Frequently Asked Questions
Should I rest or see a chiropractor for a sports injury?
In most cases, early treatment leads to faster recovery. Rest alone doesn't address joint dysfunction.
Can chiropractic help with running injuries?
Yes. Running injuries often stem from gait imbalances and hip dysfunction. Dr. Mike addresses the structural cause.
Do you treat CrossFit and gym injuries?
Absolutely. Gym injuries from deadlifts, squats, and overhead pressing are some of the most common conditions we treat.
How quickly can I return to training?
It depends on the injury, but many patients return to modified training within the first few sessions.
Do you accept insurance for sports injury treatment?
Yes. We're in-network with UHC, Aetna, Cigna, and ASH. Call (347) 313-8526 to verify.
