Sports Injury Treatment

Chiropractic Care That Keeps You Moving

Whether you’re pushing your limits at the gym, training for your next competition, or just staying active on weekends, sports injuries can slow you down. At Crater Chiropractic, we help athletes and active individuals in Medford, OR recover from injuries, reduce pain, and improve performance with chiropractic care that’s tailored to your body and your goals.

You don’t have to be a pro athlete to benefit from expert care. Our team works with teens, adults, and everyday athletes who want to heal right and return to the activities they love—without relying on medications or invasive treatments.

Why Athletes Choose Chiropractic Care

Target the Source of Pain: Sports injuries often involve more than one area of the body. Our exams focus on joint function, posture, and muscular balance to identify the root of the problem—not just the symptoms.

Support Natural Recovery: Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and functional rehab help the body heal on its own, while improving circulation, flexibility, and control.

Prevent Future Injuries: Small dysfunctions can lead to big problems if left unaddressed. Regular care supports your biomechanics, helping you move smarter and avoid setbacks.

Customized for Your Sport: Whether you’re swinging a bat, sprinting down a field, or hiking Rogue Valley trails, we adapt our approach to the demands of your lifestyle and training.
