Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I see a chiropractor as an athlete?

The frequency of visits depends on your specific needs and goals. Our chiropractors will recommend a tailored plan based on your assessment and will answer your questions regarding their rationale.

Can chiropractic care help with old sports injuries?

Yes, chiropractic care can help manage and alleviate pain from past injuries by improving joint function and muscle balance. It’s never too late to address an injury.

Is chiropractic care safe for athletes of all ages?

Absolutely. Our techniques are safe and effective for athletes of all ages, from young competitors to seasoned veterans. We also tailor our care to the athlete in front of us—a 10-year-old gymnast needs different care than a 70-year-old runner.

I just like to run recreationally. Do I count as an athlete?

Absolutely. All physical activity places demands on the body, and our treatment is designed to ensure your body has the capacity to meet those demands. Whether or not you want to put “athlete” in your LinkedIn bio is your call.

Can Chiropractic help me get more active again?

Of course! One of the main reasons why people stop being active is because it stops feeling good—because their body isn’t moving well. Our targeted Chiropractic care can get to the bottom of the movement pattern dysfunction so that activity feels good again.

Is Chiropractic care for athletes covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover Chiropractic care and don’t often qualify for coverage based on whether or not you’re an athlete. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.

Should I see a Chiropractor or a Physiotherapist as an athlete?

You can see either, but we recommend both! Chiropractors and Physiotherapists can work together, coordinating care so you reach your goals. The combination of care allows each Practitioner to utilise their skills and training. Chiropractors can then focus on your joints & nervous system, and Physiotherapists can focus on exercises & strengthening your body.

Can I get an adjustment right before my big event?

You can! Some athletes even prefer to schedule their Chiropractic visit right before their events, knowing that they’ll be moving well when they need to be. That being said, it’s always best to consult your Chiropractor and ensure you know how you respond to care.

How should I recover from my big event?

Hydration, nutrition, and addressing any issues from the demands of your event! Proper hydration helps with blood flow and inflammation, and nutrition supports your body’s healing ability. Big events also put a huge strain on our bodies, even if you didn’t injure yourself. It can be a great idea to book a follow-up visit with your Chiropractor for a few days after your event so they can assess & make a care plan recommendation to ensure you keep moving well!

In addition to athletes, who can benefit from chiropractic adjustments?

Anyone and everyone! Chiropractic care isn’t just for athletes—it’s beneficial for people of all ages and stages of life. We see a wide range of clients, from the tiniest tots to seniors.

For children, we offer Pediatric Chiropractic adjustments that can support healthy growth and development. We use gentle, safe techniques tailored specifically for little ones, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

Expectant mothers also find immense relief in our Pregnancy chiropractic care. Pregnancy brings many physical changes and discomforts, but regular adjustments can help maintain a healthy spine and pelvis, easing pain and potentially leading to a smoother delivery.

Seniors, too, benefit greatly from chiropractic adjustments. As we age, our bodies undergo various changes that can affect mobility and overall health. Chiropractic care can help manage pain, improve flexibility, and enhance the overall quality of life.

So, whether you’re an active professional, an expecting mother, a growing child, or enjoying your golden years, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of maintaining your health and wellness. At MYo Lab, we provide personalized care tailored to each individual’s needs at every stage of life.
