Sports Chiropractic Care
Sports chiropractic is a specialty of chiropractic. It generally requires post-graduate coursework and a certification or diplomate status granted by a credentialing agency** recognized in a practitioner's region. Assessment and diagnosis of sports-related injuries by a sports chiropractor involves a physical exam and sometimes imaging studies. Treatment is described as noninvasive and can include joint manipulations as well as recommendations for exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility and range of motion.
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on the relationship between the body's structures- mainly the spine and its functioning. D.D. Palmer founded chiropractic in 1890's and called it “a science of healing without drugs” Chiropractic practitioners may utilize different methods and techniques to provide chiropractic care to patients. Chiropractors primarily perform adjustments (manipulations) to the spine or other parts of the body with the goal of correcting alignment problems, alleviating pain, improving function, and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself.*
There are many approaches and techniques in terms of chiropractic care, In our office we believe that human body is more than just the sum of body parts. In fact, our body is conscious, self-developing, self-maintaining and self-healing, guided by a specific intelligence imbued in our body to adapt and response to the environment around us. This process is also know as homeostasis. When our body is unable to adapt to changes, problem rises.

What Does research say about chiropractic Care?
"For patients with chronic low back pain, clinicians and patients should initially select nonpharmacologic treatment with exercise, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, acupuncture, mindfulness-based stress reduction (moderate-quality evidence), tai chi, yoga, motor control exercise, progressive relaxation, electromyography biofeedback, low-level laser therapy, operant therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or spinal manipulation (low-quality evidence)."
American College of Physicians (2017)
“[Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy] in conjunction with [standard medical care] offers a significant advantage for decreasing pain and improving physical functioning when compared with only standard care, for men and women between 18 and 35 years of age with acute low back pain."
Goertz et al. (2013), Spine
The results of a clinical trial showed that chiropractic care combined with usual medical care for low back pain provides greater pain relief and a greater reduction in disability than medical care alone. The study, which featured 750 active-duty members of the military, is one of the largest comparative effectiveness trials between usual medical care and chiropractic care ever conducted.
