Our Methodology

We start with an initial evaluation, which includes a functional movement screening with additional sports specific biomechanical tests to address structural alignment, deficits in range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility, and proper form.

We combine chiropractic care, massage therapy and corrective exercise to speed up improvement and prevent future reoccurrence of injury. These methods allow for a faster recovery and pain reduction to allow our athletes to continue to train and compete (if safely possible).

Concussion Care

Sports chiropractic care in the weeks following a concussive injury can reduce symptoms and speed up the return to play.

A concussion occurs when an athlete receives a traumatic blow to the head, neck or body, changing the way the brain functions. A concussion can also cause a whiplash-type of injury to the neck. The term “whiplash” refers to a sprain/strain injury or tearing to the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the neck, causing a loss of normal function in the spine. When not evaluated and treated, an injury to the head and neck can have life-long effects.

Chiropractic care increases the performance of the nervous system and when combined with active exercise/rehabilitation is a favorable way to treat athletes with post-concussive syndrome – especially when symptoms last for a month or longer. Combining chiropractic care with standard concussion protocol can give your athlete the most effective method for returning the head and neck to a proper level of function thus ensuring a full, quick recovery.
