Feel Your Best with Sports Chiropractic Care & Rehabilitation in Rochester

Optimize performance with sports chiropractic care & rehabilitation

Everyone knows movement and activity are vital to a well-balanced body and life. And while exercise, sports, and physical hobbies are good for you, contributing to strength, flexibility, stamina, and longevity, consistent movement can also create imbalances within the spine and musculoskeletal system.

Those who are regularly physically active risk causing injuries, dysfunctions, imbalances, soreness, and conditions that create limitations. And for most athletes, whether playing on a team or trying to reach solitary goals, limitations aren’t an option. 

The athletic body is often pushed to unnatural, sometimes unrealistic, extremes. This puts significant pressure on the spine and targeted soft tissues and joints, which means you have to proactively take care of your body so it can support your demands.

Our Rochester sports chiropractor uses his proven blend of chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and performance-enhancement strategies to maximize you, your body, and your results. We understand the needs of athletes, weekend warriors, avid exercisers, and those who adhere to physical activity. 

When you’re in pain, don’t push through. Make an appointment with us, and let’s find the cause of your symptoms so you can safely return to your training and activities. We know you’ve made a lot of sacrifices to get where you are; don’t let your injury force you to the sidelines.

Whether you walk your dog daily, take the stairs instead of the elevator, compete in CrossFit competitions, or climb mountains, your body relies on your support to function correctly.

Our Chiropractic Adjusting Methods

Chiropractic adjustments are conservative solutions that differ from traditional healthcare because they work with the body’s natural resources and never rely on surgery, medication, or treatments that focus solely on symptoms. Our Rochester chiropractic clinic offers an array of adjusting modalities.


Some of the organic adjusting services we use to relieve pain and remove restrictions include:

  • Diversified adjusting: Traditional hands-on manipulation 
  • Flexion distraction: Using a segmented table that allows us to drop specific sections to enhance manipulation effects
  • Motion Palpation: Used to manually discover how joints are moving and positioned
  • McKenzie Method: Patients are asked to perform exercises that detail where dysfunction is so the right adjusting plan can be designed

 

In addition to chiropractic manipulation, we also offer the following services to restore function and comfort and improve performance:

 

Dr. Skare is well-versed in creating and implementing the optimal healing plan so you can quickly return to your activities. Whether you need adjusting in your spine or extremities, we’re devoted to getting you back in action.

Why You Should Work with a Sports Chiropractor for Injuries, Rehab, & Performance

Athletes generally use select areas of their bodies consistently and for long periods. This constant pressure puts those areas in jeopardy. Chiropractic care discourages risk by monitoring form, mechanics, and function and quickly remedying imbalances.   

However, even with preventative chiropractic care, dysfunction can arise. When injured, our sports chiropractor will find the cause of your pain and develop an efficient healing plan so your discomfort doesn’t overrule your activity. 

We know you don’t want to miss out on training or events. You’ve put in the time, you have the dedication, and your head is prepared to get you there, so give your body what it needs to make it to the finish line.   


Common sports injuries we successfully treat include:

 

Don't miss out on training or participating; safe, natural, and noninvasive chiropractic care is here to show you that you're in control. Yes, we focus on healing, but we also intend to prepare your body and mind so you can go the extra mile.

Our Rochester Sports Chiropractic & Sports Rehabilitation Services

You don’t need to suffer, and you don’t need to quit. Our sports chiropractic and rehabilitation combine traditional modalities and modern science to heal your body, condition it, and get it moving at its peak. 

Downtime and medication can create havoc when preparing for an event; let us give you the safe, natural support your body deserves. 


Some of the sports chiropractic services used by Dr. Skare include:

Chiropractic Adjustments & Spinal Manipulations

A targeted, low-amplitude, high-velocity thrust applied to a restricted joint or vertebrae. Often, this service immediately restores range of motion and comfort at some level. We use manual, instrument, and table-assisted adjusting for excellent results.


Myofascial Release & Soft Tissue Therapies

Providing gentle and consistent pressure to affected tissues will improve circulation, release tension, promote relaxation, and offer overall balance and well-being in body and mind. 

Our soft tissue treatments include cupping, taping, and myofascial release, all stimulating effective healing by removing restrictions. 


Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique where thin needles are inserted into trigger points or tight muscle areas to alleviate pain and improve mobility. It targets muscle knots and spasms, promoting relaxation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall muscle function.


Sports Rehabilitation

Athletes of all levels and abilities depend on sports rehab for a swift, responsible recovery during training and after events. Sports rehabilitation is a form of preventative care that enhances performance, endurance, and overall comfort so you can get back to training as quickly and safely as possible. 

We offer several rehabilitative therapies, including blood flow restriction therapy, to maximize healing and help patients regain their strength and function effectively. 


Other natural services provided to our athletes include:

  • McKenzie Method
  • Motion Palpation
  • Flexion distraction
  • NormaTec recovery
  • Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) 
  • Nutrition guidance
  • Take-home exercises and lifestyle education for proactive and preventative care

 

Our comprehensive solutions are the best way to attain your goals and reach your pinnacle performance levels, extreme focus, and willful drive. 

You’re so close. Let’s get you there!
