Did you know that we have an Osteopractor here at Total Health Center Inc!

The Role of an Osteopractor in Sports Injury Recovery

Athletes and active individuals place constant stress on their muscles and joints, and when injury strikes, it can limit performance and slow recovery. An osteopractor specializes in restoring movement, relieving pain, and helping the body heal through advanced manual therapy techniques. At Total Health Center, Mohinder Chawdhry integrates osteopractic methods into personalized care plans to help patients recover from sports injuries safely and effectively.

What Is an Osteopractor?
An osteopractor is a licensed healthcare professional, typically a physical therapist or chiropractor, who has advanced education in evidence-based manual therapy for musculoskeletal conditions. This includes spinal and joint manipulation, dry needling, and various soft tissue mobilization techniques. Unlike standard care, osteopractic treatment emphasizes accurate biomechanical correction and focused pain management to encourage quicker healing and improved long-term mobility.

How Osteopractic Care Aids Sports Recovery
Sports injuries such as sprains, muscle strains, joint dysfunction, and tendon irritation can interfere with the body’s natural movement patterns. Osteopractic methods designed to restore stability and range of motion address both the pain source and the underlying issues, including poor posture or repetitive overuse. Through manual adjustments, dry needling, and instrument-assisted tissue work, these techniques help relieve inflammation, enhance circulation, and restore muscle flexibility.

Mohinder Chawdhry takes a patient-focused approach, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual’s specific injury, athletic activity, and performance goals. By combining osteopractic care with corrective strengthening and movement retraining, patients rebuild stability, regain confidence, and reduce the likelihood of reinjury as they resume full activity.

Benefits Beyond Pain Relief
Osteopractic care goes beyond symptom management; it promotes better performance and overall body awareness. Athletes often notice improved joint mobility, posture, and coordination after treatment. By optimizing musculoskeletal alignment, the body moves more efficiently, reducing strain on vulnerable areas. Whether recovering from an acute injury or managing chronic overuse, consistent care supports long-term health and performance stability.

At Total Health Center, Mohinder Chawdhry provides comprehensive care for athletes of all levels in Battle Creek & Lake Odessa and the surrounding areas. His expertise in osteopractic methods helps patients move confidently through recovery while preventing future setbacks.

If a sports injury is keeping you from training or competing, call Total Health Center at (269) 968-0888 in Battle Creek or (616) 374-0099 in Lake Odessa to schedule an appointment. Mohinder Chawdhry and his team are dedicated to helping you heal, strengthen, and perform at your best.

Thank you for your kind words.

Patient testimony:

"Over the past 3 years, I was a patient at THC for a labrum tear in my shoulder and hip issues. My latest "stent" in rehab was pist surgery and I started back with Mohinder and Steve. I had been non weight-bearing on my right leg for 2 months prior to surgery, we all felt like I was in a good spot. With the 2 months of nothingness, I watched my muscle and ligaments deteriorate at a rapid pace. It was clear during my intake visit that they were concerned about my well-being. They were both very involved in my care and became like family. Mohinder has a tool belt that is well equipped, starting with a thorough knowledge of the human body to treat patients. He is aware, not only of the physical condition he is treating, but the mental hurdles that sometimes must be overcome as well. Steve was constantly checking and adjusting my therapy program to help me meet goals. His wisdom during my treatment was also very appreciated, as well as his gentle way is encouraging me as I progressed It was because of those 2 that I was recently able to hike 1.5 miles in glacier National Park, less than a month after release from P. T. I'm forever grateful to the whole T. H. C office in Lake O, including Wendy! What an amazing group of people to heal with."

Common Causes of Leg and Foot Pain and How They're Treated

Leg and foot pain can interrupt your daily routine, limit mobility, and make simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Total Health Center we take a comprehensive approach to identifying the root cause of discomfort so patients can return to their lives with less pain and better movement.

What Causes Leg and Foot Pain?
Pain in the leg or foot often arises from mechanical tension, nerve aggravation, or systemic medical illness. Sciatica, a very frequent offender, is due to compression of the sciatic nerve and produces sharp, radiating pain that can extend from the lower back down the leg. Hips and lower spine muscle imbalances or joint dysfunctions can also cause pain to be referred to the feet or legs.

Muscle strains, ligament sprains, or repetitive use overloading can cause localized pain in the leg. Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or flat feet can lead to foot pain, especially if gait mechanics or posture place increased stress on specific joints and muscles. Circulatory compromise and diabetic neuropathy can also cause chronic pain in the leg or foot, most notably in older individuals or those with co-existing medical conditions.

How Treatment Supports Recovery
At Total Health Center, treatment begins with the awareness of your body's unique mechanics and daily stresses. Regardless of whether pain is the result of injury, postural habits, or cumulative stress, orbuilds a plan of care that focuses on the cause—not just the symptoms.

Adjustments can help realign the spine and improve nerve function, especially when nerve compression contributes to leg or foot pain. Soft tissue therapies, stretching routines, and posture retraining are often used to reduce tension and support long-term relief. For patients with gait or alignment issues, corrective exercises or orthotic recommendations may be included in the plan.

When stress contributes to discomfort, addressing its physical effects through therapeutic care and lifestyle guidance becomes an essential part of recovery. Every approach is designed to help patients move more comfortably and feel more in control of their health.

How Injury, Posture, and Stress Contribute to Neck and Back Pain

At Total Health Center, we help patients in Battle Creek and Lake Odessa find lasting relief from back and neck pain. Whether managing discomfort after an injury, noticing stiffness from long workdays, or carrying stress in your shoulders like a heavy coat you can’t take off, understanding what’s behind your pain is the first step toward real improvement.

Understanding the Strain of Everyday Injuries
Not every injury occurs with a dramatic twist or fall. Occasionally, they're subtle, such as the repetitive pull of lifting toddlers daily or the unusual reach into the back of your vehicle. These little movements accrue over time, building tension and misalignment. As a physical therapist, I've witnessed how these unseen injuries most commonly result in chronic back and neck pain that individuals attribute to "just getting older." You don't have to live in pain, though.

How Posture Creeps into Pain
Posture is seldom a deliberate choice. It's defined by habit, fatigue, and even emotion. I've helped teachers who lean over desks designed for kids, mechanics who stoop under cars all day, and office workers who gradually collapse into their chairs by 3 p.m. In every instance, posture is not so much a matter of slouching; it's how the spine reacts to repeated imbalance. Those compensations tighten and fatigue, eventually causing the muscles and joints of the neck and back to hurt over time.

When Stress Settles into the Spine
Stress doesn’t stay in the mind. It often takes up residence in the body, particularly in the neck and back. Tension from ongoing stress can influence muscle tone, breathing patterns, and circulation, contributing to the onset or worsening of back and neck pain. Over time, physical responses to stress can create a sense of pressure or tightness, especially after long periods of emotional or mental strain. While stress may not be avoidable, addressing its physical effects through targeted care can help reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

Take the Next Step Toward Relief
At Total Health Center, we take the time to understand how your daily life contributes to your pain. Whether you're in Battle Creek or Lake Odessa, our team offers treatment plans designed to target the unique ways your injury, posture, or stress affects your spine. Call us today to schedule your appointment at (269) 968-0888 in Battle Creek or (616) 374-0099 in Lake Odessa. Let’s help you move better, feel stronger, and return to your life without back and neck pain.
