Helping You Stay Active
Whether you're a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or simply enjoy staying active, injuries don't have to keep you on the sidelines.
Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your health—but sports and exercise also place unique demands on the body. Repetitive movements, overuse, sudden injuries, and muscle imbalances can all contribute to pain that limits your ability to train, compete, or simply enjoy the activities you love.
At City Point Chiropractic, we care for athletes and active individuals of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're preparing for your next race, recovering from an injury, or simply trying to stay active without pain, our goal is to help you move better and return to activity safely.
We commonly care for athletes participating in:
- Running
- OrangeTheory Fitness
- F3 Workouts
- CrossFit
- Weightlifting
- Golf
- Tennis & Pickleball
- Baseball & Softball
- Football
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- Cycling
- Hiking
- General fitness and recreational activities
Common conditions we evaluate include muscle strains, tendonitis, ligament injuries, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, shin splints, and other overuse or sports-related injuries.
Finding the Cause of the Injury
Successful recovery starts with understanding why the injury occurred—not simply treating where it hurts.
Many sports injuries develop gradually over time as the result of repetitive stress, movement compensations, mobility restrictions, or muscle imbalances. Others occur suddenly from falls, awkward movements, or direct impact.
Your evaluation begins with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, training history, previous injuries, activity level, and personal goals. We then perform a comprehensive examination to evaluate how your entire body moves—not just the injured area.
Depending on your condition, we may assess:
- Joint mobility
- Muscle strength
- Flexibility
- Functional movement
- Balance and stability
- Running or walking mechanics
- Sport-specific movement patterns
- Movement asymmetries
Our goal is not simply to reduce pain, but to identify the underlying mechanical factors contributing to your injury and help reduce the likelihood of future setbacks.
Our Assessment & Treatment Approach
Every treatment plan is designed around your injury, your sport, and your goals for returning to activity.
Depending on your diagnosis and examination findings, treatment may include a combination of:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Specific chiropractic adjustments help restore healthy joint motion throughout the spine and extremities, improving mobility and reducing mechanical stress during activity.
Extremity Adjustments
Chiropractic care isn't limited to the spine. We commonly evaluate and treat shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet to improve joint function and movement.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue techniques help reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and address restrictions within muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues that commonly develop following injury.
Dry Needling
When appropriate, dry needling may be incorporated to reduce muscular trigger points, improve tissue mobility, decrease pain, and promote more efficient movement during recovery.
Movement-Based Rehabilitation
Exercise is an essential part of long-term recovery. We prescribe individualized rehabilitation programs designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, stability, and movement quality while helping reduce the risk of reinjury.
Return-to-Activity Planning
Our goal isn't simply to help you feel better while sitting still—we want to help you confidently return to the activities you enjoy. As your symptoms improve, we'll progress your treatment plan and home exercises to support a safe and successful return to exercise, sports, work, and everyday life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from athletes and active individuals.
Do I have to stop exercising while I'm being treated?
Not always. Many patients are able to continue exercising with temporary modifications to their activity. We'll discuss which movements are appropriate, which should be limited, and how to safely progress back to full participation based on your injury and recovery.
Can chiropractic care improve athletic performance?
While our primary goal is to treat pain and injury, healthy joint mobility, efficient movement patterns, and improved flexibility may help support overall movement quality and athletic performance.
Do you only treat competitive athletes?
Not at all. Whether you're training for a marathon, playing recreational pickleball, attending OrangeTheory or F3, lifting weights, or simply trying to stay active, our treatment plans are designed around your individual goals and activity level.
How long will recovery take?
Every injury is different. Recovery depends on the type of injury, how long you've had symptoms, your activity level, and your body's response to treatment. After your evaluation, we'll discuss our findings, treatment recommendations, and realistic expectations for recovery.
