Hannibal, MO is just 22 miles from Quincy, about a 30-minute drive, and outdoor recreation along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers keeps Dr. Justin Felsman busy treating sports and activity-related injuries from Hannibal patients. As a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP), Dr. Felsman brings specialized training to injuries that a general chiropractor typically isn’t trained to evaluate.
Why Hannibal Patients Choose a CCSP-Certified Chiropractor
A Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician has advanced training specifically focused on evaluating and treating injuries related to athletic activity, not just general aches and pains. You can read more about what the CCSP credential actually means and why it matters for active patients.
Care Built Around Getting You Back to Activity
The goal isn’t just pain relief. It’s understanding how an injury happened and getting you back to full activity with less risk of it happening again. That approach applies whether you’re a competitive athlete or someone who just wants to get back outside.
Common Injuries from Hannibal’s Outdoor Recreation
Hannibal’s location along the Mississippi River means a lot of the injuries Dr. Felsman treats trace back to the area’s recreational activities.
River and Trail Activities
Kayaking places repetitive strain on the shoulders and upper back, while biking on uneven trails can lead to falls and joint stress. These activities are a normal part of life in Hannibal, but they come with real injury risk over time.
Seasonal Sports
Softball and volleyball leagues pick up heavily during certain seasons, and overuse injuries tend to follow right along with them. Getting evaluated early, rather than pushing through pain, often means a faster and more complete recovery.
Conditions Dr. Felsman Commonly Treats for Hannibal Patients
- Sports and recreational injuries
