Chiropractic Care for Sports Injuries and Performance

 We Can Help Your Sports InjuryWe have three categories of chiropractic care for sports injuries:

Acute care for athletes who can pinpoint the details of pain from a specific sports injury (the location of the pain and when it occurred). We’ll ice the area, rest it, and use necessary chiropractic adjustments to reduce pain and prevent it from getting worse.

Preventative care for athletes or weekend warriors who want to keep their body’s proper alignment, ensure the joints don’t lock up and optimize performance in sports activities. We do chiropractic adjustments and exercises that take place on a semi-regular schedule.

Old injury care for sports injuries that were not (or were never) treated properly previously. We recommend that you consult a medical professional first to check up on your old injuries and health condition. We will then assess the misalignments in your body and will recommend a chiropractic plan based on your health history, condition, and assessment results.
Contact us for any additional questions about current injuries or injury prevention.

​Our office also offers the additional benefits of shock way therapy for acute and chronic soft tissue injuries.

HOW DOES IT WORK?The high energetic acoustic waves initiate your body’s own healing response to injury, whether acute or chronic. Over the course of treatments dormant stem cells in the body are recruited to the area of injury to decrease pain and inflammation. We can use Wave Therapy to treat chronic pain anywhere in the body, acute injuries such as strains and fractures, tendinitis, and wounds/scars.
This Means
  • Restoring pain-free activity without drugs
  • Faster post-surgical recovery
  • Turning back the clock on your joint(s) wear and tear
Success Rates
  • More than 80% of patients report a 10-20% improvement after just one treatment.
  • Final outcome depends on many factors, but most patients report a healing rate of 60-80%+ after a full course of treatment.
  • Depending on your particular condition, you will likely be scheduled for 6-10+ treatment sessions.
  • An average of 6-10 treatment sessions are needed to achieve targeted healing rate.
