How Can Chiropractic Help Cortez CO Athletes?

Dr. Treinen has attained a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (C.C.E.P.). This Palmer College of Chiropractic sponsored certification program warrants that he has completed an accredited course of post-graduate study and clinical work in the care and treatment and management of extremity injuries. This sports injury course is the culmination of research conducted on thousands of athletic cases including high school, college, professional and Olympic athletes.

This series of classes began with a weekend studying the foot, the next weekend class studied the ankle, the next the knee, and in succession the hip joint, the shoulder, elbow, wrist, jaw, and ribs. Then he passed all the tests to be certified under the authority of the Council on Extremity Adjusting. Common conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness/pain in hands), shoulder and elbow pain, rib pain, jaw pain or clicking or popping (also known as TMJ dysfunction), hip, knee, and feet pain, all typically respond remarkably well with the treatment protocols provided in this course.

Mountain Chiropractic offers sports physicals and free chiropractic care for high school athletes!

When Should an Athlete See a Chiropractor?

Just as people get a flu shot at the beginning of the year to try to prevent getting sick, athletes of all ranks shouldn't wait to see a chiropractor until after an injury has occurred. While chiropractic has been proven to be an excellent source for injury rehabilitation and healing, it is an even better resource for preventing the damage from happening. Chiropractors view the body as a whole, taking into account all aspects of health. Our team at Mountain Chiropractic, P.C. has the resources to provide adjustive procedures, physical therapy, and soft tissue massage to address the nervous, skeletal, muscular, and ligamentous systems. Through this approach, the body is allowed to function at its optimal level, keeping you off the bench and sidelined with injuries throughout the season.
