Sports Chiropractic and Rehab

 We want to help you maintain your active lifestyle. Whether your athletic event is running marathons, gardening, weight lifting, or playing with your grandchildren, we want you to know that you are an athlete. We are here to help our athletes get back to doing what they love. Optimal performance and pain free motion are what we strive for.

Our bodies are made to move, and joints are designed to function with movement. When joints lose their ability to move correctly, the result is flawed bio-mechanics, discomfort/pain, and sub-optimal performance. At Pura Vida Wellness Center, we systematically assess the joints of the body for proper movement, determine which joints lack motion, and restore that motion with a specific chiropractic adjustment. This can prevent injury, optimize recovery, and allow you to perform at your highest potential.

If you are looking for more than just a “crack and go” experience, you have found the right place. Prehab and rehab are just as important to us as your adjustment. In addition to chiropractic treatment, we provide personalized exercises and stretches to correct muscle imbalances for rapid rehabilitation and to enhance overall strength and flexibility. If you have a specific sport you would like to work on, our doctors can analyze your running gait, lifting technique, and other compensation patters to guide you toward moving and feeling your best.
