Yes. Chiropractic care that combines adjustments, soft-tissue work, and targeted exercises can help tennis players and golfers move better, recover from aches and strains, and keep playing. At Ember Active Performance in Colorado Springs, Dr. Delmi Barrera, DC, a lifelong tennis player, builds every plan around getting you back to your game.
Why it's personal: at 18, a pinched nerve took Dr. Barrera off the tennis court for weeks. Rest, stretching, and over-the-counter medicine only helped for a while. A chiropractor who examined him, explained what was going on, and treated it got him back on the court, and that's why he became a chiropractor.
Problems we commonly see
Tennis: tennis elbow, shoulder pain, wrist pain, low-back pain from serving and twisting, and tight hips and calves.
Golf: low-back pain, golfer's elbow, stiff mid-back and hips that limit your turn, and neck pain.
How we help
An assessment of how you move, including rotation, which drives both the tennis stroke and the golf swing. Adjustments to restore joint motion. Soft-tissue work: Active Release Techniques, instrument-assisted scraping, cupping, and dry needling. Spinal decompression for disc-related back and neck pain. Exercises to build strength and mobility so the problem doesn't come back.

Usually not. When it's safe, we'll adjust how much you play rather than sidelining you, and we'll tell you if you need a break.
