What is sports chiropractic?
Sports chiropractic is a branch of chiropractic services focused on the assessment and management of sports-related injuries, movement dysfunction, and training-related musculoskeletal issues associated with athletic performance and physical demand.
It may involve a combination of chiropractic techniques, spinal adjustments, gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and exercise-based rehabilitation strategies to support joint mobility, spinal health, and overall physical function.
Treatment is guided by a thorough initial consultation, where your sports chiropractor assesses your symptoms, movement patterns, and contributing factors such as poor posture, load, and training demands.
