Conditions

  • Back pain prompts many to seek chiropractic care at Keesee Sports Chiropractic for treatment. We encounter patients with diverse back pain experiences, from mild discomfort to total immobility.

    Back pain affects individuals of all ages, athletic abilities, and activity levels. If you experience any level of back discomfort or if your mobility is hindered due to back problems, a chiropractor may help.

    Remember, when your body is in pain, it's signaling that something isn't quite right. Identifying the root cause of the pain is the crucial first step. Addressing the underlying issue not only relieves discomfort but also promotes improved function, preventing more significant problems.

  • While we typically associate the spine with the back, it begins in the neck. Known as the cervical spine, this section comprises seven vertebrae responsible for supporting the head.

    In today's digital age, our neck muscles are frequently engaged due to our interactions with devices and electronics. Whether it's social media, browsing your phone, using a tablet, managing your remote work setup, or watching TV, your neck is consistently utilized, often in incorrect postures.

  • Individuals who prioritize an active lifestyle often subject their bodies to more stress than those who don't. We cater to patients at various stages, from weekend warriors to professional athletes. Our approach involves working closely with patients, tailoring treatments to their specific sport or activity. This includes a focus on target muscle groups, joints, and common injuries resulting from overuse.

  • When it comes to shoulder pain, chiropractic care offers effective solutions beyond just adjustments. Our approach implements soft tissue treatments and targeted rehabilitation to decrease pain and enhance overall function. We can also facilitate imaging to thoroughly evaluate shoulder structures, helping pinpoint the source of pain for a comprehensive treatment plan.

  • The knee plays a crucial role not only in everyday living but also in sports, serving as a fundamental joint for various athletic activities. When knee pain arises, it can significantly impact both daily life and sports performance. Our chiropractic care emphasizes a comprehensive approach to address knee issues, incorporating targeted soft tissue treatments and specialized rehabilitation. Recognizing the pivotal role the knee plays in sports and daily activities, we focus on reducing pain, enhancing functionality, and ensuring optimal performance for an active and fulfilling lifestyle. Additionally, we provide the option to order imaging studies for a thorough assessment tailored to individual needs

  • The hip is a remarkably intricate and mobile joint, serving as a keystone for various daily activities and a central component in the mechanics of movement. Its complexity makes it prone to a range of issues, impacting both daily functionality and participation in physical activities. At our chiropractic clinic , we prioritize comprehensive care for hip-related concerns, employing targeted soft tissue treatments and specialized rehabilitation techniques. Recognizing the pivotal role of the hip in overall mobility and daily life, our approach aims to alleviate pain, enhance function, and promote optimal performance, ensuring individuals can lead an active and pain-free lifestyle.

  • Navigating the aftermath of an auto injury, particularly whiplash, requires specialized care to address the unique challenges it poses. At our chiropractic practice, we understand the complexity of auto injuries and employ evidence-based treatments and protocols to tailor our approach to your specific needs. Whether you're dealing with whiplash or other injuries sustained in an accident, our goal is to provide comprehensive chiropractic care that not only alleviates pain but promotes a full recovery. We collaborate with other healthcare specialists through referrals to ensure a complete and thorough recovery, addressing all aspects and support your overall well-being in the aftermath of an auto-related incident.

  • Injury Prevention

    Deploying integrative hands-on assessment, Dr. Keesee evaluates each patient’s activity level and type to understand the unique biodynamic movement and recommend a proactive plan to mitigate activity-based injuries. This can lead to improved performance and confidence in an active lifestyle.

  • Chiropractic Care

    Leveraging chiropractic techniques, Dr. Keesee treats mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system related to the spine and extremities. These techniques include adjusting and advanced soft tissue modalities to address conditions such as pain, joint dysfunction and lack of movement.

  • Sports Rehabilitation

    Utilizing evidence-based and clinically tested assessment techniques and treatment protocols, Dr. Keesee works with his patients to diagnose and heal sports and activity-based injuries. Partnering with other local providers, Dr. Keesee procures medical images from x-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as part of his assessment process when applicable.
