Sport Injuries

At White Chiropractic, we understand the physical demands that sports place on the body, and we are dedicated to helping athletes recover from injuries and optimize their performance. Dr. Curt White, our experienced chiropractor, brings a unique perspective to sports injury care, having been a competitive Olympic weightlifter for over 20 years. He was a member of the 1988 Olympic weightlifting team and still holds several national weightlifting records. Dr. White’s firsthand experience with sports injuries, combined with his extensive chiropractic knowledge, makes him highly qualified to treat athletes of all levels.

While living at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Dr. White suffered a significant back injury that left him unable to continue his training. After 9 months of unsuccessful medical treatments, Dr. White turned to chiropractic care, and it was only after seeing a chiropractor that he was able to resume his training and reclaim his position as a US Men’s Olympic Weightlifter. This personal experience with sports injuries and chiropractic treatment is why Dr. White is so passionate about helping others recover from similar setbacks.

Dr. White uses his expertise in both chiropractic care and sports performance to offer targeted treatments for athletes dealing with sports-related injuries, including:

  1. Injury Recovery: Chiropractic care can promote faster healing by improving blood flow to injured areas, reducing inflammation, and restoring mobility. Whether you’re dealing with sprains, strains, joint pain, or soft tissue injuries, Dr. White will tailor a recovery plan to meet your specific needs.
  2. Pain Relief: Chiropractic adjustments help relieve pain caused by misalignments in the spine or joints. By restoring proper alignment, Dr. White can help alleviate discomfort and prevent future injury. This is especially beneficial for athletes who need to return to competition or training as soon as possible.
  3. Improved Range of Motion: Sports injuries often result in stiffness and reduced flexibility. Dr. White’s chiropractic treatments include gentle adjustments and stretches that help restore your range of motion, allowing you to move freely and prevent further injury.
  4. Prevention of Future Injuries: Chiropractic care not only helps with recovery but also works to prevent future injuries. Dr. White can assess your biomechanics, posture, and movement patterns to identify potential weaknesses or imbalances, addressing them before they become problems.
  5. Enhanced Performance: Dr. White’s background in Olympic weightlifting gives him a deep understanding of the physical demands of sports. He uses his experience to help athletes optimize their performance by improving strength, flexibility, and overall function.
  6. Sports-Specific Care: Whether you’re a weightlifter, runner, football player, or weekend warrior, Dr. White provides personalized care tailored to your sport and individual needs, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment for your injury.

Dr. White’s combination of personal athletic experience and professional chiropractic training sets him apart in the treatment of sports injuries. He understands what it’s like to face setbacks, and he’s dedicated to using chiropractic care to help athletes recover, perform at their best, and stay injury-free.
