THE FIRST VISIT

THE SOLUTION TO YOUR SPORTS INJURIES

The Solution To Your Sports Injuries

What To Expect On Your First Visit: Understanding how well your body moves, performs, and recovers is critical. Nearly half of all sports-related injuries are caused by overuse and non-contact incidents. These injuries are preventable if specific risk factors are identified through Sport-Specific Movement Efficiency Testing. 

 

  • Reviewing your medical history.

 

  • Sport-Specific Movement Efficiency Exam: Assessing + diagnosing your condition and needs . Within this exam, you will be given specific data and information on how well your body is performing and moving. 

 

  • Personalized Practitioner Performance Treatment:  Based on exam findings, the doctor will spend time working on specific muscle groups that may or may not work efficiently. This may also include previously injured areas or future areas of concern. While this first session will be performed during your initial visit, keep in mind that it usually takes between 4-8 treatments to resolve findings. 

 

  • At the end of your initial visit, a treatment schedule + plan will be created to monitor and fine-tune your body. This plan accounts for your overall health, lifestyle and activities. A customized course of exercises will be created to help you set and reach physical goals.

 

  • So, What Do We Actually Do?

    SPARK provides each client with assessment tools in the form of a sports physical and sport-specific movement efficiency exam. 


    In turn, this provides us with a working diagnosis of your neurological and musculoskeletal systems. 

    • Once the appropriate working diagnosis has been made, a conservative management plan is then developed. 
    • This plan is designed to treat both the area of injury and improve your overall function and performance.   
  • What Is A Sports-Efficiency Exam?

    At SPARK, Dr. Norton performs a Sport-Specific Movement Efficiency Exam. This exam is far different from a typical "physical" exam and therefore is the foundation that sets us apart from the typical chiropractic or sports-physical experience. 


    Here, we emphasize the importance of assessing joint health and mobility, strength, flexibility, and posture. Understanding how well your body moves, performs, and recovers is critical to your performance. 

    • Within this exam, you will be given specific tests backed by data on how well your neurological and musculoskeletal systems are firing and functioning. 
    • We focus on musculoskeletal deficiencies and imbalances in order to develop a program to strengthen and maximize your body's peak performance. 
    • Based on this functional exam, a two-part care program will be set in place to help you achieve your maximum potential both on and off the field.  

What Happens After the First Visit? 

Based on the initial exam, a two-part care program will be set in place to help you achieve your maximum potential on and off the field. 

 

  • Part One - Self-Care through Digital System: Your performance is critical to your success. We use a state of the art program to help track your progress. A set of comprehensive self-care exercises and routines are prescribed based on all of your deficiencies and imbalances. We are also able to track your stretches, diet, workout regimen, sleep habits, and even your daily stress level. The use of this tool helps to not only minimize your injuries but to also enhance and SPARK your performance. You will be given access to the Digital System through an app. 

 

  • Part Two - SPARK Treatment Sessions:   The first session will be performed during your initial visit, however, it usually takes between 4-8 treatments to resolve findings. From there, a new treatment plan will be created to fit your specific lifestyle and activities. Treatment sessions may be more spread out as they will be customized to your specific needs in order to maximize your overall health and performance.
