Sports Injury Care and Prevention at Alternative Family Medicine

At Alternative Family Medicine, we understand how much your sports and activities mean to you. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a seasoned triathlete, or just beginning a new fitness journey, our mission is to keep you moving at your best. Our approach isn’t just about treating injuries; it’s about helping you prevent them while optimizing recovery and enhancing your overall performance. With a comprehensive focus on your well-being, we aim to empower you to reach new heights in your athletic pursuits.

A Holistic Approach to Care

Our philosophy goes beyond surface-level treatments. We treat the whole person, addressing everything from structural alignment and muscle balance to movement patterns and nutrition. From CrossFit enthusiasts to competitive cyclists, we create personalized treatments tailored to your specific needs and level of activity. Our commitment is to provide care that not only supports recovery but also fosters sustainable, injury-free performance.

Chiropractic Services We Provide

Our chiropractic care services are designed to target various aspects of your body’s performance and recovery. Here are the specialized services we offer:

  • Diversified Adjusting: Precise spinal and joint adjustments to restore proper alignment and function.
  • Graston Technique: Advanced soft tissue therapy to address scar tissue and fascial restrictions, improving mobility and reducing pain.
  • Dry Needling: A targeted technique to relieve muscle tightness, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility.
  • Corrective Exercises: Customized exercises aimed at strengthening and stabilizing your body to prevent future injuries.
  • Custom Orthotics: Personalized foot support designed to optimize mechanics and improve overall alignment.
  • Taping (Kinesiotaping): Specialized taping methods to provide support and reduce strain on injured areas while promoting healing.

Each of these services is carefully chosen based on your unique needs to ensure effective, long-lasting results.

The Importance of Structural Alignment

Proper structural alignment is the foundation of optimal athletic performance. Misalignments or muscular imbalances can lead to inefficient movement, unnecessary strain, and a higher risk of injuries. For instance:

  • Compensating for an old injury or dealing with asymmetrical flexibility can cause inefficient movements that demand more energy while producing less power.
  • Misfiring muscle groups may result in common injuries like IT Band Syndrome or knee pain, interrupting your training and overall performance.

These challenges don’t have to hold you back. By combining our treatments with targeted corrective exercises, we help restore balance and efficiency to your movements, reducing injury risk and enhancing performance.

Functional Nutrition for Athletic Excellence

Nutrition is a critical pillar of recovery, injury prevention, and athletic performance. Even athletes with disciplined diets may face issues such as nutrient absorption problems or unrecognized food sensitivities that impact their progress. At Alternative Family Medicine, we take a personalized approach to your nutrition by evaluating your blood work, food sensitivity results, and hormone levels. This allows us to:

  • Identify nutrient deficiencies that may be affecting your energy levels and recovery.
  • Detect food sensitivities that could be causing inflammation, fatigue, or other setbacks.
  • Create tailored dietary and supplementation plans to address your specific needs and support peak performance.

Our expertise in Functional Blood Chemistry ensures that your care is precise and individualized, helping you achieve your goals without relying on generalized standards. After all, your body is unique, and your care should reflect that.
