FAQ

A sports chiropractor focuses on helping athletes and active individuals recover from injuries, improve mobility, and enhance performance. At The Sports Chiro, we combine chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and rehab/strength training to get you back to moving and performing at your best.

Most patients feel only a small pinch or twitch response during dry needling. Any discomfort is brief, and the treatment often provides fast relief for muscle tightness, soreness, and pain.

Our 30-minute sessions focus on pain relief and mobility. A performance session (60 minutes) adds more time for strength and conditioning exercises, rehab progressions, and performance optimization tailored to your sport or activity.

Yes — all of our treatment sessions blend chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and targeted rehab. This integrated approach ensures you not only feel better but also build strength and resilience to prevent future injuries.

While many of our patients are athletes, we treat anyone who wants to move better, recover faster, and stay active — from weekend warriors to busy professionals.

You can easily schedule online or call our office at 945-361-9239. We offer both 30-minute and 60-minute sessions depending on your needs.

FDM is a hands-on treatment approach that targets restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue around muscles and joints. It helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal movement.

ART® is effective for treating overuse injuries, repetitive strain conditions, muscle tightness, tendon pain, and nerve entrapments. It’s widely used by athletes for recovery and performance.

No. While both use thin needles, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and targets muscle trigger points, while acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. They help restore joint motion, reduce stiffness, and improve function.

Not at all. While these treatments are trusted by professional athletes, they are just as effective for anyone dealing with pain, tightness, or mobility issues.

If you’re experiencing pain, tightness, or limited mobility, chiropractic care may help. At The Sports Chiro in Plano, we’ll evaluate your condition and create a plan tailored to your needs.

We are an out-of-network, cash-based practice, which means we do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to provide you with longer, more personalized sessions focused on your specific goals — without the restrictions or limitations insurance companies often impose.

Insurance companies often dictate what treatments are “covered” and how much time providers can spend with each patient. By staying independent, we’re able to focus on what actually helps you recover and perform better — not what an insurance code allows. This approach gives you one-on-one care, no surprise bills, and no rushed visits.

Yes. Many of our patients submit their visit receipts (called “superbills”) to their insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We’re happy to provide the necessary documentation to make that process easy for you.

We accept cash, debit/credit cards, HSA, and FSA cards. Payment is collected at the time of service.

Not necessarily. Because our visits are longer and more comprehensive, most patients need fewer total appointments to get results. When you factor in time saved, quicker recovery, and no hidden costs, it’s often a better overall value than traditional in-network care.
