Chiropractic care has received much attention in regard to its successful management of sporting injuries. Because the majority of sports injuries involve soft tissue, and many arise from improper body biomechanics and improper sporting techniques, chiropractors have become the doctors of choice for the weekend warrior, as well as the professional athlete.

            Chiropractic care, through the use of safe and natural spinal adjustive techniques, physiotherapy applications, soft tissue mobilization, stretching and exercise programs, diet and nutritional counseling, and extensive biomechanical training, focuses on all causes which have led to the symptoms of pain and tissue injury and do not focus on solely eliminating pain.

            Successful treatments must focus not only on pain relief, but must address the underlying causes such as muscular imbalances, biomechanical deficiencies and both improper sporting techniques and conditioning.
