Clairpointe Family Chiropractic

  Sports Injuries Here at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic, we have many active patients who exercise regularly and play sports like tennis, pickleball, golf, hockey, and running.  Once in a while, a patient will have an injury from their activity and will need an extra hand in recovery. When a sports injury occurs, after the patient ices and rests, we suggest coming in to have the doctors look at the injury from a chiropractic standpoint. The doctors can show you proper conditioning, warm-up, and cool-down techniques for each sport or exercise activity to prevent future injuries. We treat these injuries by showing you proper stretching, strengthening exercises and recommending pharmaceutical-grade supplements.

Over the years, Dr. Nathan has noticed the positive effects of a 15-minute stretching routine pre and post-practice or exercise, which has been great for limiting soreness and maximizing performance throughout the years.   At Clairpointe Family Chiropractic, we have a great book we refer to titled "Stretching," written by Bob Anderson.
