What is Sports Chiropractic?
Sports chiropractic combines spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, and movement analysis to treat and prevent athletic injuries. Unlike general chiropractic care that primarily addresses pain, sports chiropractors analyze how your entire kinetic chain functions during sport-specific movements.
Treatment addresses joint restrictions, muscle imbalances, and faulty movement patterns simultaneously. Spinal adjustments restore proper joint mechanics. Soft tissue techniques like Active Release Technique and Graston break down adhesions limiting muscle function. Movement retraining teaches your nervous system efficient patterns that reduce injury risk.
The goal isn't just pain relief. It's optimizing how you move so you can train harder, compete better, and recover faster. Contact Integra Health to discover how sports chiropractic enhances your athletic performance.
Advantages of Sports Chiropractic With Integra Health
Sports chiropractic offers distinct benefits that traditional medical approaches often miss. Our comprehensive care model addresses the underlying mechanical problems affecting your performance.
Faster Return to Activity
Most treatment protocols follow outdated timelines based on tissue healing rates. We use functional assessments to determine when you’re truly ready to return, often getting athletes back to competition weeks earlier than conventional recommendations while reducing re-injury risk.
Performance Enhancement
Optimal joint mechanics improve power output and efficiency. Athletes consistently report improved performance metrics after addressing previously undetected movement restrictions.
Injury Prevention
Regular sports chiropractic care identifies dysfunction before it causes injury. Addressing minor imbalances prevents the major breakdowns that end seasons.
No Medication Required
We restore function through manual therapy and movement correction, eliminating the need for pain medications that mask symptoms without fixing problems.

We educate you on the specific dysfunctions affecting your performance and provide the tools to maintain optimal function between visits.

Sports Chiropractic FAQs for Hawthorne Athletes
Is sports chiropractic only for professional athletes?+
No. We treat active individuals of all levels, from high school varsity players to weekend joggers and recreational golfers. If you move your body and want to perform better, this care is for you.
Do I have to stop training while I get treated?+
Not always. Our goal is to keep you active. We often modify your training rather than stopping it completely. We call this “active recovery,” allowing you to maintain fitness while the injury heals.
Can chiropractic help prevent injuries?+
Absolutely. By correcting muscle imbalances and joint restrictions before they become painful, we help your body handle the load of training more efficiently, significantly reducing the risk of non-contact injuries.
Do you treat ankle sprains?+
Yes. Ankle sprains are one of the most common sports injuries we see. We adjust the ankle bones to restore alignment and use therapy to reduce swelling and strengthen the ligaments to prevent chronic instability.
Will my insurance cover sports chiropractic?+
Integra Health accepts many major insurance plans. While “performance care” is sometimes elective, care for a specific injury is often covered. We will perform a complimentary benefits check in our Hawthorne office to help you understand your options.
How is this different from physical therapy?+
We often blend the best of both worlds. While we focus heavily on the structural alignment of the joints (chiropractic), we also prescribe corrective exercises and rehab (physical therapy principles) for a complete recovery solution.
