Why Our Patients Visit Us
When we overuse our muscles or joints for sports or exercise, pain is often the product. But how do you continue your favorite hobbies or remain on your team if you’re constantly in pain? The truth is, living that way won’t last long. Your pain will become more severe and may even spread to other areas.
Depending on your physical activity, a chiropractor may be a smart decision on an ongoing basis. If you are often hit or tackled, for instance, working with a chiropractor to increase strength, keep balance, and decompress will help you perform better and get your body trained to support you.
Our sports chiropractors are here to exceed your expectations. We want you to do more than enjoy your activities but truly succeed at them. Whatever your fitness goals are, we aim to get you there, then surpass them. We won’t let pain stand in the way of your victories.
Many of our athletic patients come into one of our four chiropractic offices because they are experiencing one or more of the following conditions:
- Hip, leg, shoulder, or back pain
- Loss of range of motion
- Sore or stiff muscles or joints
- Shin splints
- Golfer’s elbow
- Mobility pain
- Hamstring sprains
- Strains
- Sore muscles

- Body fatigue
- Repetitive movement
- Forceful impacts

How Will a Chiropractor Treat My Sports Injury?

We will work to find responsible solutions to your care through non-intrusive chiropractic treatment, never promoting the use of masking pain medication. No matter the severity of your injury or pain, we will support you in body, mind, and spirit so you can accomplish what you’re setting out to achieve.
We will thoroughly discuss your needs and create a wellness plan that can be utilized well beyond our in-office meetings. With the proper stretching and exercise techniques, you will have the tools to keep your body functioning at its prime.
To get your body where you want it, we will provide chiropractic care and rehabilitation techniques for the quickest, smartest approach to your wellbeing.
Some of our most common treatments include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to spine
- Selective Functional Movement Assessment
- Kinesiology Taping
- Cupping
- Functional rehabilitation exercises and stretches
Chiropractic adjustments for your sport injury
Adjustments are commonly thought of as spinal treatment; however, we can also adjust joints in the feet, wrists, elbows, and other extremities. If you are in pain due to overuse or an injury acquired while training, we may be able to fix the problem with a quick, controlled, manual thrust to the affected area, stabilizing balance and symmetry and responsibly getting your body back to its best self.
Kinesiology Taping for your sports injury
Applying Kinesiology Tape to an injured area allows for better blood flow and oxygen to sore, overworked, or injured muscles. It decreases pain while it increases mobility and flexibility.
Rehabilitation and therapeutic exercises and stretches
We will work with you on the best exercises and stretches for your ability and goals. You’ll learn the correct ways to perform this part of your program so you can utilize the benefits at home and while not in our immediate care. We believe that these proactive measures will allow you to strengthen your body and keep you from further injury.
Every service we offer is safe and natural but also effective. We want you to feel confident that your body will not only withstand the pressure it’s put under during your event but will excel throughout. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a consistent stair-user, a skier, hiker, climber, gym-goer, or anything in between, we want to help you out-perform your physical goals.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I can't say enough great things about all the staff, they're friendly, polite, engaging and very professional and the atmosphere is clean and bright. Welcoming.
My personal experience is with Dr Mike Smith and Lawrence for movement therapy. They are both simply amazing and I appreciate them both. I personally have many challenges in working out & performing PT. They are both very good at helping me work around these personal challenges. Everyone is very motivating and helps make me want to be stronger & healthier in general (not just to help with a recovery).
And shout out to their amazing MLS laser therapy and amazing laser tech! Wow, that thing is amazing. It helps with pain almost immediately and it helps speed my recovery in only 6-10 minute quick treatment sessions. I know, huh. "Laser-Beam"... Lol
Pure magic.
Don't hesitate to give them the opportunity to help you.
Again, highly recommended.
They are both very personable, and show genuine care and concern for their clients. That, coupled with their attention to detail and thoroughness not only made my treatment successful, but also very enjoyable.
Cannot recommend them enough.
