Conditions We Treat at Kinetix Sport + Spine
From acute sports injuries to chronic pain patterns that haven’t responded elsewhere — every condition starts with a root-cause movement assessment before treatment begins.
Common Conditions at Kinetix
Sports injuries, overuse conditions, and movement-driven pain — each one treated at the source, not just the symptom.
Low Back Pain
The most common complaint in our clinic — and the most commonly mistreated. Almost always a hip or thoracic mobility problem, not a back problem.
Learn moreShoulder Pain
Rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and instability — usually driven by restricted thoracic rotation, not the shoulder alone.
Learn moreKnee Pain
Runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, and patellar tendinopathy — typically caused by hip weakness or foot mechanics, not the knee itself.
Learn moreHip Pain
Hip flexor tightness, bursitis, labral tears, and FAI — the hip is the athletic engine and the most common source of low back and knee pain.
Learn moreNeck Pain
Facet syndrome, cervicogenic headaches, and disc herniations — almost always driven by restricted thoracic mobility underneath.
Learn moreElbow Pain
Golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, and pitcher’s elbow — overuse injuries driven by swing mechanics, grip pattern, or shoulder dysfunction upstream.
Learn morePlantar Fasciitis
Classic heel pain on first steps — driven by restricted ankle dorsiflexion and calf tightness, not a foot problem in isolation.
Learn moreCarpal Tunnel
Hand numbness and tingling that often isn’t actually at the wrist. Dr. Matt screens the full median nerve pathway from neck to hand.
Learn moreGolf Injuries
TPI-informed assessment and treatment for every common golf injury — low back, elbow, shoulder, hip, and wrist — with a direct body-swing connection approach.
Learn moreEvery Condition Starts with the Same Question: Why?
Pain is the body’s warning signal — not the problem itself. The structure that hurts is almost never the structure that broke first. Before Dr. Matt treats anything, he identifies where in the kinetic chain the breakdown originated.
This is the fundamental difference between treating a symptom and resolving a condition. Most recurring injuries recur because the upstream cause was never found. The SFMA movement assessment is how we find it.
- Movement Screen (SFMA) — systematic assessment of the kinetic chain to find the breakdown point, not just the pain point
- Soft Tissue Release (ART) — Full Body Active Release Techniques targeting the specific restrictions identified in the screen
- Joint Treatment — chiropractic manipulation or mobilization at the segments where motion is actually restricted
- Corrective Exercise — progressive loading of the repaired ranges, delivered via app so you reinforce treatment between sessions
- Return-to-Sport Plan — clear timeline and load guidelines so you know exactly when and how to get back to full activity
