Chiropractor Downers Grove IL: Sports Medicine

Sports medicine chiropractic care differs from general chiropractic in its focus on the unique demands athletes place on their bodies. At our Downers Grove sports medicine clinic, we understand the biomechanics of various sports and how repetitive movements, high-impact activities, and intense training can affect your musculoskeletal system.

Dr. Langgle uses sport-specific assessments to evaluate your movement patterns, identify areas of dysfunction, and develop targeted treatment plans. We consider factors like your training schedule, competition calendar, sport-specific demands, previous injury history, and performance goals when creating your care plan.

Dr. Zachary Langgle is a 2009 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and sees athletes and active people at 2585 Ogden Avenue, Downers Grove, IL 60515. Whether you run, throw, lift or play a contact sport, the first step is an exam that finds where the problem is coming from, which can include posture analysis, range of motion testing, orthopedic and neurological tests and spinal palpation. X-rays are used only if medically necessary.

Many sports injuries involve the shoulder, so see our page on shoulder pain treatment for rotator cuff problems and impingement. Extremity adjustments apply controlled force to joints such as the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle to restore alignment and function, and PulseWave therapy is used for tendon conditions. Our pain management page explains the natural, drug-free approach behind all of this care.

A first visit usually takes 45 to 60 minutes, and your first treatment can happen the same day if it is appropriate. Office hours: Monday and Wednesday 9-11 AM and 3-6 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 3-6 PM, Saturday 9-11 AM; closed Friday and Sunday.
