      Sprains are injuries to the ligaments, tissue that connects bones to other bones.

      Sprains and/or strains can lead to joint misalignment, pain and spasm, scar tissue, and altered muscle and joint function.  In some cases, surgery is required to repair the injury.  At Atlantic Chiropractic Dr. Saracina will evaluate your injury and determine if she can help with your injury.  If necessary, a referral will be made to a different provider.  If you are a candidate for treatment typically consists of Graston Technique, Electric Muscle Stimulation, cryotherapy, gentle manipulation of the involved joint.
