What is sports medicine?

Sports medicine focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries related to physical activity. It’s designed for anyone who enjoys movement — from competitive athletes to individuals beginning a new exercise routine. The goal is to help patients recover safely, optimize performance, and build strength and flexibility that support long-term joint and muscle health.

At Herald Square Chiropractic and Sport, the sports medicine team takes an integrative approach that combines chiropractic care, physical therapy, and regenerative techniques. This ensures that each patient receives a customized plan tailored to their unique needs and athletic goals.
