Sports Chiropractic in Truckee
If you love skiing, hiking, cycling, or just keeping up with your grandkids, pain can quickly sideline your plans. Sports injuries show up in weekend warriors, active retirees, and anyone who pushes a little too hard. Stiffness, nagging tension, or sharp joint pain can make even simple activities feel risky. At Elevation Chiropractic, Dr. Michael Colpitts offers gentle, precise sports chiropractic care to help you get back outside doing what you love.
Gentle, Whole-Body Care for Athletes of Every Age
Many people avoid chiropractic because they worry about twisting or loud cracking. Dr. Colpitts focuses on a very gentle approach that respects how your body feels and responds. He uses Sacro-Occipital Technic (SOT®), a low-force method that works with your spine, pelvis, organs, and cranial system to balance your nervous system and support natural healing. Our clean, modern office blends a nature-focused feel with tech friendly efficiency, so your visits are relaxing, clear, and always on time.
Sports Injuries and Problems We Commonly Address
Sports chiropractic can be a smart, natural choice whether your pain started with a single fall or has built up over years of activity. We look for the root cause of your discomfort, not just the sore spot, so your body can move in a more balanced way. Common sports-related issues we help with include:
- Low back and neck pain from skiing or biking
- Hip, knee, and ankle pain related to running or hiking
- Shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain from lifting or racquet sports
By supporting your spine, muscles, and nervous system together, we aim to improve performance, speed recovery, and lower the chance of future flare ups.
What to Expect at Your Sports Chiropractic Visit
Your first visit starts with a relaxed conversation about your health history, sports, and goals, followed by a focused exam with posture checks and simple movement tests. Dr. Colpitts explains what he finds in clear language and outlines a plan that fits your activity level and comfort.
Gentle, low-force adjustments are tailored to your body, with no pressure to do anything you are not ready for. If you are eager to get back to the trails, the lake, or the gym with less pain, schedule your appointment today. We can’t wait to welcome you into our care!
