Sports Therapy Options for Athletes
We offer a complete spectrum of sports therapy treatments for athletes. Explore our chiropractic and massage therapy services below:
Chiropractic
- Spinal adjustments: The cornerstone of chiropractic care, spinal adjustments involve the application of precise, gentle pressure to correct subluxations (improper positioning/functioning of the vertebrae).
- Extremity adjustments: Contrary to popular belief, the bones of the spine are not the only ones chiropractors can adjust. We also offer extremity adjustments, which is the realignment and rehabilitation of extremities to restore proper function, strength, and range of motion. An extremity adjustment is applicable to any bone not in the spine, including the hips, shoulders, hands, and elbows.
- Therapeutic stretches and exercises: Physical rehabilitation is important for athletes both as a preventive and a curative.
- Diet and nutritional counseling: Athletes need to give their bodies the proper fuel in order to perform at their best. Our chiropractors design personalized nutrition programs.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy eases sore muscles, improves circulation, supports the healing process, and aids in recovery from injuries. It also prevents or reduces scar tissue and adhesions, which is particularly important for athletes recovering from surgery or injury. Some of our massage therapy techniques are as follows:
- Sports massage
- Deep tissue massage
- Trigger point therapy
- Myofascial release
We also offer kinesiology taping, which improves mobility, relieves pain, and speeds recovery.
