Kimball Chiropractic

Provo Chiropractor Sport Therapy

Kimball Chiropractic is focused on bringing the latest researched proven techniques to our clinic. The treatments that we have available are especially focused on helping those with active lifestyles. Chiropractic has long been associated with some of the greatest sports figures out there. A few of the techniques that we utilize in our office are Active Release Technique, Graston, and Pettibon. Not only are these techniques very effective, but also the tests we use to figure out what’s going on and what treatments to use are just as effective.

Sports Therapy Methods from a Provo Chiropractor

Active Release Technique ® or ART®, is a soft tissue treatment that is used by the greatest Ironman triathletes and the casual active person alike. It focuses on finding the areas in your muscles or ligaments or tendons that have adhesions or scar tissue, and removing them to enable the motion of the muscles to return to its peak potential. This technique is very effective and is not uncomfortable at all. ART has been considered so valuable that some NFL teams, including the Denver Broncos, have a doctor on the team whose sole purpose is treating the players with ART.

“The most important man on the team may have been the chiropractor. I could not have won without my Chiropractor’s help.”
Lance Armstrong

Graston® is another soft tissue technique that has been proven to get great results with acute and chronic soft tissue injuries. So effective, it is used by almost every professional and collegiate team out there including the Utah Jazz, BYU, University of Utah, and UVU. It consists of applying a smooth lotion over the treatment area, and running a metal tool over the area to help breakdown scar tissue and adhesions and promote proper healing at the effected area. Most regular everyday people will gather these micro-scars and adhesions throughout their lives and not even know it.

Pettibon® is a complete treatment that focuses on restoring the proper spinal curves and treating the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, not just the issues with the bone. Pettibon is effective in helping relieve the pressure on the spinal cord and nerves by helping restore the posture back to its natural state. Pettibon is utilized and is a part of every patient’s treatment, not just those with sport injuries.

“I am not a good enough expert on what chiropractic entails…. But it has been great for me and for my family.”
