Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sports chiropractic focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity. It combines traditional chiropractic techniques with soft-tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, biomechanical assessments, and performance optimization.

  • Yes. By restoring movement, improving joint function, and addressing muscular imbalances, chiropractic care helps enhance biomechanics, reduce injury risk, and support more efficient performance.

  • No. While we specialize in athletic injuries, our treatments help anyone experiencing pain, restricted mobility, or repetitive-strain issues—whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or simply dealing with daily-life aches.

  • Dr. Karla has many treatment options available and can work with you on what is the best option for you and your body. There is no “one right way” but there is a best way for each individual and she will work with you to find what works best for you.

  • This varies by patient, but we recommend routine maintenance adjustments every 6-8 weeks depending on your body, your activity level, and your daily life. Dr. Karla will do a head-to-toe check and adjust where necessary.

  • Most treatments are gentle and safe. Some soft-tissue techniques may produce mild temporary discomfort similar to a deep tissue massage, but many patients feel immediate relief and improved mobility after treatment.

  • As soon as possible. Early evaluation helps reduce downtime, prevent compensations, and ensure proper healing. If your injury requires imaging or medical referral, we will guide you through those steps.

  • We do not accept health insurance and are considered “out of network.” If requested we will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company.

    *We do accept HSA and FLEX spending cards as well as Visa and Mastercard, check, and cash.
