She is the official chiropractor of the STA Morris United Soccer Club, Morris Elite Soccer Club, New Jersey Renegades organization (a hockey team), the New Jersey Amateur Baseball Association (ABA) and the Morristown Gold Sox. She is also OnBaseU certified, which is a baseball certification for pitchers and hitters. Dr. Case had been awarded the Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor (ICSC) by Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport, known as (FICS).
Just about every professional sports team has a chiropractor, because chiropractic care can help athletes perform at their best. Here are some other benefits:
- Prevents injury
- Improves range of motion
- Accelerates healing
- Is a natural & effective alternative to pain medication
Not just the spine. We offer full body chiropractic care, including extremity adjustments. Whether you have an ankle sprain, a knee injury, hip pain, or are a pitcher with an elbow injury, we can address your concern with our care.
In addition to chiropractic, we feature therapeutic laser therapy, which can provide powerful healing without surgery. Therapeutic massage, k-taping, Active Release Technique, electric stimulation, ultrasound, therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation and Power plate whole body vibration therapy are also offered to promote healing, wellness and balance.
How soon can I return to my sport?
It depends on what Dr. Case finds. During first evaluation, a determination will be made whether your case can be treated with chiropractic or if you should be referred to another specialty. If chiropractic is your choice, she will encourage you to receive chiropractic care for a week or two, and see how you respond, all the while being monitored to see whether your condition is responding well or if another approach is warranted.
It’s always your choice how soon you want to return to your sport, but she will often advise patients not to get back in the game too soon, as there’s a chance it could get worse. “My recommendation is that if you want to play long term, the best thing to do now is rest for a week or two and give us a chance to try and get you better,” said Dr. Case.
When an athlete is injured, they want nothing more than to get back in the game faster. Laser Therapy treatments have helped thousands of athletes improve their performance and reduce their recovery time. Laser therapy is a way to treat acute injury without the need for drugs or surgery. Laser Therapy is clinically proven and FDA-cleared.
Treatments are safe and effective in treating patients for a wide array of health conditions and chronic or acute pain. Treatments offer fast and effective relief of inflammation, which is the primary cause of pain and discomfort and prevents you from healing quickly from injury or surgery. Laser Therapy helps to reduce the formation of scar tissue and increase range of motion. With the help of laser therapy, we can help patients heal quicker and get back to their favorite activity faster.
Laser Therapy improves blood flow in muscles, ligaments and joints, all while helping to flush toxins, speed recovery, and minimize muscle soreness.
Keeping top athletes in the game is one of our greatest passions at our clinic. To that end, we’re pleased to partner with Morris Elite (ME) Soccer Club.
ME is a New Jersey-based soccer club that caters to over 1,000 youth players in and around the Morris County area. The soccer club prides itself on providing exceptional support and training to athletes, with the guidance necessary to be successful in all aspects on the field and in the communities.
