Sports Injuries Treatment in Knoxville, TN
Sports injuries range from a sudden sprain or strain to overuse problems that build quietly over a season, sidelining athletes and active people of every level. Homberg Chiropractic & Wellness looks beyond the painful area to find what's driving it, building drug-free care around your recovery and a confident return to activity.

Athletes rely on chiropractic care to recover from injuries, to keep performing at their best, and to reduce the chance of getting hurt in the first place. Dr. Hennie has been proud to work with athletes at every level, from Olympic and professional competitors to college, high school, and everyday active people across Knoxville, in sports ranging from soccer, tennis, and track to golf, dance, and cheerleading. He regularly helps resolve injuries to the knees, shoulders, neck, back, arms, ankles, wrists, and elbows.
Because the body works as a connected system, we do not treat a sports injury as an isolated problem. A knee issue may start at the hip, and a sore shoulder may trace back to the neck and upper back. Dr. Hennie takes time to understand you, your sport, your goals, and your injury, then builds a personalized, drug-free recovery plan aimed at getting you back to full participation, not just quieting the pain for a day.
A Drug-Free Approach to Recovery
Pain medication can mask a sports injury without helping the underlying tissue heal, and it carries real risks, especially for young athletes. That is why a drug-free first step matters. Chiropractic care and the supporting therapies we offer are designed to help the body recover so you can return to activity sooner, rather than covering up a problem that is still there. Even athletes dealing with older injuries or lingering, chronic pain can benefit from a structured, function-focused plan.
Preventing the Next Injury
Some of the most valuable work happens before an injury occurs. Ergonomics and posture training can meaningfully reduce common overuse injuries, and regular chiropractic care helps athletes maintain correct form and core stability, both of which protect performance and lower injury risk. With millions of sports- and recreation-related injuries treated in the U.S. each year, that preventive edge adds up over a season.
If you or someone in your family is dealing with a sports injury, we would be glad to help. Seek urgent medical care first for a suspected fracture, a head injury with confusion or loss of consciousness, severe swelling or deformity, or symptoms that rapidly worsen.
