Meet Our Team

At Empower Sports Chiropractic, we treat everyone like a professional athlete, whether you’re a runner, a weekend warrior, or a player returning from surgery.  You’ll work one‑on‑one with specialists who combine chiropractic care, performance physical therapy, and sports massage into longer, focused sessions. 

Our Care Philosophy

We’re a low‑volume, research‑backed clinic built around your goals. 


From the first visit, we’ll assess how you move, identify the true drivers of pain or limitation, and create a plan that combines the right techniques, including, but not limited to, adjustments, manual therapy, corrective exercise, and modalities such as dry needling, shockwave, and blood flow restriction. 


Expect clear guidance, measurable progress, and support between visits.
