Sports Chiropractic in Mankato
When people live more active lives, there’s a positive effect on overall health. Unfortunately, more activity can lead to an injury. Sports injuries can be minor, but when pain continues, with no sign of healing, it’s time to see a chiropractor.
At Rignell Family Chiropractic, we see athletes of all ages and abilities. These include casual golfers, those getting back into the gym after a long period of inactivity, active CrossFitters, college athletes, and professional dancers.

FAQs
How does sports chiropractic help?
Muscles function much better after an adjustment. Athletes recover faster from injury when restricted joints are released. An athlete himself, Dr. Rignell wants to safely return you to activity, not just healed, but stronger.
How is sports chiropractic different from regular chiropractic?
We also treat injuries that come up during your sport and help prevent those injuries. With sports chiropractic, we often address joint issues, not just ones related to the spine. Common areas we work on besides the spine include shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, wrist and ankle.
Whether you’re competing at a high level in your sport, just starting out or wanting to become more active, we can customize a care plan that is right for you.
Can regular care improve my golf game?
Studies have found that a golf swing can exert a compressive force on the spine eight times a person’s body weight. Having a healthy and fully functioning spine can not only improve your swing, but also prevent injuries to ensure you can stay on the course.
