FAQ

Common questions about sports injury chiropractor in Placitas

QHow fast can I get back to my sport?

It depends on the tissue and the sport. Most acute strains in Placitas athletes return in 24 weeks; chronic tendinopathy responds in 48 weeks with the right protocol.

QShould I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist?

Often both, and we collaborate. Chiropractic excels at restoring joint motion; PT excels at progressive loading. The smartest athletes use both.

QDo you treat youth athletes?

Yes, we love working with growing athletes. Catching mechanical issues early can prevent the chronic injuries that derail college and adult athletic careers.

QCan chiropractic improve performance, not just fix injuries?

Yes. Restoring full spinal motion improves rotation, recoil, and reaction time, measurable gains for golfers, runners, and rotation-sport athletes.
