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.

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.
Dr. Barnum is the best. She’s been treating me for multiple issues the last few months and I’m significantly better.
My back was tight and in a lot of pain. After being adjusted, I woke up the next morning feeling much better and able to move around without feeling tight.
Quick and good service! Got my DOT Exam done for the best price in the area!
“Absolutely great services”
Came here to get my DOT medical examination and it was a quick appointment so I could get back to work !!
I’ve had lower back issues from a herniated disc for about 7 years. I went to see Dr. Barnum about 6 weeks ago after not getting the results I wanted from other chiropractors. Dr. Barnum is very thorough and detailed in her assessment and care. I love the fact that she stresses preventive care (strengthening and stretching) along with medical treatments. I haven’t felt this pain free in years. She is easy to get ahold of and even made sure there was another doctor available when she was on vacation. I will continue to see Dr. Barnum and highly recommend her services. I couldn’t not be happier.
Dr Barnum is outstanding doctor. Easy to talk to. She really cares about her patients. One of my issues was that I could not move my neck. Within a a few weeks with Dr Barnum I had full range of motion. I highly recommend Dr Barnum.
Great place to get your CDL medical done. Very nice woman at the front desk and the Doctor is terrific. Will definitely go back again.
I have used Dr. Barnum twice. She is top notch in her profession. I have used her twice for 2 different incidents. I did try someone else but found myself coming back to her. I have found myself referring others to her. Hopefully will not have a need for. Her again tho.
