What is Chiropractic Care versus Sports Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing neuromusculoskeletal disorders, primarily through manual adjustments or manipulations of the spine and other joints. The goal is to improve overall health and well-being by restoring proper alignment and function to the musculoskeletal system.

On the other hand, sports chiropractic care is a specialized branch of chiropractic that caters to athletes and individuals engaged in sports or physical activities. Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioners/Physicians (CCSP) undergo additional post-doctoral training to understand the unique biomechanical stresses and injuries associated with athletic performance. A CCSP doctor will use a combination of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies, rehabilitation exercises, and preventive strategies to optimize athletic performance, enhance recovery, and prevent injuries. Sports chiropractors often work closely with coaches, trainers, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care tailored to athletes' specific needs and goals. 

Additional training in sports chiropractic equips doctors with specialized knowledge and techniques, making them ideally suited to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, whether related to athletic performance or everyday activities.
