Whether you're a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, flexibility and range of motion (ROM) are critical for peak performance. At Archetype Health, our sports performance chiropractic services are designed to help athletes of all levels move better, recover faster, and perform at their best.
If you’re struggling with tight muscles, limited motion, or recurring injuries, it might be time to add a sports chiropractor to your training team.
What Is Performance Chiropractic and Sports Medicine?
You might be wondering: What is performance chiropractic and sports medicine, and how is it different from standard chiropractic care?
Performance chiropractic focuses specifically on the musculoskeletal and neurological systems of athletes and active individuals. It blends chiropractic care with the principles of sports medicine to enhance athletic performance, reduce injury risk, and support faster recovery.
At Archetype, we specialize in complete performance chiropractic that includes:
- Spinal and joint chiropractic adjustments
- Soft tissue therapy
- Movement assessments
- Corrective exercises
- Recovery strategies
Our goal is to improve an athlete’s flexibility, balance, strength, and agility so they can meet the physical demands of their training sessions and competitions.
How Chiropractic Helps Improve Flexibility and ROM
Flexibility is more than just being able to touch your toes. It’s about how well your joints move through their full range of motion without pain or restriction. Limited ROM can affect your gait, posture, coordination, and even breathing.
Here’s how sports performance chiropractic can help:
1. Realigning Joints with Chiropractic Adjustments
Misaligned joints can restrict motion and cause muscle compensation. Through precise chiropractic adjustments, we restore alignment to the spine, hips, shoulders, and extremities—allowing smoother, more efficient movement.
2. Addressing Soft Tissue Restrictions
Tight fascia, scar tissue, or muscular knots can also limit flexibility. Our sports chiropractors use techniques to release adhesions, improve circulation, and relax overactive muscles.
3. Reducing Inflammation and Muscle Strains
By reducing inflammation in the soft tissues, we help ease muscle strains, prevent stiffness, and promote healing—key for maintaining healthy ROM during intense physical activity.
4. Supporting Nervous System Function
Your nervous system controls every movement. When joints are properly aligned, the nerves can send clearer signals to muscles, improving coordination and responsiveness during movement.
Integrating Chiropractic with Sports Performance Training
Sports performance training isn’t just about lifting more weight or running faster—it’s about moving better. At Archetype, we collaborate with coaches, trainers, and therapists to integrate sports chiropractic care into your overall training programs.
This combination supports your:
- Power and explosiveness
- Agility and coordination
- Joint integrity
- Injury resilience
By keeping your body aligned and functioning efficiently, we help you maximize the benefits of your strength training and conditioning work.
Why Athletes Choose Sports Chiropractors
Professional athletes and serious competitors often include a sports medicine chiropractor in their performance team because they understand the value of recovery, injury prevention, and optimization.
Benefits of working with a sports chiropractor include:
- Faster recovery from training or injury
- Enhanced joint mobility and flexibility
- Relief from pain, tightness, and dysfunction
- Long-term injury prevention strategies
- Optimized performance under pressure
Whether you’re recovering from an Achilles tendon injury or trying to increase overhead shoulder mobility, our team can help you move with confidence and control.
Sports Injury Prevention: A Core Focus
A key component of sports performance chiropractic is sports injury prevention. Most athletic injuries are not the result of trauma—they're caused by overuse, poor movement mechanics, or imbalance.
Our chiropractors help athletes reduce the risk of injury by:
- Identifying faulty movement patterns
- Addressing alignment issues before they cause strain
- Teaching mobility and stabilization drills
- Supporting recovery between training sessions
Common injuries we help prevent and manage include:
- Sprained ankles
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Muscle strains
- Knee and hip pain
- Achilles tendon inflammation
- Low back tightness
By being proactive, we help you stay on the field, track, or court—doing what you love.
