Shoulder pain shouldn't be considered a normal part of playing baseball or softball.

If your athlete is experiencing arm fatigue earlier in games, changes in throwing mechanics, loss of velocity, or shoulder pain that lingers after practices or tournaments, it's time to pay attention. Early recognition and intervention can make all the difference in keeping young athletes healthy and doing what they love.

We recently shared a new blog covering:
⚾ Common causes of shoulder pain in youth throwers
🥎 Warning signs parents shouldn't ignore
💪 Tips to reduce injury risk throughout the season
🧊 Recovery strategies for busy tournament schedules

And if you're looking for practical, hands-on guidance, join us for our upcoming Youth Throwers Workshop: Healthy Shoulders for Baseball & Softball Athletes. Designed for athletes ages 8–18, this workshop will cover arm care, warm-up strategies, strength and mobility exercises, and how to build healthy shoulders that last beyond this season.

Because the goal isn't just getting through this season. It's helping young athletes stay healthy enough to enjoy the game for years to come.

⛳️Golf season is in full swing here!

Before you dust off the clubs and head to the first tee, take a few minutes to prepare your body for the demands of the golf swing. Tight hips, a stiff mid-back, and limited rotation can all impact your game and leave you feeling sore after your round.

Dr. Kenton put together 7 simple stretches designed to improve mobility, enhance rotation, and help you start the season feeling your best.

Your scorecard might not thank us... but your body will.

Most injuries don’t happen because you’re training.
They happen because your body can’t keep up with the demands you’re putting on it.

You don’t always need rest.
You might need:
✔️ better movement
✔️ better recovery
✔️ better programming
✔️ better load management

At Ames Spine & Sport, we help athletes and active adults stay in the game with chiropractic, sports acupuncture, rehab, and recovery-focused care built around performance — not just pain relief.

Train smarter. Recover better. Keep moving. 💪

Thank you for an incredible 8 years. We’re just getting started. 💪

05/30/2026

8 years ago, Dr. Jessi opened Ames Spine & Sport with a treatment table, a vision, and a passion for helping people stay active doing what they love.

As a former Army medic, fitness trainer, educator, competitive bodybuilder, and athlete herself, she saw too many people being told to simply stop training, stop lifting, or “just live with it.” She knew there had to be a better approach.

That passion led to the creation of Ames Spine & Sport, a place focused on movement, recovery, performance, and helping people stay functional in the activities they love most.

Over the years, what started as one provider with a dream has grown into an incredible team that shares that same mission every single day. Together, we’ve had the privilege of helping athletes return to sport, runners cross finish lines, moms feel like themselves again, kids recover from injuries, and active adults keep doing what they love without feeling held back by pain.

From the beginning, this office was built on real and lasting results, relationships, trust, community, and truly listening to people.

And next week… we celebrate 8 YEARS. 🎉

To celebrate, we’re doing our BIGGEST giveaway yet 👀

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our amazing moms and soon-to-be moms 💐

From surviving sports schedules and carrying 14 bags at once to growing tiny humans while still trying to get workouts in… Moms are honestly just built different.

You’re the real athletes.
Strong, tough, adaptable, and somehow still functioning on very little sleep and mostly caffeine (not me over here sipping my 2nd coffee of the morning 🤪).

Hope today includes a real good coffee (or 2), a killer nap, and at least one meal you didn’t have to reheat three times ❤️
