Sports Injuries and Performance
Whether you were injured on the field or you are looking to push your game to the next level, we can help.
As a lifelong athlete and competitor on several different fields, Dr. Derek knows what it's like to be watching from the sideline when faced with injury. It was actually a football injury that first led him to chiropractic, but not until after he went the traditional medical route with no luck or relief. With just a few chiropractic visits he was back on the field doing what he loved. This is where his passion for helping athletes with Chiropractic stems from. Athletes all over the world, from professional football to the Olympics, are finding the benefits of chiropractic care and they are on the top of their games because of it. Here at Longevity Chiropractic, we are trained in the latest techniques to get you back on the field as quickly and safely as possible. Some of the techniques include muscle testing with the latest in extremity adjusting, mobility and strengthening rehab, rock taping, SPRT taping, Active Release Technique, functional movement patterns, and functional neurology. One thing a good doctor should always do is recommend a series of therapy before suggesting surgery. Recent research actually suggests that athletes with knee injuries that would normally "require" surgery, are getting well quicker and with less scar tissue if they go the non-invasive route with therapy and rehab.
