Many people believe that chiropractic care is for the spine only, but it is for all musculoskeletal injuries. As a sports chiropractor, Dr. Nate Skare incorporates chiropractic manipulation, myofascial and soft tissue work, dry needling, and rehabilitation to help athletes stay on the field and perform their best.
Every patient in our office will get a McKenzie take-home exercise, corrective exercises, or rehab plan to help enhance recovery.
Sports chiropractic goes beyond traditional chiropractic care. It's a specialized branch that focuses on optimizing athletic performance, preventing injuries, and promoting rapid recovery. Our clinic is dedicated to providing evidence-based treatments that cater to the specific needs of athletes and active individuals.
Our sports chiropractic services encompass a range of techniques and treatments:
-
Chiropractic Adjustments: Adjustments can enhance joint mobility, improve biomechanics, and alleviate restrictions that may hinder performance.
-
Functional Rehabilitation: We emphasize functional movements that mimic athletic activities, helping you regain strength, stability, and coordination.
-
Soft-Tissue Techniques: Techniques like myofascial release and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization target muscle imbalances and promote optimal tissue health.
-
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS): DNS retrains the nervous system to engage the right muscles at the right time, enhancing motor control and stability.
-
Dry Needling: This technique promotes tissue healing, reduces pain, and restores muscle function, aiding in both recovery and performance optimization.
-
Sports-Specific Strategies: We create customized plans that cater to the demands of your sport, addressing sport-specific biomechanics and potential injury risks.
Our sports chiropractic approach doesn't just focus on addressing injuries after they happen; it's about proactive care. By improving joint mobility, enhancing muscle function, and optimizing movement patterns, we help you prevent injuries from occurring in the first place.
Whether you're aiming to excel in your sport, overcome a performance plateau, or recover from an injury, our sports chiropractic services are designed to support your goals. We're committed to being your partner in achieving peak performance, helping you stay active, and reaching new heights in your athletic journey.
Instead of just being told to rest, we will exhaust every option available to keep you playing and recovering simultaneously. You and Dr. Skare will develop a plan to get you- or keep you ready for competition.

Dr. Skare helped me with nagging back pain I have had for a few years. After a few treatments, I can do exercises that I have been avoiding for many years because they were hurting my back. I would highly recommend getting treatment with Dr. Skare.
