Keeping Active Bodies Aligned with Sports Chiropractic

At Jassal Chiropractic, we work with people who move for a living and live to move, whether you’re a weekend warrior, marathoner, or seasoned athlete. As a sports chiropractor in Vancouver, BC, our role is to help your body function at its best, whether you’re training for your next event or recovering from an injury. Sports chiropractic care focuses on optimizing performance, reducing injury risk, and supporting long-term wellness.

We understand the physical demands placed on your spine, joints, and muscles. Through specific adjustments, advanced tools, and a personalized treatment approach, we help address imbalances, improve mobility, and enhance recovery, so you can get back to doing what you love.

Common Injuries and Issues Our Sports Chiropractor Sees

We work with a wide range of sports injuries and movement-related concerns. The most common ones include:

  • Recurring sprained ankles and knee injuries
  • Tight hamstrings and quad imbalances
  • Shoulder and rotator cuff strain
  • Neck and back pain from impact or poor form
  • Muscle tension, headaches, and dizziness from spinal misalignments

No matter the issue, our sports chiropractic approach is to address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Our Sports Chiropractic Technique: Torque Release and the Integrator

We specialize in the Torque Release Technique, which is one of the most precise, non-invasive methods in chiropractic today. Using an instrument called the Integrator, we apply gentle impulses to specific points along the spine, triggering a neurological response that promotes balance, healing, and proper alignment.

Unlike traditional manual adjustments, this technique doesn’t involve twisting or cracking. It’s a powerful yet low-force method, ideal for athletes, individuals with past injuries, or those who prefer a gentler approach. It allows us to target areas with precision and make corrections that support your posture, mobility, and recovery without adding stress to your body.

What Makes a Sports Chiropractor Different

As a sports chiropractor, we are trained to understand how the musculoskeletal and nervous systems interact during physical activity. Athletic movement places stress on the body in unique ways. That’s why we use a combination of assessment tools, advanced chiropractic techniques, and patient-centered care to support better posture, faster recovery, and reduced tension.

We go beyond traditional care by focusing on how each joint, muscle, and nerve contributes to overall performance. Every treatment plan is tailored to your sport, your body, and your goals. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, looking for pain relief, or preparing for a competition, we’re here to support your wellness journey every step of the way.

Performance and Prevention Go Hand in Hand

Sports chiropractic isn’t just about fixing injuries, it’s about prevention and performance. Our treatment plans aim to improve movement patterns, restore balance, and keep the nervous system functioning at its best. The better your spine and joints move, the more efficiently your body performs.

Through regular adjustments  and movement education, many of our patients report improvements in reaction time, strength, coordination, and overall stamina. Our role is to be part of your training team, helping you avoid setbacks and stay on track with your goals.

The Role of Neuro Spinal Scans

Our neuro spinal scan technology plays a key role in assessing how your nervous system is functioning. We use a series of scans, including the sEMG Asymmetry and Amplitude Scans, Rolling Thermal EMG, and HRV (Heart Rate Variability), to understand nerve and muscle activity along the spine.

These tools give us a clear picture of how stress, misalignments, or injuries may be impacting your performance and recovery. By combining these insights with physical assessment and x-rays (only done at the discretion of the doctors), we create a treatment plan that’s backed by real data, not guesswork.

Facilities and Equipment Designed for Athletes

Our clinic serving Vancouver, BC, is equipped with advanced tools to support your health and recovery. We use a state-of-the-art digital x-ray to assess joint alignment and stress points. When x-rays are needed, we take only the most necessary views using low-exposure, environmentally friendly technology and most importantly only from advice of doctors. 

Our computerized scans provide real-time insight into muscle tension, spinal misalignments, and autonomic nervous system function. This includes:

  • sEMG scans to evaluate muscle and nerve activity
  • Thermal scans to detect temperature imbalances along the spine
  • HRV monitoring to assess how well your body is handling stress and recovery

All of these tools work together to give you a deeper understanding of your body’s function and how chiropractic care can support your overall performance and healing.

Addressing the Needs of Every Athlete

From CrossFit to distance running, from yoga to football, every sport demands something different from your muscles, joints, and posture. That’s why we tailor each sports chiropractic treatment plan around the way you move, what your sport requires, and what areas are under repetitive stress.

Whether you’re dealing with tight hips, shoulder tension, or foot pain, our clinic is equipped to assess and address these issues with a personalized approach. We collaborate with other practitioners like physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and trainers when necessary to ensure you get comprehensive care.

Q: What does a sports chiropractor do differently than a general chiropractor?

A: A sports chiropractor focuses on optimizing mobility, joint alignment, and musculoskeletal function to support athletic performance and recovery. These treatments are geared toward reducing tension, preventing injury, and improving conditioning, especially for individuals who are regularly active or train at high levels. By tailoring chiropractic adjustments to each athlete’s specific movement patterns, we help restore spine and joint function while promoting better performance and relief from common athletic pains.

 

Q: How often should I schedule appointments for chiropractic care if I’m active or play sports?

A: The frequency of appointments can vary depending on your activity level, injury history, and goals. After initial corrective care, some athletes benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions, while others come in monthly for maintenance care. During your initial analysis, we’ll assess your posture, alignment, and movement patterns to determine a schedule that suits your needs. Our goal is to support your health, mobility, and long-term wellness through consistent, individualized treatment plans.

 

Q: Can chiropractic adjustments help with arthritis and chronic pain?

A: Yes, many individuals with arthritis or chronic pains find that regular chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint function and reduce stiffness. While chiropractors don’t cure arthritis, we use gentle therapy techniques to help restore mobility and relieve pressure on the spine and surrounding musculoskeletal structures. This can contribute to better daily movement and a more comfortable life.

 

Q: Are sports chiropractic services safe for people of all ages?

A: Absolutely. Our clinic provides care for patients of all ages, from young athletes to seniors seeking to stay active. Each adjustment is customized to match the individual’s level of activity, health, and comfort. Whether you’re a teenager in sports, an adult training for a marathon, or simply looking for relief from work-related tension, our services are designed to support your specific wellness needs safely and effectively.

 

Q: What can I expect during my first sports chiropractic session?

A: Your first visit begins with a thorough consultation and analysis of your spine, posture, and movement. We may also discuss your exercise routines, performance goals, and any current pains or injuries. Using a combination of non-invasive therapy, gentle adjustments, and specific techniques like the Torque Release Technique (delivered without using hands), we aim to help you feel better and move better from the very first session. We also encourage new patients to read our reviews to get a sense of what others have experienced at our clinic.
