Welcome to The Sports Chiro
Rehab • Recovery • Performance
The Sports Chiro is a cash-based sports chiropractic practice in Plano, TX, focused exclusively on athletes and active individuals. Located 30 seconds off the Dallas North Tollway at 5500 Democracy Dr, we serve competitive athletes, weekend warriors, and active adults from across Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and the surrounding DFW communities.
Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Chris Ward; no handoffs, no rushed appointments, no insurance restrictions. Just focused, efficient care built around your performance goals.
Why Athletes Choose The Sports Chiro
The Sports Chiro isn't a general wellness clinic. It's a sports-first practice built on the same performance principles Dr. Ward applies on the PGA Tour.
- PGA Tour expertise, applied locally. Dr. Ward is an active PGA Tour Medical Team Chiropractor, one of a small group of practitioners trusted to care for professional golfers at tour-level tournaments. That same standard of care is available at every appointment in Plano.
- Cash-based means more time with you. No insurance billing means no treatment restrictions, no rushed visits, and no one dictating your care plan. Sessions run 30 or 60 minutes, fully one-on-one.
- Sports injury is all we do. No family chiro. No general wellness. Every technique, every session, and every conversation is built around how athletes move, train, and recover.

Frequently Asked Questions
A sports chiropractor focuses on athletic performance and injury recovery, not just pain relief. At The Sports Chiro, treatment combines chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work (ART, FDM), dry needling, and corrective exercise, all tailored to how your body moves under athletic demand.
Not at all. Our patients range from PGA Tour professionals to weekend golfers, recreational runners, and active adults managing everyday pain. If movement matters to you, you're the right fit.
We don't bill insurance directly. You pay at the time of service, and we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We accept cash, debit/credit, HSA, and FSA. Many patients find that fewer, more focused sessions provide better value than traditional insurance-restricted care.
New patient exams are 30 minutes ($85). Follow-up visits are 30 minutes ($85). Performance sessions, which include chiropractic, soft tissue work, and a full rehab component, are 60 minutes ($160).
