Elite and recreational athletes alike are increasingly turning to sports chiropractors for help managing musculoskeletal injuries, improving mobility and staying game-ready. Publications like the American Journal of Sports Medicine and the Journal of Athletic Training highlight how manual therapies, including chiropractic adjustments, play a key role in multidisciplinary sports medicine teams.

Research published in a 2023 Cureus article notes that chiropractic care has the potential to significantly improve the performance, health and well-being of athletes by addressing imbalances and optimizing neuromuscular function. By correcting joint restrictions and restoring proper biomechanics, chiropractors may help improve athletes’ competitiveness, reduce injury rates and provide long-term health benefits
