Sports Chiropractic in Thunder Bay

Patient's arm extendedEveryone who comes to Port Arthur Chiropractic Centre, whether new or returning patients, regardless of age, activity level, or health status, receives a thorough exam, including a full spinal assessment. And unless there is some obvious contraindication or patient preference, all patients get a full spine adjustment. So athletes can benefit from chiropractic care as much as anyone else.

We see athletes at all levels, from professionals to weekend warriors. For most of them, they have a heightened awareness of their health and functional abilities, and want to maintain that higher level. Dr. DiGiuseppe works with them on preventative care to keep their performance high, and prevent injuries.

And when injuries occur, our patients find recovery time is faster because of the benefits of chiropractic wellness care. They heal quicker, restore function, and get back into action sooner.

How We Help

Other than spinal issues, we see athletes come in for help with shoulders, ankles, knees, and concussions. We have lots of hockey players who got slammed into the boards, come in concussed, or with upper back and shoulder injuries. Soccer players roll their ankles, and baseball players have lots of shoulder problems. Whatever the injury, we’re here to help.

And once they have become regular patients, we see them for wellness, preventive, and performance care, along with various other injuries that occur along the way. Port Arthur Chiropractic Centre is not built on the “one and done” style of care—there’s nothing cookie cutter about the care we offer you!

Intensified Care for Better Outcomes

After doing his standard head-to-toe evaluation of the patient, including any specific areas of concern, Dr. DiGiuseppe uses similar techniques and therapies as with his other patients. However he often raises the intensity of care, based on the patient’s tolerance, age, physical fitness and motivation to get faster results.

Sports Chiropractic FAQs

At Port Arthur Chiropractic Centre, we can address a wide range of sports injuries, including those affecting shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and even concussions. Our care extends to both spinal and extremity injuries, as all are connected to spinal health.

How does chiropractic care help athletes recover faster and improve performance?

Chiropractic care enhances recovery and performance by improving nerve function and coordination, enhancing blood flow to promote faster healing, increasing range of motion and flexibility, and addressing subtle imbalances before they become injuries. Research has shown that regular, specific chiropractic care can improve athletic performance.

We’re equipped to help athletes from any sport improve their performance and recover from injuries.

How does chiropractic care for athletes differ from regular care?

While the fundamental principles are the same, chiropractic care for athletes often focuses more on subtle imbalances that could affect performance. We also pay specific attention to sport-related movements and stresses and collaborate with coaches and trainers for complete care.
