Common Sports-Related Issues We Help With
Sports chiropractic is effective for a wide range of athletic conditions, including:
- Acute injuries: Sprains, strains, muscle pulls, joint restrictions
- Chronic pain: Lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff issues
- Overuse conditions: Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, runner’s knee, shin splints, plantar fasciitis
- Performance limitations: Reduced mobility, poor biomechanics, decreased power or speed
- Post-injury recovery: After concussions, ankle sprains, knee issues, or surgery
- Prevention: Pre-season screenings, maintenance care to reduce injury risk
These problems often stem from spinal misalignments, joint dysfunction, muscle imbalances, or poor movement patterns—issues that chiropractic care addresses directly.
How Sports Chiropractic Helps Athletes
Our approach is active, personalized, and performance-oriented.
- Comprehensive Athletic Assessment: Utilizing the Functional Movement Screen allows Dr. Brumbaugh to identify and correct faulty movement patterns that can lead to injury.
- Gentle Adjustments & Mobilizations: Precise, low-force corrections to the spine, extremities, and pelvis to restore proper joint function and nerve communication.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Myofascial release, instrument-assisted techniques, cupping, dry needling, active stretching, and massage to reduce muscle tension and scar tissue.
- Rehabilitation & Performance Exercises: Customized stretches, strengthening, stability drills, and sport-specific drills to improve biomechanics and prevent re-injury.
- Quick & Effective Sessions: Treatments are efficient—many athletes notice immediate improvements in range of motion, pain levels, and performance.
Regular sports chiropractic care helps maintain peak alignment, enhances recovery, and keeps you competing at your best.
