What to Expect From Our Sports Chiropractor

When you come in to consult with our Sports Chiropractor, we’ll spend time talking with you about your issues, needs, and goals in terms of sports and the rest of your life. You’ll go over the new patient forms you completed through the online link we sent so you can give us the information we need to help you. Think of it as a healthcare huddle.

Once we have a grasp of the athlete you want to be, we can look at how your body is functioning. In addition to examining your body, our Sports Chiropractor views your spine through a series of digital X-rays. You can see your images and learn what your spinal alignment says about your health from Dr. Foss.

The heart of chiropractic is neurological assessment, and computerized imaging gives us a look at how your neurological system is functioning. Your brain and nerves reveal quite a bit about your overall health in addition to your athletic performance.

When neurological scans and spinal X-rays are combined, they give us a comprehensive view of how your spinal alignment affects your neurological function. One of the main features we search for on your X-rays is spinal subluxation. Subluxation is the medical term for out of alignment. When your spine is subluxated, nerves don’t operate properly.

When your spine is not in proper alignment, nerve signals don’t make it to their destination as efficiently or entirely as they can. You can feel as if your body parts are all playing on different teams.

The sports chiropractic answer to this challenge is gently moving the spine back into a healthy alignment through chiropractic adjustment. In fact, chiropractic adjustment improved athletic performance and reduced injury rates in three out of four research studies since the 1980s. To harness this power, you simply lay down on a comfortable, padded table designed explicitly for chiropractic work as Dr. Foss gently restores your healthy spinal alignment.

At Vital Wellness, one of our adjustment areas is equipped especially for expectant moms and children. Gentle physical activity during pregnancy can keep you in better condition for labor or hitting the streets in a baby jogger after you give birth. Recent research also shows that exercise during pregnancy reduces your risk of depression in late pregnancy and after you give birth.

If you’re not currently pregnant, we also offer supervised exercise. These moves strategically target your muscles throughout your body to promote healthy spinal alignment. When you’re ready to treat your weary muscles to some detoxifying heat, you can head to our infrared sauna.
