— Conditions We Treat
—— UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION
Sports injuries are musculoskeletal injuries that occur during athletic activity or physical exercise. They range from acute trauma — such as sprains, strains, and ligament tears — to chronic overuse injuries that develop gradually over time. Common sports injuries include ACL, MCL, and LCL knee ligament tears, rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, IT band syndrome, shin splints, ankle sprains, and shoulder impingement.
"Treating the pain without addressing the movement patterns and structural imbalances that caused the injury is the most common reason athletes keep getting re-injured."
D.N.F.T.® evaluates the entire structural system — not just the painful area — identifying the misalignments and compensation patterns that set the stage for injury and keep the cycle repeating. We also utilize the Phoenix Thera-lase to treat many different types of sports injuries.

—— OUR APPROACH
Our approach to sports injuries combines three integrated tools working simultaneously:
01
The reactive leg check identifies structural misalignments and nervous system dysfunction contributing to the injury — correcting them with a gentle, low-force adjustment that doesn't stress already-irritated tissue.
02
High-power therapeutic laser that penetrates up to 6 inches into soft tissue to reduce inflammation, accelerate ligament and tendon healing, and stimulate cellular repair — the same technology used by NFL and NBA teams.
Personalized movement and strength programming built directly with Dr. Humberto to rebuild stability, restore mobility, and retrain movement patterns so the injury doesn't return.
That way you can get back to doing what you love.

Yes. Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX specializes in sports injury treatment using D.N.F.T.® chiropractic, Phoenix Thera-Lase laser therapy, and customized rehab programs. Dr. Humberto Figueroa Pérez treats sprains, strains, ACL/MCL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and other sports-related conditions serving patients from Grapevine, Southlake, and across DFW.
Recovery time depends on the severity of the injury and how long it has been present. Acute injuries often respond within a few sessions; ligament injuries and chronic overuse patterns typically require a more comprehensive care plan. Dr. Humberto will outline a realistic timeline after your assessment at Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX.
The Phoenix Thera-Lase penetrates up to 6 inches into soft tissue, reducing inflammation and accelerating healing at the cellular level — including in ligaments and tendons that have poor blood supply and typically heal slowly. It is the same technology used by professional sports teams including the Kansas City Chiefs and Phoenix Suns.
Not necessarily. Dr. Humberto will assess your injury and advise on activity modification during treatment. In many cases patients continue modified activity while healing — rather than complete rest — which often produces better outcomes.
