How Our Sports Rehab Program Works
Sports rehabilitation at Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology in La Vista is designed for athletes and active individuals who need to recover from injury, return to competition, or improve their athletic performance. If you are a high school athlete dealing with a sprained ankle, a weekend runner battling knee pain, or a competitive lifter recovering from a shoulder injury, our sports rehab programs are built around your specific sport, your injury, and your performance goals. Dr. Colby J. Carter and Dr. John W. McClaren combine chiropractic care, functional movement assessment, targeted rehabilitation exercises, and sport-specific training to get you back in the game safely and on schedule. Unlike generic rehabilitation, our approach considers the unique demands of your sport and the biomechanical patterns that may have contributed to your injury. We treat the injury and address the underlying movement dysfunction that caused it, reducing your risk of re-injury. Our La Vista clinic serves athletes from across the Omaha metro area, including teams and individuals from Bellevue, Papillion, Ralston, and surrounding communities who want expert sports injury care without the wait times of a hospital-based program.
How Sports Rehab Works at ACN
Your sports rehab program at ACN begins with a comprehensive sports-specific evaluation that assesses your injury, movement patterns, joint stability, muscle balance, and functional capacity relative to the demands of your sport. Dr. Carter and Dr. McClaren identify what is injured and the biomechanical imbalances or movement faults that contributed to the injury. From there, we build a phased rehabilitation program. The early phase focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, protecting the injured tissue, and restoring basic range of motion. As you progress, we introduce sport-specific strengthening exercises, proprioception and balance training, plyometrics, agility work, and functional movement drills that mimic the demands of your sport. Dr. Carter and Dr. McClaren use chiropractic adjustments throughout to maintain proper joint mechanics and optimize nervous system function. We also incorporate massage therapy when muscle tension or adhesions are limiting your recovery. Before clearing you to return to full activity, we run you through a return-to-sport testing protocol that measures your strength, stability, and movement quality against objective benchmarks. This evidence-based clearance process confirms that you are ready, not just feeling better, before you go back to competition or training.
