What types of athletes do you treat?
Athletes of all ages and levels, from youth and high school competitors to weekend warriors and masters athletes. Care is tailored to your sport, injury, and goals.
How is this different from regular physical therapy?
Sports rehabilitation focuses on returning you to performance, not just resolving pain — combining chiropractic care, manual therapy, dry needling, and progressive strength work.
How long does sports rehab take?
It depends on the injury and its severity. Some athletes recover in a few weeks; more significant injuries take longer. You'll get a realistic timeline after your evaluation.
Can you help prevent injuries, not just treat them?
Yes. We use movement screens and corrective exercise to identify and address the weak links that lead to injury before they sideline you.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Call us directly at (816) 491-8000 or claim the New Patient Special online to get started.
