Sports Chiropractor in San Antonio, TX

Chiropractic care has received significant attention for its successful management of sports injuries. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a student athlete, or a professional competitor, sports chiropractic care at Pura Vida Chiropractic helps you recover faster, perform better, and prevent future injuries.

Dr. Foss treats a full range of sports-related conditions including sprains and strains, shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, AC joint), knee pain, hip issues, ankle injuries, plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, and spinal conditions from athletic impact.

Sports chiropractic care addresses the musculoskeletal system comprehensively — not just the site of pain — so you get to the root of the problem and achieve real, lasting recovery.

Dr. Foss uses the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) to evaluate and correct the biomechanical imbalances that drive both acute injuries and chronic overuse patterns. When the pelvis and spine are properly aligned, the extremities function more efficiently and injury risk decreases significantly.

The complementary therapies available at Pura Vida Chiropractic are especially valuable for athletes. SoftWave therapy activates stem cells and growth factors to accelerate tissue repair. Class IV laser therapy reduces inflammation and speeds muscle recovery. Shockwave therapy breaks up calcifications and releases trigger points in chronically overloaded tendons and muscles.

Many athletes also seek chiropractic care not just for injuries but for performance optimization. A well-aligned body transmits force more efficiently, has better neuromuscular coordination, and recovers faster between training sessions. Preventive sports chiropractic can be the competitive edge that makes a real difference.
