About Align Sports Therapy

At Align Sports Therapy, we don’t just “treat symptoms” — we help active adults andfix the root cause of pain, restore long-term performance, and move better than they have in years.

Our approach is different because it combines advanced chiropractic care, sports therapy techniques, neurofunctional acupuncture, and structured rehab protocols — all designed to help you stay active, strong, and independent.

Our team has worked with athletes at the highest levels, weekend warriors, and everyday adults who want a smarter path to recovery — without unnecessary surgery, medications, or cookie-cutter therapy.

Why We Created This Guide

Most people come to us after trying everything else — chiropractic, physical therapy, injections — and still not feeling like themselves.

The biggest frustration we see?
Nobody ever explained the real reason behind their pain, gave them a clear plan, or truly connected the dots.

That’s why we created this guide:
To answer your questions up front, show you how we’re different, and help you make an informed decision without wasting more time, money, or energy.

Q1: I’m already seeing another chiropractor or physical therapist. Why would I come to Align?

Most clinics are limited by time, insurance, and outdated models. At Align, every plan is individualized, results-focused, and integrates advanced clinical modalities with individualzied exercise prescription and progressive rehab strategies.

Q2: I don’t want to be “cracked.” Do I have to be adjusted?

No. Manual adjustments are just one tool — not the whole toolbox. We tailor treatment to what works for your body and goals.

Q3: I’m going to physical therapy already. Why would I come to Align?
Most PT clinics operate on volume — passing patients to aides and assistants. We work one-on-one, deliver full 60 minute sessions with a doctor, and build an actual roadmap to recovery.

Q4: I already have exercises. Why would I need more?
Because random exercises aren’t the same as the right exercises. We focus on quality, precision, and real progression — not a PDF full of generic movements.

Q5: What does exercise have to do with chiropractic and sports therapy?
Movement is medicine. Properly prescribed exercise builds resilience, strengthens weak links, and prevents problems from coming back.

Q6: Who do you work with?

Active adults who want to stay active without nagging injuries
Adults 40+ who want to move better, lift stronger, and live pain-free
Runners, lifters, and recreational athletes
Women serious about protecting their joints, building strength, and staying healthy long-term
Post surgical adults who are looking to bridge the gap back to high quality personal training.

Q7: What if I come for an evaluation and decide not to move forward?
No pressure. We provide the roadmap — you decide if you want to move forward.

Q8: How likely is it that you’ll be able to help me?
If you're dealing with pain, stiffness, or mobility limitations in your spine, shoulders, hips, or knees — odds are, we can help. If we can’t, we'll tell you and connect you with someone who can.

Q9: Can I speak to someone before booking?
Yes. Reach out by phone, text, or email to set up a free discovery call.

Q10: What happens if I ignore my injury?
It doesn’t just "go away." Small issues turn into bigger compensations over time — leading to more pain, surgeries, and lost mobility.

Q11: It just happened yesterday. Should I wait?
No. The sooner you address it, the faster and easier the recovery.

Q12: What if it doesn't hurt anymore by the time of my visit?
Still come. Pain is only part of the picture. Correcting the underlying issue now prevents it from coming back stronger later.

Q13: How quickly can I get scheduled?
Usually within 48–72 hours. If it’s urgent, we'll prioritize you.

Q14: Will I have to wait when I arrive?
No. We respect your time. Appointments start when they’re supposed to start.

Q15: Will you just crack my back and send me out the door?
Not even close. Every visit involves hands-on therapy, guided exercises, movement correction, and clear education.

Q16: Can you help with arthritis?
Yes. We help manage arthritis symptoms by improving joint function, reducing inflammation, and restoring strength.

Q17: Can you help Hyrox competitors, runners, or lifters?
Absolutely. We understand the demands of your sport and create plans that keep you training safely.

Q18: Will you tell me to stop exercising?
Rarely. We modify intelligently so you can stay active while healing.

Q19: Is it expensive?
It’s an investment in your future health. And compared to surgeries, missed work, or chronic pain? It’s a no-brainer.

Q20: My doctor said not to go to a chiropractor. Should I be worried?
Most traditional doctors don’t understand our cutting-edge approach. Many will revert back to thoughts of a two minute visit with the spine being adjusted. Our treatment system could not be further from that.

Q21: I was told I need surgery. Can you help me avoid it?
In many cases, yes. Surgery should be a last resort, not a first step.

Q22: How long is each session?
Initial evaluations are 60-90 minutes. Treatment sessions that make up a plan of care are all 60 minutes. Every second counts.

Q23: Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with us.

Q24: How often will I need to come?
It depends — most plans start at 2–3x per week and taper off as you progress.

Q25: Will I have to keep coming forever?
No. Our goal is to make you independent, not dependent.

Q26: Will I be sore after treatment?
Maybe slightly — like a good workout — but never worse off.

Q27: Will you give me exercises to do at home?
Yes — if you want to accelerate results. (It’s optional, but highly recommended.)

Q28: Can you coordinate with my trainer or coach?
Yes. We believe your care should be integrated, not isolated.
