Sports Injury Care in Walnut Creek, CA
Back to the thing you love doing
Rehabilitation and prevention for weekend athletes and competitors alike, so a setback does not become a season.
Heal it properly, then keep it from coming back
An injury is rarely just the sore spot. A strained hamstring changes how you run; a tweaked shoulder changes how you swing. Left alone, the body compensates, and the compensation becomes the next injury.
Dr. Salem restores proper motion and alignment, calms the injured tissue with Erchonia cold laser, and supports the area with kinesiology taping so you can keep moving while it heals. Then she helps you address the pattern that led there in the first place.
