You tweaked something skiing at Winter Park. Or your knee started acting up halfway through training for the BolderBOULDER. Maybe your shoulder’s been killing you since that pickup basketball game at the rec center last month.
Whatever happened, you don’t want to sit on the sidelines forever. You want to get back out there.
We’re a sports medicine clinic in Denver that treats athletes and active people who refuse to give up what they love. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or you’ve been crushing trail runs in the foothills for years, we help you recover from injuries and get rid of pain. Schedule an appointment and let’s get you moving right again.
Real Sports Medicine for Real Denver Athletes
You need more than “rest and ice.” You need someone who understands that telling an active person to “just stop running for six months” isn’t realistic. We treat runners, cyclists, skiers, climbers, weekend warriors – people who live here because of what you can do outside.
Our sports medicine clinic combines chiropractic care with specialty treatments that actually work. Our team has experience with sports injuries and orthopedics. We don’t just tape you up and send you home. We figure out what’s wrong, fix it, and help you get stronger so it doesn’t happen again. Every patient gets a personalized treatment plan.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Runner’s Knee and IT Band Issues You’re putting in miles on the Cherry Creek path or Highline Canal, and suddenly your knee starts screaming. IT band syndrome, runner’s knee, patellar tendinitis – we see it constantly. Research shows these respond really well to the right treatment, and we’ve helped hundreds of Colorado runners get back on track.
Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Problems Climbing at Movement. Swimming laps at the rec. Throwing a ball with your kids at Wash Park. Shoulder injuries shut down everything. We treat rotator cuff issues, impingement, shoulder tendinitis – get you back to full range of motion without surgery.
Ankle Sprains and Chronic Instability Rolled your ankle on a trail run at Red Rocks? Playing volleyball? Just stepping off a curb wrong? Ankle sprains are common, but if you don’t rehab them right, they keep happening. We make sure they heal properly.
Lower Back Pain from Golf or Cycling That twisting motion in golf wrecks lower backs. So does staying hunched over bike handlebars for hours. We help golfers and cyclists address the mechanics causing pain so you can keep playing.
Tennis Elbow and Overuse Injuries Not just from tennis – we see this in climbers, people who work with tools, anyone doing repetitive motions. Overuse injuries need specific treatment to actually heal, not just rest.
Shin Splints and Stress Fractures Training too hard too fast? Running on concrete? Shin splints and stress reactions are your body saying “slow down.” We help you recover and build back up safely.
Our Sports Medicine Approach
Chiropractic Care for Athletes
Athletes need their bodies aligned and moving right. When your spine, hips, or shoulders are off, everything compensates. We do targeted adjustments that help your body move the way it’s supposed to.
Active Release Technique
This is hands-on work that breaks up scar tissue and adhesions in muscles and tendons. Great for chronic injuries, tight IT bands, stubborn shoulder issues. It’s not massage – it’s targeted treatment.
Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
We don’t just treat the injury. We figure out why it happened and help you fix the weakness or imbalance that caused it. Our physical therapy approach focuses on functional recovery – getting you back to your sport safely. You’ll get exercises and stretches specific to your sport and your body.
Laser Therapy
Reduces inflammation deep in tissues. Speeds up healing. Works great for tendinitis, muscle strains, ligament injuries. Non-invasive, no downtime.
Custom Orthotics for Athletes
Sometimes the problem starts with your feet. Bad running form, flat arches, overpronation – all of it travels up and causes knee pain, hip pain, back pain. Custom orthotics can fix the foundation.
Kinesiology Taping
Strategic taping that supports injured areas without limiting movement. Helps with stability, reduces pain, allows you to stay active during recovery.

Injury Prevention and Performance
Sports medicine isn’t just about treating injuries. It’s about preventing them and helping you perform better. We look at your movement patterns, your training load, your recovery habits. Small adjustments can mean the difference between staying healthy and being sidelined.
A lot of athletes come in after they’re already hurt. Smart ones come in before that happens. We can identify weaknesses and imbalances before they become injuries.
