Precision Sports Medicine

actic management techniques. These programs incorporate components of passive and active care to address both the acute inflammatory/pain phase and the chronic/rehabilitation/injury prevention phase. Patient management typically incorporates a combined approach of various manual treatment procedures with an emphasis on high velocity low amplitude techniques (chiropractic manipulative treatment), advance stretching techniques (PNF), functional rehabilitation and exercise prescription to improve kinematic and kinetic chain function. Other modalities used include: Kinesio Taping Method, physiotherapy (such as ice, heat, and modalities), electrotherapeutics (Ultrasound, Motor Nerve Stimulation, Interferential, etc.), gait retraining, nutrition, footwear/ergonomic/training advice and sports specific strength and conditioning. Thus, the Precision Sports Chiropractic approach is both condition based and patient specific, and goes beyond the symptomatic improvement of local tissues to address additional peripheral factors that may be important in injury etiology or injury recurrence.
