Lyn Lake Chiropractic specializes in treating sports injuries. We work with kids, weekend athletes, high school and college athletes, and pro athletes — anyone active can end up with a sports injury that benefits from a sports chiropractic approach.
Why Athletes Choose Chiropractic Care
Many amateur and professional athletes are sidelined with injuries that could be avoided. Others sit on the bench because their injury doesn’t respond to ordinary treatment, or they keep playing at less than peak efficiency simply because their structural system is out of balance. Progressive coaches, athletes, and doctors increasingly recognize that pain-killing drugs aren’t the answer — they cover up symptoms, which can lead athletes into actions that make an injury more serious and longer-lasting.
Our Approach to Sports Injuries
Lyn Lake Chiropractic’s approach to health closely relates to the needs of the sports participant. Most sports involve body contact, fast starts and stops, and body positioning that places unusual strain on the back and structural system. We consider the whole person, giving special attention to the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.
Sports chiropractic is a natural health care method that stresses keeping all the systems of the body functioning efficiently, so the athlete enjoys peak performance, experiences minimum injury risk, and has fast recuperative powers. We’ll not only help get you out of pain, but try to find the cause so your symptoms don’t return.
Trusted by Athletes at Every Level
Many world-class and Olympic athletes, as well as professional stars and teams, have retained sports chiropractors to provide care. The NFL Players Association has officially incorporated sports chiropractors as a regular part of care, and chiropractors have been selected as attending doctors at the Olympic Games and national and world championships in track and field, cycling, volleyball, powerlifting, aerobics, and triathlons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of sports injuries do you treat?
We treat athletes of all ages and levels — from kids and weekend warriors to high school, college, and professional athletes — for injuries involving the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Why choose chiropractic care over pain medication for a sports injury?
Pain medication only masks symptoms rather than correcting the underlying issue, which can lead to further injury. Chiropractic care addresses the structural cause so recovery is more complete and lasting.
Do professional athletes actually use chiropractic care?
Yes. Sports chiropractic is used by many Olympic, professional, and world-class athletes, and is an official part of care recognized by organizations like the NFL Players Association.
Can chiropractic care help prevent future sports injuries, not just treat current ones?
Yes. By restoring proper structural balance and function, chiropractic care can reduce injury risk and support faster recovery between training sessions or competitions.
Do I need to be a serious athlete to benefit from sports chiropractic care?
No. Anyone who’s physically active — running, lifting, playing rec league sports, or just staying fit — can benefit from sports chiropractic care.
