What Does a Sports Chiropractor Do?

A sports chiropractor specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to physical activity and athletic performance. Unlike general chiropractic care, sports chiropractic focuses on the musculoskeletal demands specific to your sport — whether that is running, weightlifting, jiujitsu, or field sports.

At Ascenxion Rehab and Performance, every visit is a one-on-one session with Dr. Arteaga. There are no assistants, no hand-offs, and no cookie-cutter protocols. He performs a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your pain or limitation, then builds a treatment plan that combines hands-on care with active rehabilitation. This approach aligns with current evidence-based guidelines for managing sports injuries and ensures you are not just chasing symptoms — you arefixing the problem.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Athletes put their bodies through repetitive stress, sudden impacts, and high-intensity demands. These are some of the most common sports-related injuries we treat at our San Antonio clinic:

Muscle Strains and Joint Sprains Acute injuries from sudden movements, collisions, or awkward landings that cause tissue damage and inflammation.

Lifting Injuries Low back strains, shoulder impingement, and disc-related issues often caused by improper mechanics or progressive overload without adequate mobility.

Overuse and Overtraining Injuries Repetitive stress conditions such as tendinitis, stress reactions, and chronic tightness that develop over time when training volume or intensity exceeds recovery capacity.

Combat Sport and Jiujitsu Injuries Neck strains, rib dysfunction, shoulder instability, and spinal pain common in grappling and striking sports.

Running Injuries IT band syndrome, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and knee pain commonly seen in distance and recreational runners.

Military-Related Injuries Dr. Arteaga's five years in the Marine Corps give him direct clinical understanding of ruck-related injuries, load-bearing joint stress, and the physical toll of military service.
