What Is Performance Recovery Chiropractic?
Performance recovery chiropractic focuses on helping athletes and active adults bounce back from training demands, manage soft tissue injuries, and maintain the physical resilience needed for consistent performance. Unlike standard pain management, recovery-focused care looks at the full load your body is under and addresses the structural and muscular factors that limit how well you adapt.
Common reasons athletes seek this type of care include post-training soreness that isn't resolving, recurring tightness in specific muscle groups, joint restrictions that limit range of motion, and early-stage overuse injuries that haven't yet become serious. The goal is to keep the body functioning well under load, not just treat problems after they develop.
At One Spine, our location inside a gym environment means we work with patients who are actively training. That context shapes how we approach every session.
How We Approach Sports Recovery at One Spine
Dr. Lauren Artaserse, DC, PTA, and Dr. Luke Krebs, DC, bring a combined background in chiropractic and physiotherapy to every performance recovery case. Dr. Artaserse's dual training as a Doctor of Chiropractic and Physical Therapist Assistant means our approach integrates spinal and joint assessment with soft tissue and movement-based rehab, rather than treating them separately.
Our recovery toolkit includes manual therapy and chiropractic adjustments to address joint restrictions and spinal mechanics, StretchRx sessions combining manual stretching, PNF techniques, cupping, and scraping, and SoftWave therapy for deeper tissue regeneration and inflammation management.
We also offer performance and recovery packages in collaboration with American Grit Training Facility, combining personal training and StretchRx sessions for patients who want structured programming alongside their care.

What Patients Typically Experience
Patients receiving regular sports recovery care at One Spine generally report faster post-training recovery and reduced residual soreness between sessions, improved joint range of motion and movement quality during activity, and earlier identification and resolution of overuse issues before they become injuries.
Results are cumulative. Athletes who incorporate chiropractic recovery care consistently tend to experience fewer training interruptions over time compared to those who only seek care reactively.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Recovery Chiropractic
Yes. Sports recovery chiropractic is designed to complement an active training schedule, not interrupt it. Most patients continue training as normal between visits. If a specific area needs rest, we'll advise accordingly.
A sports-focused approach accounts for the load your body is under from training. We assess movement patterns, soft tissue tension, and performance-related mechanics in addition to spinal alignment. Dr. Artaserse's physiotherapy background adds a rehab layer that standard chiropractic visits often don't include.
Most active patients benefit from weekly or bi-weekly visits during peak training periods, tapering to monthly maintenance as their condition stabilizes. We'll give you a recommended frequency at your first assessment.
No. Many of our patients come in for maintenance and performance optimization rather than injury treatment. Proactive care is one of the most effective ways to reduce injury risk over a full training season.
