Sports medicine clinic in Sterling, VA

A sports medicine clinic evaluates and treats injuries that come from training, competition, and active living. At Active Lifestyle Medical in Sterling, Dr. Charles Arndt combines chiropractic care, rehab exercise, and hands-on therapy to treat sprains, strains, and overuse injuries without surgery. The goal is simple: find what is injured, fix the mechanics behind it, and return you to play safely.

Sterling is an active place. Youth travel teams fill the fields at Claude Moore Park, runners and cyclists log miles on the W&OD Trail, and golfers from Lansdowne to Lowes Island play deep into fall. All of that activity is good for you, right up until a rolled ankle, a sore shoulder, or a stubborn case of tendonitis takes you out of the game.

That is where our sports medicine clinic comes in. Dr. Charles Arndt has spent more than 20 years treating the mechanics behind sports injuries, not just the sore spot itself. A knee that aches on every run often traces back to how the hip and foot are moving. A throwing shoulder that will not settle down usually involves the mid-back as much as the joint. Care at our Sterling sports and spine clinic starts with a full evaluation of how you move, then builds a plan that treats the actual cause.

Most of the athletes we see want two things: honest answers and a clear path back to their sport. You will get both. If rest alone would fix it, we say so. If the injury needs structured care, we lay out the plan and the timeline before you commit to anything.
