Natural Recovery for Pulled Hamstrings in Evansville & Newburgh

If you’ve ever pulled your hamstring—whether during a workout, a quick sprint, or just stepping the wrong way—you know how debilitating it can be. Many people describe it as a sharp, searing pain in the back of the thigh that makes it nearly impossible to walk or bend the knee.

At Lobacz Chiropractic, we offer advanced, drug-free therapies that target the source of the injury, speed up healing, and get you back on your feet. We proudly serve patients in Evansville and Newburgh, Indiana, with cutting-edge care like Class IV Laser Therapy and Shockwave Therapy for muscle injuries like hamstring strains.

What Is a Hamstring Pull?

A hamstring pull, or strain, happens when one or more of the muscles in the back of your thigh stretch too far or tear. These injuries are common in:

• Athletes and runners

• Weekend warriors

• People with poor flexibility or weak glutes

• Anyone who slips or overextends a leg quickly

Symptoms of a Severe Hamstring Injury:

• Sudden pain in the back of the thigh

• Swelling or bruising

• Tightness and limited motion

• Pain when walking, standing, or bending

• Muscle spasms or a popping sensation at the time of injury

If you're dealing with hamstring pain so bad you can’t walk, it’s time to seek professional help—and we’re here to provide it.

How We Help You Heal Faster at Lobacz Chiropractic

Most people are told to rest, ice, and stretch—but that alone often leads to slow healing or repeated injury. At Lobacz Chiropractic, we go further.

Our approach doesn’t just mask the pain—it helps your body heal naturally and effectively, using the most advanced tools in conservative sports injury care.

Class IV Laser Therapy for Muscle Injuries

Laser therapy delivers deep, penetrating light energy to injured tissue, which helps:

• Reduce inflammation and swelling

• Increase blood flow to the muscle

• Speed up the healing process at the cellular level

• Relieve pain without medications

Many patients notice faster recovery with fewer setbacks when laser therapy is part of their treatment plan.

Shockwave Therapy for Chronic or Stubborn Injuries

When a hamstring pull becomes chronic or involves scar tissue, Shockwave Therapy can help break through plateaus. It uses acoustic waves to:

• Break up adhesions and scar tissue

• Improve circulation in damaged muscle

• Stimulate natural healing

• Reduce muscle pain and tightness

We use this in combination with targeted adjustments and rehab for optimal results.

What to Expect at Your Visit

We begin with a full functional assessment—including posture, gait, muscle testing, and history of movement. From there, we create a custom recovery plan that may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore proper pelvic alignment

• Class IV laser sessions

• Focused shockwave treatments

• Soft tissue therapy and guided rehab

• Education on preventing future injuries

Our goal is to help you move pain-free, regain strength, and reduce your risk of another pull in the future.
