When you visit Dr. Tucker, an expert in sports chiropractic care who has been practicing for over 20 years, you can rest assured that you will be taking a step in the right direction to address your sports injuries. Your main goal is to treat your injury in order to offer you relief and take you a step closer to getting back into the athletic lifestyle that is a part of you. Dr. Tucker will perform a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of your injury using information from your team of physicians to identify your injury and the best course of action for treatment. When you are receiving adjustments, Dr. Tucker uses the Activator Method. Gone are the days when chiropractors only performed manual manipulations that were less precise and could be painful in the process. The Activator Method uses the latest in technology, delivering low-displacement pulses to the parts of the spine that will benefit from adjustment. The pulses are precise and delivered at a high speed, shifting the spine into the proper position. With each adjustment, you can feel relief and improve your body’s ability to heal.

Dr. Tucker can also give you advice about at-home care and exercises you can perform in order to speed up your recovery. With Dr. Tucker providing chiropractic for athletes and the team of professionals at Tucker Chiropractic you can put your sports injury behind you to get back to what you love to do.
