Sports Chiropractic
in West Des Moines
Sports injuries, especially at the high school level, are often due to bio-mechanical issues. Each sport stresses the body differently. For example, shoulder and elbow injuries are common in baseball and volleyball players. Knee and ankle instability are common in soccer players. Head injuries and shoulder separations are common in hockey and football players. Our sports chiropractor analyze athletes’ bio-mechanics to figure out where the movement pattern is breaking down. This allows us to get to the root of the problem and better correct it. We can then help injured athletes get back in the game faster and help healthy athletes avoid injuries altogether.
Chiropractic Care for Weightlifters
For many individuals, weightlifting has become the main form of exercise to stay physically fit. Weight training helps strengthen muscle tissue which in turn improves joints and bone density. Some weightlifters struggle to properly perform exercises and can break down joints and cause injury. Our sports chiropractor can find the areas of weakness and reconstruct your lifting technique to help you improve your posture and reduce your pain while lifting.
Our Chiropractic Care for Athletes
The multi-system approach and sport specific patient analysis we use really makes us unique. Our sports chiropractor combines traditional chiropractic approaches with traditional physiotherapy approaches (sports medicine) and melds them together to achieve better patient outcomes. Research shows if both approaches are used simultaneously, patients get better faster and STAY better. Also, our sport specific analysis comes from years of participation and study of how different sports impact the body. Understanding specific athletic stressors allows us to develop more targeted treatment plans for our athletes.

I started seeing sports chiropractor, Dr.Justin, when I returned to the gym. He helped break down my squatting form to address areas of dysfunction. He taught me how to properly engage my glutes and core. I now no longer have back or knee pain when
squatting or deadlifting. He is the best sports medicine chiropractor in the West Des Moines!
