What does a sports chiropractor do?

Sports chiropractic treatment includes a combination of methods such as spinal and joint adjustments, soft tissue therapies, electrotherapy, rehabilitation exercises, movement correction, and strapping or bracing. These approaches support injury recovery, help prevent future issues, and promote peak physical performance. Some common treatments include:

  • Active Release Technique

    ART is a hands-on treatment that targets tight or overworked areas in your muscles and soft tissues, often caused by training load or repetitive movement. It helps release tension, improve mobility, and support healthy movement patterns for sport and daily life.

  • Close-up of a person receiving an acupuncture treatment with a fine needle being inserted into their skin.

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling targets knots and trigger points in your muscles to reduce pain and tension. It works deep into the muscle to improve function, ease tightness, and support recovery from sport-related strain and overuse.

  • A person receiving a chiropractic adjustment or massage on their upper back by a practitioner.

    Chiropractic Adjustments

    Chiropractic adjustments use precise, gentle movements to restore natural joint and spinal motion. This helps reduce pain, improve flexibility, and support better overall function, especially during training and active movement.

  • Medical professional using an ultrasound device on a patient's leg.

    Myofascial Scraping

    This technique boosts blood flow, breaks down tough muscle adhesions, and helps you move with more ease. It improves flexibility and muscle length, supporting better performance and long-term muscle health.

  • A person performing cupping therapy with glass cups on a patient's back.

    Myofascial Cupping

    Cupping uses light suction to increase circulation, speed up tissue recovery, and restore normal movement. It pairs well with sports chiropractic to reduce tightness, boost mobility, and support healing from training load.

  • Person stretching with resistance band in a gym.

    Exercise Rehab

    Exercise rehab improves the way you move during sport and daily life. By strengthening key areas and correcting imbalances, it helps prevent injury, supports recovery, and builds a stronger foundation for performance.
