The joke goes that a football player tells the doctor “It hurts whenever I touch my face, knee and elbow.” The doctor replies, “You’ve broken your hand.” Well, that’s what sports injuries are like, so you’re no exception! Call Spinal Rehab Sports Medicine (512-258-4425)!
Did you know that the knee is the largest joint in the body - and the most complicated? Yes, it’s a single joint - and basically makes movement possible.
The Central Austin clinic, led by Dr. Bob Meyer, has updated its therapeutics treatments for active individuals and athletes suffering from chronic or periodic and acute knee pain. The center treats all knee-related injuries, including ACL tears, MCL/LCL strains, and Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Jumper's knee, for example, refers to inflammation and tears in the patellar tendon while runner’s knee is a common name for PFPS, a syndrome caused by incongruent movement patterns.

With the help of advanced therapies and custom rehabilitation programs, Spinal Rehab Sports Medicine is able to help you recover better and more quickly from crippling injuries that cause chronic and acute knee discomfort, limiting your mobility. As a leader in sports medicine technology with an extensive range of equipment, the clinic provides cutting-edge treatments, such as Halo Magnetic Resonance Therapy and Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT).
A September 2022 survey of American adults who have been treated for chronic knee pain and/or osteoarthritis in the knee found that almost four in ten individuals were under the age of 50, pointing - in part - to the prevalence of sports-related injuries to the knee. Aside from the expected consequences - poor sleep, difficulties at work, and a decline in mental health - over 90% of respondents claimed that the debilitating pain made them shun social events altogether.
As a consulting chiropractor to the University of Texas Athletic Department since 2003, Dr. Meyer - ‘Dr. Bob’ as he is known - is intimately familiar with all sports-related injuries, and knows that effective treatments depend on an understanding of your entire case history. Accordingly, the clinic performs a thorough physical and biomechanical exam - including the lower back, pelvis, hip, ankle, and foot - before developing a therapy program in consultation with you.
Spinal Rehab Sports Medicine's goal is to heal you - both in the short term and for the long term. To mitigate joint inflammation, reduce pain, and expedite soft tissue healing the clinic may employ laser, ultrasound, and/or regeneration therapies. Normalizing joint function may involve chiropractic manipulation and mobilization techniques, trigger point therapy, and compression therapy. Additionally, the rehabilitation program will help you improve your strength, endurance, and balance - allowing you to return to your active lifestyle and prevent future injuries.
One patient a couple of weeks ago commented: “Dr. Bob and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and efficient. Guided me step by step on the what and why of the treatments being done and how to work together to fix it. I would highly recommend to not only athletes but to all to see.”
Dr. Bob has worked with Olympic athletes and professional sports stars. Think of the best car mechanic you've ever met, that guy or woman who doesn't bat an eyelash when someone hauls in a 100-year-old Model T next to the 1972 Datsun and last year's Ferrari.
That's Dr. Bob, but with people, of course! If he can't fix you, who can?!
