Chiropractic Sports Medicine is a type of chiropractic treatment that focuses on the care of sports-related injuries and injury prevention. Sports chiropractors are qualified to assess and treat musculoskeletal injuries, such as spinal fixations, disc bulges/herniations, sprains, strains, fibrotic adhesions, trigger points and various other joint and soft tissue injuries. Sports Chiropractors utilize adjustments, soft tissue therapy (Graston/Scraping, Active Release Technique, Cupping, Stretching), Physiotherapy/therapeutic exercise and joint mobilization. They also help athletes improve their performance, balance, and movement by providing custom programs, exercises, diets, and ergonomic advice. Sports chiropractic can help athletes feel and move better, enhance their muscle tone and strength, reduce their risk of injury, and speed up their recovery time.

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Functional Medicine go hand in hand. Your provider at ALPHA CARE will do a detailed exam and medical history review before ordering comprehensive blood work. Once these labs are analyzed, a plan for optimizing blood chemistry and your quality of life will be discussed. This very often will include hormone replacement therapy (we offer both natural treatment and bio-identical Rx hormones). The functional medicine model of care offers a patient-centered approach to chronic disease management. It seeks to answer the question, “Why are you ill?” so you can receive personalized, effective care for your needs.

Functional medicine providers spend time listening to you and gathering your medical history. We then order comprehensive diagnostic testing to analyze sub-optimal biochemistry (sometimes "In Range" isn't good enough). We use this information to identify the root cause(s) of the illness, including triggers such as hormone imbalances, poor nutrition, stress, toxins, allergens, genetics and your microbiome (the bacteria living in and on your body).

Once we identify the triggers, we can customize a healthy living plan for you. Your plan will address many aspects of your life, from physical needs, including nutrition, exercise, and sleep, to mental and emotional stressors. In addition to lifestyle modifications your provider may recommend various nutraceuticals, hormone replacement therapy and medications when necessary.
