Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I return to my sport?

Recovery time varies based on your injury type and severity. Minor strains may improve within 1-2 weeks, while more significant injuries like ligament damage may take 6-12 weeks. We create progressive return-to-sport protocols that safely build your capacity without risking re-injury. Many patients notice significant improvement within the first 2-3 treatment sessions.

Can you help with chronic or nagging injuries?

Absolutely. Chronic sports injuries often result from underlying biomechanical issues, muscle imbalances, or incomplete healing from previous injuries. We identify the root cause and address it comprehensively. Our cold laser therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendinitis, ligament issues, and persistent inflammation that hasn't responded to other treatments.

Do you work with athletes during their competitive season?

Yes! We understand you can't always take time off from competition. We provide in-season injury management focused on keeping you active while promoting healing. Our treatments are designed to reduce pain and improve function without requiring extended rest periods, though we'll always be honest if time off is necessary for proper recovery.

Can you help improve my athletic performance, even without injury?

Definitely. Many athletes come to us for performance enhancement, not just injury treatment. Optimizing your spine and joint function, addressing muscle imbalances, improving flexibility and mobility, and ensuring proper biomechanics can all enhance your power, speed, and endurance. Regular chiropractic care is used by professional athletes worldwide as part of their training regimen.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring any relevant medical records, imaging results (X-rays, MRI, ultrasound), a list of current medications or supplements, and information about your training schedule and goals. Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows us to assess your movement patterns. If you have custom orthotics or braces, bring those as well.

Do you provide treatment plans for specific sporting events?

Yes! Whether you're training for a marathon, preparing for hockey playoffs, or working toward a golf tournament, we can create a treatment and prevention plan aligned with your event timeline. We help you peak at the right time while minimizing injury risk during intensive training periods.

Will my insurance cover sports injury treatment?

Most extended health insurance plans cover chiropractic care, acupuncture, and custom orthotics. We provide direct billing for your convenience and can provide receipts for you to submit to your insurance company. Contact us at (519) 442-7100 to discuss your specific coverage.
