Lacrosse is a fast, physical sport that demands speed, agility, endurance, and mental focus.
For middle school and high school players, repetitive running, cutting, contact, and shooting
place significant stress on the body.
At Back to Life Chiropractic, we help lacrosse athletes stay healthy, recover
properly, and perform at their best throughout the season.
Common Lacrosse Injuries We Address
- Ankle sprains and foot injuries
- Knee pain and overuse injuries
- Hip and groin tightness
- Low back pain
- Shoulder, elbow, and wrist injuries
- Neck stiffness from contact and posture
Poor foot mechanics, posture, or spinal motion can increase injury risk and limit
performance during practices and games.
Complete Lacrosse Athlete Evaluation
3D Foot Analysis
We evaluate all three arches of the feet. Abnormal arch height can lead to
poor shock absorption, abnormal knee and hip rotation, pelvic imbalance, spinal curvatures,
and back pain—especially during sprinting and cutting.
Posture Analysis (Visual or X-Ray)
Abnormal posture can lead to muscle spasms, disc problems, joint stress, fatigue,
and recurring injuries. Correcting posture helps joints function properly,
improves muscle balance, and increases energy.
Spinal & Neurological Exam
- Motion Palpation
- Thermal Scanning
- Surface EMG
- Range of Motion Testing
- Pulse Wave Analysis
Lacrosse Recovery & Performance Therapies
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint motion in the spine and extremities,
reduce nerve interference, and support optimal athletic performance.
Extremity Adjustments
We address fixated joints in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles,
feet, toes, and TMJ—areas commonly stressed in lacrosse.
Intersegmental Traction
Mechanical traction helps reduce joint stiffness, restore spinal mobility,
improve disc health, and support recovery during the season.
Soft Tissue Therapy (Nimmo Therapy)
Helps reduce muscle tightness, trigger points, spasms, and improves circulation
to speed recovery.
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-invasive, drug-free laser therapy helps accelerate healing by increasing
cellular energy (ATP) and reducing inflammation.
KT Taping
KT Tape provides lightweight support to muscles and joints while allowing
full movement during practices and games.
Foot Support & Sleep Recovery
- Custom Foot Leveler Orthotics – Made from laser foot scans
- Heel & Shoe Lifts – Correct leg length discrepancies
- Tricore Pillows – Support proper neck curvature during sleep
Strength, Conditioning & Nutrition Support
Strength, Cardio & Flexibility Training

- Cardio conditioning for endurance
- Flexibility techniques to restore balance and range of motion
Circuit training classes are available through the Crash Fitness Center.
Nutritional Assessment
- Balance Body Chemistry
- ZYTO Scan

We guide athletes using scientific analysis instead of guessing what supplements to take.
Mental Training & Stress Reduction for Lacrosse
Lacrosse requires focus, confidence, and controlled intensity. We help athletes
develop mental resilience using visualization and mental training techniques
used by high-level athletes.
Stress reduction restores balance to the nervous system, allowing the body
to heal, function properly, and perform consistently.
Sports Physicals for Lacrosse Players
Sports physicals include a medical history and physical examination to evaluate
overall health, fitness level, injury risk, and readiness to compete.
Ready to Get in the Game?
Some athletes only need a few services, while others benefit from a comprehensive
performance-based approach. The best place to start is with an
