Those involved in sports and athletics are particularly damaging to their bodies. They need to consistently practice and routinely use the same muscles over and over again while adding other stressors to every part of the body. Not only that, but oftentimes, the sports played are full of hits, falls, and tackles. 

Sports chiropractic care can actively benefit the body before and after sporting events and during times of training, making sure the body is aligned and balanced and contributing to performance excellence. Chiropractic care is also a welcome addition to the recovering process.

At M2 Chiropractic we see several kinds of athletes: golfers, gymnasts, bowlers, professional frisbee players, hockey players, runners, triathletes- and their pains range from headaches to toe pain and everything in between. 

We will create a chiropractic plan that fits into your schedule and that you can truly benefit from throughout your athletic journey.

Visiting a Chiropractor for My Sports Injury

Sports injuries can not only be very painful, but they can nullify the vast amount of work, practice, and preparation you have put into training for an event. Visiting a sports chiropractor in Allen prior to your performance is a wise choice. Our methods are safe, non-invasive, organic, and can help increase your performance. 

Our office consists of athletes and we know exactly what it takes to be successful at our sport through body maintenance, body balance, and fully functioning body support. We have been certified to work on the PGA circuit and continue our work with golfers today, as well as several other types of athletes. 

Our goal is to reduce pain, prepare the body, work out the kinks, and get the body to work at its very best during a competition, game, or event- proactively. However, we see patients regularly who have been injured during their event and we work on the best and fastest course of action to get those athletes back in the game. 

If you are preparing for an event, we will strive to get you at your peak performance, helping to prevent injury from occurring or reoccurring. Your plan will be specific to your goals and we will work with you to figure out how often you should come in while giving you essential exercises and stretches you can do at home. 

M2 Chiropractic offers sports services to high school players, professional sportspeople, and weekend warriors alike. We will support you through education on body and health wellness, the importance of proactive treatments, and how to properly care for your body as a lifestyle. 

Sports injury-related conditions we treat regularly are: 

• Golfer’s elbow

• Tennis elbow

• Low back pain

• Neck pain

• Knee pain

• Shoulder pain

• IT Band Syndrome

Sports Injury Treatments 

M2 Chiropractic offers several treatments to our sports and athletic patients, being sure to understand the goals and needs of the performer, we will put together a specific plan for each patient. We believe in a natural approach to performance and do not endorse the use of medication that serves only to cover pain, but not fix the cause of the pain. This can contribute to more and greater damage. 

• Chiropractic: usually a controlled, quick adjustment given by hand to a patient’s spinal joint

• Functional Range Conditioning (FRC): a system of mobility and joint control training based on science  

• Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA): a set of seven movement tests for patients experiencing pain, designed to evaluate movement patterns 

• Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Technique: differing handheld instruments used to break down the scar tissue and fascial restrictions in soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons

• Webster Technique: an adjustment that will reduce the effects of sacral subluxation / SI joint dysfunction (requires the doctor to be certified)

• Manual therapy: a series of techniques by hand intended to improve tissue flexibility, increase range of motion, induce relaxation, regulate pain, reduce soft tissue swelling, and more 

• Fascial Distortion Model (FDM): a method of identifying the source of pain and correcting the problem through hands-on deep pressure application 

• RockTape: tape that supports an injured area allowing the muscles to relax helping restore mobility and flexibility (requires the doctor to be certified)

• Cupping: increases blood circulation and offers pain management, usually used in conjunction with other techniques

• Functional exercises/functional rehab exercises: a restorative technique that provides treatment to an injury 

• Specific mobility: a gentle, hands-on approach that only services the necessary vertebrae, usually there is no discomfort involved

• Strengthening exercise: a program put together for the specific patient to ensure maximum strengthening 

Because sports injuries come in so many different forms, adjustments and techniques can’t ever be one-size-fits-all. Spinal manipulation can effectively reduce pain quickly while contributing to the athlete’s mobility and flexibility. However, spinal manipulation is not the only technique we use to get our sportspeople working at their highest levels.

We cater to extremely competitive sports players and athletes and work with each one to determine how to best help their performance and minimize the stress that competing puts on the body and mind. 

Our Allen chiropractic office and our Addison chiropractic office both offer the techniques that will thoroughly fulfill your needs and our team is educated in keeping you safe with plans that include at-home exercises and wellness ideas to support you through your event and through your life. 

Don’t let medications and invasive treatments get in the way of your smart, natural active lifestyle. When you come to see us for your sports injury treatment or your competition preparation, you’ll receive the benefits of a hands-on team that knows what you need to get your body in balance, highly efficient, and healed through consistent, reliable techniques. Gaining a natural increase in performance is key to your success.
