Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, sports injuries disrupt performance and sideline you from what you love. Pura Vida Chiropractic helps San Antonio athletes recover faster and perform better by addressing injury at its root.
Sports injuries range from acute traumatic events — such as sprains, fractures, and dislocations — to chronic overuse conditions like tendinopathy, stress fractures, and repetitive strain injuries. In most cases, the underlying issue is not just tissue damage but also a biomechanical dysfunction that predisposed the athlete to injury. Misalignments in the spine or extremities alter movement patterns, overload specific structures, and impair the nervous system's ability to coordinate muscles properly. Chiropractic care corrects these dysfunctions, accelerates tissue repair, and helps athletes return to sport more quickly and safely.
Dr. Foss evaluates not just the injured area but the entire kinetic chain — because a knee injury often reflects a pelvic imbalance, and a shoulder injury frequently originates in the thoracic spine. SOT adjustments restore proper joint alignment throughout the spine and extremities, correcting the mechanical dysfunctions that led to injury. He also addresses soft-tissue tension patterns that limit healing. Athletes appreciate the gentle, specific nature of SOT, which allows treatment even in the acute phase without aggravating the injury. The goal is to return you to full performance faster and more safely than rest alone would allow.
At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Foss uses Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) — a gentle, category-based system that addresses the spine, pelvis, and craniosacral rhythm as one integrated unit. SOT restores proper biomechanics, reduces nerve interference, and creates the neurological environment your body needs to heal itself.
For many patients, combining spinal correction with regenerative therapies produces faster and more lasting results. Depending on your condition, Dr. Foss may incorporate one or more of the following:
High-energy acoustic waves penetrate deep into tissue to break up calcifications, stimulate collagen production, and accelerate the body's natural repair process — all without surgery or downtime.
Patented unfocused shock waves spread over a broad treatment area to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and activate stem cells — promoting cellular regeneration and long-term pain relief.
Photobiomodulation with a 10–15W Class IV laser delivers therapeutic light energy deep into tissue, reducing inflammation, blocking pain signals, and speeding healing at the cellular level.
