Dr. Sheps, D.C. provides expert sports injury treatment in Brentwood, Los Angeles, using manual and noninvasive therapies to address injuries at their source, relieve pain, and promote healing—so you can return to your routine and the sports you love.
Sports injuries are caused by physical activities like running, lifting weights, and playing sports. They damage hard and/or soft tissues, including the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Anyone can suffer a sports injury, but they often affect folks who don’t practice injury prevention, like warming up, cooling down, and wearing proper safety equipment. But even those who do everything right can fall prey to a sports injury.
Every body is unique, and injuries or conditions can affect people in different ways. Dr. Sheps, D.C., provides personalized sports injury treatment in Los Angeles for athletes and active adults. After a thorough evaluation, you’ll receive a tailored treatment plan designed to support your recovery.
As a certified McKenzie practitioner, Dr. Sheps also teaches at-home care techniques to help you stay on track between visits. Depending on your needs, he may recommend one or more specialized treatments to ensure the best outcome.

Here are some frequently asked questions about treating sports injuries.
Dr. Sheps treats various sports injuries, including:
Sometimes, sports injuries happen because of general wear-and-tear. For example, lifting weights with poor form can cause a herniated disc or sciatica.
Make an appointment with Dr. Sheps if you suffer a sports injury, and your symptoms don’t improve with rest, ice, and over-the-counter (OTC) medication. That’s especially true if your pain continues for more than a few days, affects your mobility, and/or keeps you from your routine. Sports injuries tend to get worse over time. Chiropractic care speeds up your natural healing process so that you can return to competition.
Dr. Sheps reviews your medical records and asks about your injury, including when it happened, what it feels like, and if it affects your mobility. He examines your injured body part (a sore knee, for example), checking for redness and swelling. Dr. Sheps assesses your muscle strength and flexibility and gently presses your skin to pinpoint sensitive spots. He orders diagnostic imaging like X-rays or an ultrasound to check for damage to your bones, joints, and/or soft tissues.

Absolutely. Chiropractic treatments can improve joint alignment, flexibility, and muscle balance, which may enhance overall athletic performance and reduce injury risk.

“Dr. Sheps and his laser are miracle workers. I sprained my mcl skiing a few years back and went directly to Dr. Sheps for six consecutive days for laser treatments. I skied Jackson Hole ten days after my accident. Literal miracle. I’ve recommended him to so many people over the years and to a person, they’ve all made huge strides that PT alone just can’t do. I think the highest recommendation is that I drive from East Hollywood across the 405 just to visit him. He’s that good.”
