Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Chiropractic
Can a chiropractor help with sports injuries?
Yes, chiropractors are well-suited to treat many sports injuries. We address musculoskeletal issues including joint dysfunction, muscle strains, and alignment problems that affect performance and recovery. Many professional sports teams employ chiropractors because of how effective this care is for athletes.
How soon can I return to training after a chiropractic visit?
Most patients can resume light activity the same day. For acute injuries, Dr. Vince will give you specific guidance on when it's safe to return to training and at what intensity. Pushing too hard too soon can delay healing, so we'll work with you to find the right balance between recovery and staying active.
Should I see a chiropractor for injury prevention?
Absolutely. Regular chiropractic maintenance helps identify and correct minor issues before they become major injuries. Athletes who maintain proper alignment and mobility have better performance and fewer injuries. Many athletes visit their chiropractor monthly or before major events as part of their training regimen.
Do you treat running injuries like IT band syndrome or shin splints?
Yes, running injuries are one of our most common sports-related cases. These conditions often stem from biomechanical imbalances in the pelvis, hips, or spine. We address the underlying dysfunction, not just the symptomatic area, which leads to more lasting relief and helps prevent recurrence.
