How Chiropractic May Help

Our chiropractic team is highly experienced in providing customized care for all types of sports injuries. The type of care you receive will vary depending on the type of injury. For example, if the injury has caused the joints or spine to become misaligned, we can perform a manual adjustment of the spine. Dr. Smith also offers spinal decompression to help with herniated discs or other back pain, as well as soft tissue therapies to address muscle damage.

We may also provide corrective exercises and stretches to strengthen and stabilize your body as it heals.

How Many Chiropractic Sessions Are Needed

The number of sessions or time required depends on your specific injury and how it responds to chiropractic care. Dr. Smith will conduct a thorough evaluation and talk with you about your individual care plan and frequency.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?

Chiropractic care is safe, as it does not use any invasive procedures or medications to address sports injuries. If you are considering surgery or other invasive procedures, we highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Smith first. Chiropractic care may provide a long-term solution for sports injuries, without drugs or surgery.
