Sports Injuries

At Summit Chiropractic and Wellness Center we utilize cutting edge, research driven tools to get you back to competing on the field and in life at a high level. We help our athletes accomplish their specific goals by offering rehabilitative services that accelerate the healing process to restore proper function. The care we offer at the clinic is beyond symptom relief. We want to ensure that any injured areas are restored to their optimal level of function to prevent chronic reoccurrence. We work closely with local physical therapists, athletic trainers, and sports orthopedic doctors to ensure you get the care you need.

Chiropractors work with optimizing the function of the nervous system. The nervous system’s primary function is to heal the body. By restoring proper nervous system function the body is better able to heal itself. A better connection between the brain and body will improve reaction times, proprioception, and overall coordination.

According to Sean Atkins, Ph.D. Exercise Physiologist, “It is estimated that 90% of world class athletes utilize chiropractic care on a regular basis to prevent injuries and to improve their performance”.
