Call us today if you have injured yourself playing sports and need some relief from the pain or discomfort. 

What is Sports Therapy? 

Sports therapy focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to physical activity and athletics. Through hands-on care, movement assessments, and customized treatment plans, we can address the root cause of pain and help restore strength, mobility, and function. 

When people think of chiropractic adjustments, they may only think of the spine, back, and neck. However, Dr. Simmonds at Elevate Wellness can also adjust the feet, knees, elbows, wrists, and shoulders to help athletes heal from many different injuries.

Common Conditions We Treat 

Our sports therapy and chiropractic can help with:

• Muscle strains and sprains
• Sports-related back, neck, and joint pain
• Tendonitis and overuse injuries
• Shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee pain
• Concussion support and recovery
• Postural imbalances

Benefits of Sports Therapy 

Chiropractic care provides many benefits to athletes, including:

Joint and Spine Alignment — Sports therapy can help undo the wear and tear the body sustains during all types of sports and activities. Regular visits help keep the spine and other joints in line, the body firing on all cylinders, and you in the game all season long. 

Decreased Pain — Misalignments in the spine and extremities can cause pain, increase stress on joints, alter biomechanics, and predispose the body to more serious injury. Through targeted adjustments, chiropractic care can significantly reduce pain, inflammation, and discomfort and restore normal function, even more than other medical interventions. 

Injury Prevention and Peak Performance — Studies show that athletes who utilize chiropractic and sports therapy have fewer injuries and better performance. Many serious injuries in sports result from altered biomechanics due to misalignments in the joints. 

Extremity Adjustments — Chiropractors are known to treat the spine and neck, but they can also fix misalignments in your ankles, shoulders, wrists, elbows, and knees.  By aligning these joints, we can help the body heal quickly and more completely and improve your overall range of motion. 

Non-Invasive Drug Treatment — Chiropractic is non-invasive, meaning we can restore the natural position and alignment of a joint without surgery and allow the body to heal itself without the need for drugs or medicine. This approach also helps the body heal more quickly.
