Johnston Iowa Sports Chiropractors
As a CrossFit athlete and a marathon runner respectively, Drs. Walker and Allison understand the benefits of staying active in everyday life. They also understand the physical stress and common injuries that can result from participating in our favorite athletic activity. When we are in pain or can’t move well, we can’t perform well. Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston is here to help you improve your body’s ability to do everything in life at the highest capacity you can, whether that be CrossFit, running, or whatever you do for activity. When we are functioning at our best, those improvements translate to playing a better round of golf, running more miles, increasing your flexibility and range of motion, increasing strength or simply decreasing inflammation and recovery time so you can do it all again tomorrow.
In study after study, chiropractic care outperforms other medical options at reducing pain and restoring normal function. Apart from housing the nervous system, the spinal column helps to anchor muscles throughout your body, so good posture, muscle strength and spinal health are all interconnected. It’s no wonder that an estimated 90% of all world-class athletes routinely use chiropractic care to prevent injuries and boost performance, including all NFL teams, 72% of PGA golfers, and the majority of NBA, MLB, and NHL teams.
Some incredible benefits include:
A 6.12% performance increase after receiving chiropractic treatment
A 30% improvement in hand-eye coordination after 12 weeks of chiropractic care
Improved muscle strength and long jump distance in MLB players
Boosted speed, flexibility, range of motion, balance and strength in NBA players
Maintained, sometimes increased, training mileage in 100% of runners with joint problems in one study
Improved postural imbalances in golfers that translate to a better swing and prevent injury

Knee Pain in Sports and How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Patellofemoral knee pain, also known as runner's knee, is a common issue among athletes and active individuals. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment option for patellofemoral knee pain. At Clarity Chiropractic in Des Moines, we use various techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain in the affected area. We may also provide advice on exercises and stretches to help strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and improve overall function. Chiropractic care near me for patellofemoral knee pain is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that may offer relief and improve mobility for those suffering from this condition.
We see this injury quite a bit in our practice. We help athletes primarily in the Johnston, Grimes and Ankeny, Iowa area with knee pain, mostly focused around the IT band and the kneecap or patella. What we commonly see is tightness in the IT band, leading to misalignment of the patella and tibial rotation. Most commonly this injury is seen as untreatable, but at Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston, that is not the case. Contact our office if you have knee pain and see how chiropractic care can change your life.

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain and Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
As a chiropractor at Clarity Chiropractic, I frequently treat patients with shoulder impingement. Shoulder impingement is a common condition characterized by pain across the front of the shoulder and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. Chiropractic care near me can be an effective treatment option for this condition, focusing on improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the muscles surrounding the shoulder. At Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston, we use a variety of techniques, including adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, and exercises to address the root cause of shoulder impingement and alleviate symptoms. Our goal is to provide personalized, patient-centered care that promotes healing, restores function, and helps patients achieve optimal health and wellness.
Shoulder impingement is the number two cause of pain in olympic lifters, second only to knee pain. We commonly see shoulders that are rolled forward and bad posture being a cause of shoulder impingement. This is something we help with every single day in our office on our CrossFit athletes and non athletes. Call or text our office to see if Chiropractic care near me can be an effective treatment option for your shoulder pain.
