Chiropractic Care and Athletic Performance
Athletes at every level, from weekend warriors to professionals, are increasingly turning to chiropractic care for both injury treatment and performance optimization. At Citrin Chiropractic Center, Dr. Rutherford brings a personal understanding of athletic injuries as a former competitive baseball player who was drafted by a professional team.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Our doctors regularly treat sprains and strains, joint injuries, back and neck pain from athletic activities, shoulder injuries, knee problems, and repetitive stress injuries. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint alignment, reduce nerve interference, and allow the body to heal naturally without relying on medication.
Recovery and Prevention
Beyond treating acute injuries, chiropractic care helps athletes maintain optimal spinal alignment, improve range of motion, and prevent future injuries. Regular adjustments keep the musculoskeletal system functioning at its best, which translates directly to better athletic performance.
K-Taping for Athletes
We also offer kinesiology taping, which provides continuous muscle and joint support during activity. K-tape lifts the skin to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and provide proprioceptive feedback that helps prevent re-injury during training and competition.
Whether you are recovering from a sports injury or looking to optimize your performance, call us at (314) 890-2400.
