Why Choose Chiropractic Care for Sports Injuries?
Traditional medicine relies on medication and physical therapy to treat sports injuries. While these, of course, have their place, chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach to healing that focuses on the body's inherent ability to heal itself.
Sports chiropractors are trained to identify and address musculoskeletal misalignments, also known as subluxations, in the spine and joints. These misalignments can affect nerve function, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion – all of which can hinder athletic performance and recovery.
AA Spine & Rehab and Dr. Amina Ahmad have extensive experience in treating and rehabbing every type of sports injury. In her career, Dr. Amina Ahmad has worked with professional athletes in all the major sports with outstanding results.
Please note: When your care is complex, Dr. Amina Ahmad will establish a relationship with your other practitioners and specialists to work as a team to get you healthy as quickly as possible.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Athletes
There are many benefits for athletes who incorporate chiropractic care into their rehabilitation. A few of the more important ones are:
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint mobility and alleviate pain associated with sports injuries like sprains, strains, and tendonitis.
Chiropractic care can help restore proper joint function, allowing athletes to regain their full range of motion for optimal performance.
By addressing underlying misalignments, chiropractic care can improve balance, coordination, and flexibility, leading to better athletic performance.
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve blood flow and promote faster healing after injuries.
Regular chiropractic care can help identify potential problems before they become major injuries, allowing athletes to stay healthy and active.
AA Spine & Rehab passionately believes that preventative care is every bit as important as a fast, complete recovery and work hard with our patients to ensure they develop awareness and strong habits to stay healthy for years.

Testing Coordination
Treatment for an injury or disease is never straight forward, neither are the diagnostic tools needed to determine the trouble and track how the treatments are progressing.
This can be bewildering and scheduling – while being aware of the relative importance of each individual test and how they fit into your overall recovery – a nightmare. Particularly when you’re expected to travel to different clinics and labs.
AA Spine and Rehab collaborates with our patients to help them find the most convenient (and insurance friendly) hospitals, testing centers, and labs. Our philosophy is simple: the more stress we take off you, the quicker you heal.
It’s stressful. That’s why AA Spine & Rehab works with our clients to see that the insurance ‘is done right.’
