Weightlifting Injuries in St. Petersburg

Ready to Put Weightlifting Injuries Behind You?

At Alliance Regen & Rehab, we specialize in diagnosing and treating weightlifting injuries to get you back under the bar stronger than ever. We go beyond cookie-cutter treatments, offering a personalized approach to uncover the root cause of your pain, restore mobility, and rebuild strength—all while helping you prevent future setbacks.

As an active individual, one of the most frustrating things that can happen is to not be as active as you want.

We get it. Those days without hitting the gym or making it to the box each day – something just feels “off”.

Or maybe you’re stuck cutting reps, avoiding lifts, constantly scaling, or maybe even weeks into a rest break because you’re worried it will make things worse.

Maybe you’ve already tried countless things with no success and you’ve just accepted this is the way it is. But here’s the truth.

We Help Active Adults Conquer Weightlifting Injuries

At Alliance Regen & Rehab, our doctors specialize in helping weightlifters, gym-goers, and crossfitters get out of pain and get back to their WOD’s pain-free. Our doctors are weightlifters themselves and understand how important strength training is to everyone’s health, including their own. Having experienced weightlifting injuries themselves, they know the frustrations and they’ve recognized the lack of great options to guide athletes back to performance. Our team of performance physical therapists and physicians fill the gap that exists in healthcare. 

The gap exists and you’ve probably experienced it…

The fact is, we’re cut from a different cloth and the services we offer are perfect for those who want an active approach that aligns with their active lifestyle.

So, whether you’re a CrossFit athlete grappling with shoulder pain, a powerlifter experiencing low back pain, or simply an avid gym-goer dealing with hip or knee discomfort, our sports medicine team will collaborate with you to develop a customized plan that enables you to return to the gym, lifting weights without pain or limitations.

We do this all without surgeries, without smoke and mirrors, and without unnecessary gimmicks or quick-fix promises—just honest, effective, and transparent care tailored to your unique needs and goals.

How to Get Rid of Lifting Pain Without Medications, Surgery, or Skipping Workouts!

You’re out on your typical run or in the gym doing a set when you’re suddenly blasted with what feels like a lightning bolt of pain. “Oh wow, this really hurts,” you think, “but I’m sure it’ll feel better by tomorrow.”

You go to bed later that night, only to wake up the next morning with the same discomfort. It has been bothering you for some weeks, and you can scarcely raise without feeling discomfort.

You go to the doctor, and they advise you to ice it and rest, and to stop weightlifting because it’s “bad for your body,” and they may even prescribe you anti-inflammatories and pain relievers. You lift even when you don’t want to since it’s what they recommend.

You eventually start to feel a little better, and you’re ready to resume training and lifting. However, once you start getting back into it, the pain returns, leaving you disappointed and unclear of what to do.

This Is the Dangerous Cycle in Which Many People Find Theirselves.

You’re in a lot of pain, so you go to a doctor and follow their advise to rest and cease exercising, and you start to feel better. Unfortunately, you may have lost some strength, muscle mass, conditioning, and so on, and you haven’t done anything to genuinely cure your body’s issues. When it starts to feel better, you try to resume weightlifting, only for the agony to return and the cycle to begin again. This is something that many of my clients have gone through before coming to visit us.

What Makes Us Unique?

When our clients come to visit us, they find that they get a personalised strategy that helps them feel better and healthier at the same time. As a result, when their pain subsides and they resume their regular training, they are able to do so without experiencing any discomfort.

Here Are 7 More Reasons Why Weightlifting Injuries May Be Lasting Longer Than They Should:

1.You expected it to go away on its own, but it didn’t.

2.You went to the doctor, who urged you to rest and take pain relievers, but the medications didn’t help, and as soon as they worn off, the pain returned.

3.A family member or acquaintance told you that everyone experiences pain from weightlifting and that you just have to accept it.

4.In the past, you tried various Healthcare Professionals or a physical therapist, but nothing they said or did appeared to help.

5.You attempted YouTube workouts, but they either didn’t work or worsened your discomfort.

6.You believed it would be a great idea to relax because your pain was so severe, but it only made you feel stiffer and tighter.

7.You opted to get a couple “massages” in the hopes that they would relieve your discomfort, but all they did was make you feel comfortable and relaxed and did nothing to help you in the long run.

If you’ve experienced any of these, we encourage you to schedule a chat with our weightlifting injury specialist to learn more about how we can assist. If you know what doesn’t work, you’ll be that much closer to discovering what does, so it’s good that you’ve tried at least some of these things.

If you’d like to schedule a phone call with us and receive some solid advise, please click the link below to do so. There is zero cost for the call and no commitment to use our services when it ends. Our intention is to assist you in taking the necessary steps forward.

“Dr Brian & Dr John saved my life! I went from barely being able to walk from a herniated disc to moving around with very little pain. I can exercise/walk now and have been able to lose weight now that my body can move. I am now sleeping mostly thru the night. I don’t have to painfully shift from side to side every 30 minutes at night. They also healed my tennis elbows as well. Love these guys- highly recommend. “

“I am to Alliance Regen & Rehab for post-ACL reconstruction surgery physical therapy and had a great experience! Everyone was very helpful and kind, and I was able to make great progress in my rehab with Dr. Brian Broussard. The PT sessions were fun, helpful, and informative. I felt like my progress was supported and important to Dr. Brain. I was sad to leave, but had to move away for college so was not able to fully finish my rehab there. Would definitely recommend!”

“Dr. John Broussard helped me with my bursitis on my hips. I could not lay on either side of my hips before the procedure. I am doing great now. Also I was told by my Orthopedic Surgeon that I needed a hip replacement, I am working with Dr. Broussard currently and doing exercises with my personal trainer so I do not have to have surgery. Still in progress but doing great! “
