Chiropractic care

Our chiropractic team specializes in the assessment, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in patients and athletes of all levels. Rooted in evidence based practice, chiropractic care focuses on restoring optimal movement, reducing pain, and enhancing athletic performance through a combination of manual therapies and rehabilative strategies.

Our chiropractors use current research, clinical expertise, patient preference and patient goals to guide care. Whether you’re managing an injury, optimizing movement, or striving for peak performance, chiropractic can be a key component of your sports medicine plan.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a manual form of healing which emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body. It uses manual ‘hands-on’ techniques to improve circulation and correct altered biomechanics, without the use of drugs. An osteopathic physician does not concentrate only on the problem area, but uses manual techniques to balance all the body systems, and to provide overall good health and wellbeing.

Athletic Therapy

A Certified Athletic Therapist (AT) utilizes contemporary rehabilitative techniques, therapeutic modalities, physical reconditioning and supportive techniques to promote optimal performance and prepares the individual for safe reintegration into an active lifestyle.

Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: An Athletic Therapist’s goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports, participating in leisure activities or walking to classes

Registered Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the hands-on manipulation of soft body tissues, including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints, to improve physical function and overall well-being. This therapeutic approach helps to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, rehabilitate injuries, and enhance circulation. In addition to its physical benefits, massage therapy is known to reduce stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue, supporting both emotional and physical health. Whether used for injury recovery, stress relief, or general wellness, massage therapy offers a holistic method to help individuals feel and perform their best.

Generally, the cost of most braces is fully or partially covered by most extended health providers, including the Brock BUSU Health and Dental plan.  It is the individual’s responsibility to investigate their specific insurance policies to ensure coverage.
