Dealing with a sprain injury can be really painful and inconvenient. A sprain is an injury where your ligaments are stretched beyond their normal range, sometimes even causing a tear in the ligament itself. The result can be intense and sharp pains in the affected area. Many times this can include swelling and bruising of the area as well.
If you sustain a sprain or strain injury, it’s time to ice and elevate. Then, of course, to come see our chiropractic team in Tallahassee for an evaluation. We want to help get you on the quickest path to recovery.

There are a number of different ways that our team can help you heal from your sprain or strain injury. We will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the severity and location of your injury as well as your unique needs and preferences.
One of the most common ways we treat sprains and strains is with chiropractic adjustments. These gentle yet effective adjustments can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness while also promoting healing. On top of that, depending on your injury, we may help with certain stretching exercises to help with your healing process as well as strengthen the injured ligaments and surrounding tissue.
Sprained Ankle Treatment in Tallahassee
The most common type of sprain is with your ankle. This is because the ankle is constantly in motion and supports a lot of weight, making it more susceptible to injury. As you walk, run, exercise, or play sports, there is the risk of your ankle bending incorrectly causing the ligaments to stretch too far or even tear.
If you sustain a sprained ankle, our team can help. We will start by doing a thorough evaluation to determine the severity of your ankle injury and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. This may include chiropractic adjustments, stretches, and exercises. We will also provide guidance on how to best care for your sprained ankle at home between visits. This commonly includes a combination of ice/heat applications as well as elevation to help reduce swelling.
If you have sustained a sprain or strain injury, don’t wait to seek treatment. The sooner you can start your treatments and care for your ankle, the faster and easier recovery can be.

The single best chiropractor I’ve been to in FL.
Dr.Shippy is also a Doctor of Chiropractic Neurology certified. He gives you eye exercises that ophthalmic neurologists ( not found in TLH), does neck & low back traction, manipulation , laser. He responsibly refers to M.D.s as necessary. If you want to influence your mind & body seek Sensoria Chiropractic aka Dr. Alex Shippy.
I had some neck and back pain and tension. After 1 month of consistent alignments, I am back to normal with no pain or discomfort at all. Will be back in the future for more realignments. Great staff, so kind and accommodating.
I cannot thank Dr. Shippy of Sensoria Chiropractic enough for the exceptional, kind, compassionate and professional care he has given to my seventeen year old Yorkie Cuthbert. Cuthbert was having difficulty walking because his back was arched causing his hind legs to be compromised. After just two visits and expert treatment from Dr. Shippy he is moving freely again and walking like a five year old. Thank you so much for giving my Cuthbert his health and movement back Dr. Shippy. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy for any problems your pet may have. He is the best!
Dr Shippy was fantastic with Gidget! And so professional… I think it totally helped her feel better. Being a 12 year old Lab isn’t easy and Dr Shippy identified issues we didn’t think of, it was a very productive visit.
Dr. Shippy is the absolute best! He’s been Milo’s (my Frenchie’s) chiropractor for the past two years, and Milo ABSOLUTELY loves him! He is so patient and gentle with Milo, especially because he can be a little wild. Dr. Shippy always works around his craziness to make sure he gets his back adjusted, and of course, there’s playtime afterwards! 🐾❤️
I started seeing Dr. Shippy myself back in February, and going every other week has made such a difference. I honestly wish I had started sooner! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and takes the time to really listen. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy, he’s amazing with both people and pets! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had found no relief with my POTS symptoms, despite trying multiple doctors and various approaches for several years. After just 4-5 treatments from Dr. Shippy, I already felt such an improvement in my POTS symptoms. I am able to do more things now than I was before this treatment!
I took my daughter to Dr. Shippy for severe neck pain. He was very professional and did a thorough exam including xrays. He was very proficient with spinal adjustments. He also didn't hard sell a cookie cutter care plan as many chiropractors do. I have worked with quite a few local chiropractors since the late 90s, and I'm an advanced practice health care provider myself. I highly recommend Sensoria Chiropractic.
Dr. Shippy is great, he is knowledgeable & very professional! Yesterday was my 1st chiropractic appointment since 2020. After years of nursing my baby & going through the whole infant- toddler faze with my daughter had put my body out of alignment. As a yoga teacher I do many poses to help my alignment, but no pose could EVER do what Dr. Shippy was able to do. My right shoulder was higher than my left, causing jaw, neck, and shoulder discomfort. As well as my mid to lower back. Today I feel I have a better range of motion and am shifting in my seat less often. I can’t wait to come back to help my tilted pelvis. ( also the office is super sophisticated, I love the mood and furniture)
I was searching for an animal chiropractor for my 8yo doberman Luka. He was suffering from some kind of trauma to his neck and I was hoping Dr Shippy could help him. The first couple of times Luka was very nervous, as he had never had any spinal adjustments. Dr Shippy was very kind and VERY patient with him. His 3rd adjustment went very well and Luka has gone from a dog in a lot of pain, to a dog that can now play with his ‘siblings’ without fear of getting hurt. It’s been nothing short of a miracle for Luka, and I thank God I found a wonderful Dr for him. Dr Shippy genuinely cares for animals, you can clearly see that in how he treats them. I will continue to bring Luka to him whenever he needs a chiropractor!!! Thank you for all you have done for Luka, Dr Shippy!!
I highly recommend Dr. Shippy to anyone looking for an excellent chiropractor. When I first came to his office I was dealing with significant pain and very limited mobility. Something as simple as going down the stairs was extremely difficult for me. After working with Dr. Shippy my pain has decreased dramatically and my mobility has improved so much that I can now go down the stairs without any issues. I am even starting to get back into my exercise routine.<br><br>One thing that really stands out is how thorough and attentive he is. His intake process is very detailed and he spends real time understanding what is going on with your body. Unlike some places where you walk in, get a quick adjustment, and are out the door within a minute, Dr. Shippy truly takes the time to ask how you are doing and evaluate what actually needs attention that day.<br><br>He also offers a variety of treatments including laser therapy and a decompression machine, which makes a big difference in the level of care you receive. Every adjustment feels very intentional and purposeful. He is very intuitive and does not just adjust for the sake of adjusting.<br><br>Dr. Shippy is incredibly patient, professional, and accommodating with scheduling. His office has a welcoming and positive environment that makes every visit a great experience. I am very grateful for the progress I have made under his care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve mobility and reduce pain.
