtle warning signs that take weeks, months, or years to develop. In order to help prevent injuries, active individuals and athletes should be examined to determine if there are any signs or symptoms present related to the onset of pain, loss of flexibility or loss of strength.

What distinguishes Dr. Price from others is that he takes an active approach to recovery. As a runner, I am often reluctant to significantly reduce my training or cut back on the miles - I want to be 'healed' while still training. During my course of treatment, Dr. Price successfully increased the range of motion in my hips and reduced the related pain, with only minimal interruptions in my training schedule.
