The Athlete’s First Aid Kit
When you live an active life, you’re sure to experience a few aches and pains, such as knee pain, low back pain, joint pain, or shoulder pain. Unfortunately, over the years, we have seen a dramatic increase in sports injuries. More than 10 million sports injuries are treated yearly in the United States alone.

How Sports Injury Rehabilitation Works
We all have specific biomechanical attributes. Some are fixed and unchangeable. However, some of these attributes can be affected positively to increase the body’s capacity for athletic performance.
We start with an examination and functional assessment of movement patterns utilizing chiropractic, neurological, and orthopedic measurements to help find the source of your pain and help us determine an individual treatment program. We will then personally design and guide you through a custom rehabilitation or fitness program. These specialized exercises are essential in injury prevention, sports conditioning, and injury rehabilitation.
You will not only win with decreased pain but an improvement in balance, coordination, strength, stability, range of motion, and endurance to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Our focus will be on muscular imbalances, faulty neuromuscular coordination, inadequate ligament or tendon strength, inadequate muscle or cardiovascular endurance, inadequate muscle bulk, problems with flexibility, and problems related to body composition. Using validated clinical techniques, we can isolate those mechanical variables we can affect. Then utilizing the correct mix of state-of-the-art science, hands-on clinical treatment, functional stretching, and specific exercises, we will enhance your ability to perform your sport or athletic physical activity with improved technique, more power, and reduced risk of injury. So, invest in your body instead of investing in new equipment that may compensate for biomechanical deficiencies. You won’t regret it!
