From the Field to Full Function

As the official chiropractor for the Warriors Baseball Team of Rochester Christian College, Dr. Derek Elwart understands the demands athletes place on their bodies. Whether you're a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, sports injuries require specialized care that addresses both the injury and the performance demands you'll face when you return.

Our Sports Injury Toolkit

Extremity Adjusting

Beyond the spine, Dr. Elwart is trained in adjusting every joint in the body — ankles, knees, shoulders, wrists, and elbows. Proper joint alignment is critical for injury recovery and prevention.

PiezoWave® Shockwave Therapy

This cutting-edge technology is used by professional sports teams worldwide. It delivers targeted acoustic waves to damaged tissue, accelerating the healing process and reducing recovery time.

Spinal Decompression

For athletes with disc injuries from impact sports, our decompression therapy provides non-surgical relief and promotes disc healing.

The Athlete's Edge: Maintenance Care

• Maintain optimal joint alignment and mobility
• Prevent injuries before they happen
• Improve overall athletic performance
• Speed recovery between training sessions and competitions
