BackFit Health + Spine provides chiropractic care for sports injuries at its locations across the Greater Phoenix area and Colorado's Front Range. The clinic treats a variety of sports-related conditions through non-invasive methods that support recovery and long-term performance.
Sports injuries occur during exercise or physical activity and can result from poor training practices, improper gear, accidents, overexertion, or insufficient warm-up and stretching. According to studies, nearly 8.6 million people between the ages of 5 and 24 in the United States experience a sports injury each year. These injuries affect athletes and active individuals alike, regardless of the specific sport or activity level.
Common sports injuries treated at BackFit Health + Spine include knee injuries, shoulder injuries, elbow injuries, hamstring strains, sciatica, shin splints, groin pulls, concussions, ACL tears, hip flexor strains, sprains, strains, fractures, muscle tears, tendonitis, and stress fractures. The clinic addresses both acute traumatic injuries and overuse injuries through a multidisciplinary approach that combines chiropractic care, physical therapy, and medical services.
Treatments focus on restoring joint function, reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and supporting natural healing. Methods include chiropractic adjustments using techniques such as Gonstead, Diversified, Activator, and Flexion/Distraction; spinal decompression; soft tissue therapies; trigger point injections; and customized rehabilitation exercises. The integrative model allows for coordinated care under one roof, helping patients return to activity safely and effectively.
Dr. Jacob "Jake" Hanson, DC, chiropractor at the Arcadia location in Phoenix, holds a Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic and is board certified in chiropractic and physiotherapy. Certified in manipulation under anesthesia, he emphasizes functional and corrective exercises in rehabilitation. "Functional and corrective exercises play a role in rehabilitation, supporting recovery from musculoskeletal injuries through targeted approaches," Hanson said.
Dr. Zak Goodman, DC, chiropractor at the Desert Ridge location in Phoenix, earned a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in 2017. With a background in athletic training and exercise science, Goodman focuses on root-cause care. "Collaborative methods in chiropractic and physiotherapy address sports injuries by considering overall wellness factors," Goodman said.
Dr. Jeffrey Vinck, D.C., chiropractor at the West Phoenix location, graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 1999. Certified in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology by the Spine Research Institute of San Diego, he participated in full-scale crash testing and has extensive experience in accident and injury care. "Prompt evaluation following sports injuries allows for targeted interventions that address soft tissue damage and support safe return to activity," Vinck said.
The clinic recommends the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) for initial management of minor to moderate injuries. For more significant cases, patients receive same-day appointments with full diagnostic x-rays and labs on-site when necessary. Treatment plans are individualized, incorporating chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, medical care, orthopedic sports medicine, KT taping, bracing, and other modalities to stabilize the injured area and promote healing.
BackFit Health + Spine operates as a family-founded integrative medical clinic established in 2002. It combines chiropractic, medical, physical therapy, and wellness services at multiple locations, including Phoenix (Arcadia and Desert Ridge), Chandler (Ray Rd. and Ocotillo Rd.), Gilbert, Mesa, Goodyear, Queen Creek, Surprise, Tucson (North and South), and West Phoenix in Arizona, as well as Broomfield, Aurora, Fort Collins, Cherry Hills, Golden, Centennial, and Colorado Springs in Colorado.
National health surveys show increasing reliance on chiropractic care for sports injury recovery and pain management. Systematic reviews indicate that spinal manipulative therapy produces effects similar to recommended therapies for chronic low back pain and may offer better functional improvement. In Arizona and Colorado, active populations seek integrated options that address both acute injuries and overuse conditions.
The clinic’s patient-centered approach includes thorough evaluations, patient education on proper warm-up techniques, stretching, body mechanics, and nutrition to support prevention and long-term wellness. This comprehensive model helps individuals of all activity levels recover effectively and reduce the risk of future injuries.
The provision of chiropractic care for sports injuries in Greater Phoenix & Colorado's Front Range supports regional needs for effective, non-invasive treatment options. With multiple convenient locations, patients can access coordinated care close to home.
BackFit Health + Spine continues to assist individuals in managing pain and enhancing health through licensed professionals and practices based on physiology and exercise science. The organization remains committed to helping patients move better, feel better, and live better.
