Injuries happen—whether you're a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or someone who simply loves to stay active. The key isn’t just recovering—it's recovering well, with a plan that helps you come back stronger than before. At Ascend Chiropractic, our sports rehab approach is designed to get you moving better, faster, and with more confidence.
With a team of ART Elite Providers, soft tissue specialists, and movement experts, we help athletes in Lincoln recover from sprains, strains, overuse injuries, and more—with a focus on full-body alignment, muscle function, and long-term performance.
What Makes Sports Rehab at Ascend Different?
We don’t do cookie-cutter care. Every injury, sport, and athlete is different—so we build rehab plans that match your movement needs and training goals. Our providers take the time to figure out where your body’s breaking down, not just where it hurts.
Whether it’s a shoulder that won’t fully extend, a tight hamstring that keeps pulling, or an ankle that still feels unstable months later, we treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
How We Treat Sports Injuries
Our rehab process blends multiple techniques that address both structure and soft tissue:
-
Active Release Technique (ART): Breaks up adhesions and restores normal movement in overused or injured tissues
-
Cupping and IASTM: Increases circulation and reduces muscle tension and inflammation
-
Dry Needling: Targets trigger points and stimulates healing in deep muscle tissues
-
Chiropractic Adjustments: Improve joint mobility and alignment, which supports efficient, pain-free movement
-
Targeted Rehab Exercises: Build strength, stability, and control where it matters most for your sport
You’ll also learn how to move smarter—reducing the risk of reinjury and improving performance in the process.
