Westfield Health & Rehabilitation
Sports Injury Chiropractor and Physical Therapy in Westfield, NJ: Athletes understand the numerous demands of participating in a sport. Putting your body through these activities, such as running, jumping or tackling, can result in painful tears, sprains and strains. Visiting our state-of-the-art chiropractic and physical rehabilitation center in Westfield can help athletes heal faster after suffering a sports injury and can build strength to prevent them.
Sports injuries can limit performance and cause pain:
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. This can happen in countless ways depending on what activity you are doing or what sport you are playing in. It is important to take precautionary measures but sometimes injuries can happen to the most physically active and experienced people. Often these conditions are a result of injuries suffered years or even decades ago that did not heal properly.
Children and teens tend to ignore what seem to be small injuries when they are active. But if an injury is left untreated, this can lead to chronic pain in other areas, that may not even be directly related to the focal point of the injury, such the knees, hips, back and neck. Many sports injuries are insufficiently treated or allowed to rest and heal, increasing the odds that they will cause chronic pain later in life. This can lead to pain, frustration and a decrease in athletic abilities.
Sports injuries can cause the following symptoms:
- Swelling
- Burning, dull pain
- Headaches
- Muscle Pains
- Inflammation
- Muscle Spasms
Sports injuries can cause further injuries if left untreated:
Although many people think that chiropractic is solely limited to the spine, Dr. Carnucci and his team treats and helps prevent injuries of the neck, back, shoulders, knees and ankles. When the spine is perfectly aligned, this can alleviate tension in the body, decreases inflammation and allows the nervous system to function optimally.
When the spine is aligned, vital nutrients, water and body can travel throughout the body easily. It can also increase the immune system, which is ideal for anyone with a busy and active lifestyle. This allows the body to function better and become less susceptible to injury.
Our doctors can help athletes by relieving their pain and helping them heal faster after an injury. Many athletes try to mask pain with medication, but this can lead to further risk and damage to the body. At Westfield Health & Rehabilitation, we will perform a full evaluation. Our chiropractors and licensed physical therapists will construct a customized treatment plan to get you feeling your best and back to doing what you love.

Unlike other sports medicine clinics, our rehabilitation center is a 6,000 foot, state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest in health care technology and innovation.

What Our Patients are Saying…
Dr. Todd helped me get through my first and only marathon. Not being a runner, he helped me with all of the aches and pains associated with the pounding on the back and joints!*

Dr. Todd & his staff are the best! As an RN for nearly 40 years, I am very selective in who I trust my healthcare to. Dr. Todd’s staff are friendly, professional, & all work together as a great team. The energy in his practice is exceedingly positive, which promotes healing. I have received chiropractic care, PT, & acupuncture. I no longer get headaches since starting chiropractic care with him. His modalities have helped heal low back pain & various injuries. I highly recommend his practice to everyone I know!*

The healing that Dr. Todd and his staff have done not only for me but my family, my grandchildren ages 10, 9, 9 and 2, my daughters, my brother and mother of 82 is AMAZING.*

I have 2 health issues…IBD & an arthritic neck with some bad discs; probably too much time in front of a computer screen, and perhaps age too, although hate to admit that part. The first I cannot control – it comes and goes – but my neck belongs to this unit 100%…a caring, professional, diligent and most importantly, results-oriented group! Starting with my exercise routine, followed by the magic fingers of my physical therapist, and finally my session with Dr. Todd allows me to walk out of there, amazed with full motion in my neck. Tucked away in my bag, I have a new stretch band and a new series of exercises to keep me from locking up again. Highly recommended as this group stays ahead of the curve on the latest pain management technology and practices, keeping me a step ahead of my pain!*

Dr. Carnucci has a really great practice. His staff is extremely friendly and took the time to make me feel like they truly cared about me. I grew up in Cranford and whenever I travel back home I make sure to stop to see Dr. Carnucci’s for an adjustment. I highly recommend his practice to anyone who needs chiropractic care or physical therapy.*
