Post Traumatic Injuries
Sprains and Strains in Matawan, NJ
Dr. Sharon Barnum: A & A Chiropractic
Sprains and strains are usually minor injuries that often result from auto accidents, work related injuries, sports, exercise, or other physical activity. Sprains refer to an injury to a ligament (the connective tissue that links bones together at joints). Sprains happen most often in the ankle, knee, elbow, or wrist. Strains are tears in muscle tissue and can affect daily routines. They happen most often in the muscles that support the calf, thigh, groin, and shoulder.
When you visit a chiropractor to recover from a sprain or strain, they will assess your injury and develop a treatment plan. The goal of treatment is to always return the patient to their previous level of function before the injury occurred. There are three grades of sprains and strains: mild, moderate or severe. These injuries can range from a slight tearing of the muscle to a complete tear of the ligament. Depending on the grade of injury, additional treatment may be necessary.
Common signs of a sprain or strain:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Limited mobility
- Muscle spasms
How chiropractic care can help:
Gentle manipulation helps relieve pain and ensures the injury heals properly, reducing the time it takes for you to resume your active lifestyle. Treatment methods such as soft tissue massage, stretches and exercises, cold and heat therapy and physical rehabilitation can help relieve pain effectively.

Today was my 5th day doing the treatment. From the first day that I came to see Dr. Sharon Barnum up to today, I feel so much better. Like I told her, my pain went down by 70-80%. I drive about 1.5hrs approximately and my muscles became so intense that pain meds don’t work anymore. I was in so much pain that I had to call out so often. And on March 26, I could not help it anymore. I needed some help and Dr. Barnum helped me so much to heal my neck, shoulder and back pain. Despite that she is out of network for me, I keep going because she really helps me.

I lived with severe shoulder pain for two years that significantly limited my mobility. I was convinced I would eventually need surgery, especially since I couldn’t pinpoint any specific injury that caused it. After just a few short months of treatment with Dr. Barnum, my shoulder completely healed. It’s now been a full year, and I still have zero pain or limitations. I truly feel amazing. Dr. Barnum is incredibly skilled- her adjustments on the back and neck leave you feeling brand new every time. My body is so grateful for her care. I won’t ever go anywhere else and I can’t wait to go back!

Currently seeing Dr. Barnum and it’s been nothing but positive experience. Always feel great after an adjustment and the stretches and tips recommended to continue at home truly make a difference. You can tell her goal is to get you to actually feel better not just well enough to make it to your next visit.

10/10 recommend. I’m the “trouble” patient with issues in multiple areas of my back due to a car accident and the level of treatment I receive from the chiropractor is unmatched from other chiropractors I’ve seen in the past. Personable & friendly, and genuinely cares about your wellbeing along with getting a detailed history to determine the best treatments. I’ve followed her from two locations and will continue to follow her until the end of time due to the quality of services she provides.
