Rehabilitation

Sports Chiropractor in Colorado Springs

The Key To Your Recovery

There’s a problem with most rehab… it's expensive, time consuming and it doesn't work! Traditional rehabilitation is stuck in the stone ages. It relies on a medical diagnosis and generic exercises that DO NOT WORK. Our approach is different.

We have taken 30 years of study and development, and we want to share it with you. Grounded in the scientific principles of exercise physiology, we apply an individualized approach to every patient under our care.

Chiropractic Adjustments help improve pain and function, but they won't keep you at your highest level indefinitely. We firmly believe that rehab exercises are the key to long-term success. Rehab helps regain the function that you have lost as the result of your injury.

Sometimes strength is lost, or range of motion. Regardless of what is lost, if you don't work on regaining it you will be permanently affected regardless of how good you may now feel. And these physical deficits can set the stage for your complaint to return in the future. The body can also lose strength and range of motion without an injury. Our athletic trainers/therapists work hand in hand with our Sports Chiropractors to structure your rehab in a way that is specific to your presentation.

You deserve rehabilitation that is personalized to your injury and your recovery!
