Sports Chiropractic in Richmond Hill
At Spinalcare Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on where your injury is, and how it happened, not the sport you were participating in. Every injury is unique; to provide the proper treatment, we need to gather as much information as possible.
What to Expect
Seeking care promptly is important. When you come to our office, you’ll receive a thorough examination, with special attention to your joints. Joint pain can indicate there is further damage that needs to be addressed right away. Pain may also be caused by over-extending or straining muscles during your activities.
During the examination, we test how your joints, muscles and ligaments are moving. We check for a good foundation, a strong core, and if your feet are well-supported. These are important pieces in keeping your body aligned. Special emphasis is placed on this part of your examination.
Before you can receive an adjustment, we have to reduce any inflammation from the injury. Pain is not always related to the injured area. Discovering the root cause of the pain is crucial to developing an effective care plan. As part of your care plan we may incorporate several of our techniques/services to help with healing.
- Activator methods chiropractic adjustments
- Massage therapy
- Traditional Chinese acupuncture
- Corrective exercises and stretches
With his background in martial arts and personal training, Dr. Chan has a deep understanding of body mechanics. This helps him pinpoint how your body has been injured and design the best treatment for you. Our goal is to help heal your injury and ensure your rehab time is lessened.
Healing Comes First
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or professional athlete, you have this in common—you want to get back to doing what you love! Unfortunately, sometimes sports activities have to be put on hold, so healing can take place.
Depending on how competitive his patient is, Dr. Chan may have to use braces, taping and other supports during the healing stage and beyond. He works with the support staff for his professional athletes to coordinate care and prevent re-injury.
We recommend regular maintenance care, not just to prevent further injury, but to prolong the time athletes are able to perform at their best.
