It’s no surprise that athletes value chiropractors as much as they do a trainer, coach, or even their teammates. After all, the work chiropractors perform help an athletic body remain in top shape.
Our services go much further than helping athletes in perfect condition. A sports injury chiropractor will help you work toward a quick and sound recovery.

Dealing with a sports injury
Whether you’re a professional athlete or partake in sports to maintain your health, an injury can be a significant setback. Not only do injuries interfere with your ability to participate in physical activities, but they can also have a massive impact on your status of everyday living.
Chiropractors that specialize in sports medicine help you deal with the more common sports injuries and more. No matter what you’re dealing with, we’re here to help.
Chiropractic care is available for multiple sports injuries, including:
- Joint injuries
- Swollen muscles
- Sprains
- Shin splints
Although many athletes take pride in being able to tough it out and work through the pain, that’s not always a good thing. Getting exercise certainly helps you recover, but you are likely to exacerbate the problem without advice and treatments from a trained professional.
We understand that it can be scary. The fear of being laid up for a few weeks means you are letting your teammates down and might even lose a part of your income. But setting up an appointment sooner than later prevents the risk of worsening the injury and gets you one step closer to returning to doing what you love.
What can I expect during treatments?
Because the conditions and severity of sports injuries vary, it’s hard to tell you precisely what to expect. After diagnosis, treatments may include a series of conservative adjustments, massage therapy sessions, and hot and cold therapies.
These are just a few of the things you can expect You can rest easy knowing that all of our practices, including these, are non-invasive, nor will we expect you to begin taking painkillers or other medications that can cause more complications to your ability to return to your sport of choice.
And while there is a chance that you may not be able to maintain working out or competing as you usually do, our staff doesn’t expect you to halt athletics entirely. We encourage keeping proper exercise and sticking to a healthy diet to help alleviate pain and aid the recovery process. You can train around the pain and not through the pain.
Furthermore, once we know more about your condition, diet, sports that you play, we can help you set up a routine that suits your needs. Again, it might not be as intensive as what you’re used to, but it will help you stay active until things can return to normal.
