Chiropractic Care for Sports Injuries
Chiropractic care is an important therapy in treating sports injuries. At Tracy Chiropractic, we examine clients who have sports injuries to ensure that the spine and other bones are aligned and balanced, reducing tension in the body. This method helps restore joint function while reducing inflammation and providing pain management, helping athletes recover from sports injuries more quickly.
Care for Sports Injuries in the Tracy Area
Our doctors have extensive experience providing sports injury services for local teams. We partner with several local orthopedic surgeons to provide optimal care for patients before and after treatments and surgical procedures. Local high school sports participation physicals are also available in our office.
Meet Our Sports Injury Practitioners
For the past decade, Dr. Brown has been a team doctor for the Tracy High School football team. Dr. Brown is on the sidelines at every game and in the training room with athletes before games, constantly evaluating their conditions and ensuring they can safely play. He demonstrates proper stretching techniques and special exercises for players overcoming sports injuries. Dr. Brown’s guidance and care have resulted in improved stability and function for the players he treats.
Dr. Dell'Aringa is a coach and trainer for the local competition cheer team, Athletic Perfection. In addition to her responsibilities as a coach, she provides the team with preventive and recovery care for common injuries to the ankle, calf, shoulders, and knees. Athletes from local high schools who are recovering from surgeries trust Dr. Dell'Aringa for rehabilitative therapy.
Dr. Dell'Aringa is also a certified Kinesio® tape practitioner and uses this method to help relieve soreness and limited mobility. Kinesthetic taping helps athletes perform at their best when dealing with pain from sprains, strains, contusions, and general achiness. Kinesio® tape stretches to move with the body naturally, helps reduce healing time, and increases blood flow to the affected area.

Myofascial Release
Muscles are covered by soft tissue called fascia that becomes irritated with overuse, causing inflammation and discomfort. With a myofascial release, our doctors apply gentle pressure to sensitive areas of the muscle and fascia. This safe, effective technique helps reduce pain and restores range of motion to the affected muscles. Myofascial release sessions also include education in proper body mechanics and movement, self-treatment instruction, and postural and movement awareness.
