Sports Chiropractor in Mooresville
Whether you’re chasing a state championship, pushing to make the pros, or simply staying active in a local league, injuries and discomfort can sideline you from the sports you love. At Lake Norman Chiropractic, we understand that every athlete—from Little League All-Stars to senior pickleball players—needs specialized care to safely return to competition. Dr. Todd Abernathy and our team provide sport-specific care designed around your position, your goals, and your body’s unique demands.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all recovery plans. Our approach combines chiropractic adjustments with targeted strength training, mobility work, and rehabilitation strategies that address not just the primary injury, but the secondary issues that often develop along the kinetic chain. This means we’re looking at the whole picture: how your shoulder affects your throwing motion, how a hip imbalance impacts your running stride, and how each factor influences your ability to get back in the game efficiently and safely.
Expertise That Sets Us Apart
Dr. Abernathy is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP), a distinction held by less than 1% of chiropractors nationwide. This advanced certification reflects his commitment to staying at the forefront of sports medicine and rehabilitation techniques. He teaches continuing education courses to other healthcare professionals and serves as a consultant for multiple professional sports teams, bringing that same level of expertise to every patient who walks through our doors.
Our experience spans across all levels of athletic performance. We’ve worked with NFL players preparing for the demands of professional football, youth athletes navigating growth-related challenges, and senior competitors staying active in pickleball and golf. No matter your age or sport, you’ll receive care informed by decades of experience treating athletes at every level.
Personalized, Position-Specific Care
Understanding your sport and position allows us to create rehabilitation plans that match your real-world demands. A pitcher needs different shoulder mechanics than a quarterback, and a point guard’s ankle stability requirements differ from a soccer midfielder’s. We take time to understand not just what hurts, but how you move, what your sport requires, and what success looks like for you.
Our care integrates chiropractic adjustments with functional exercises that rebuild strength and restore proper movement patterns. We set realistic return-to-play timelines based on your body’s healing process and your sport’s specific demands, never rushing recovery at the expense of long-term health.
Supporting Athletes Through Every Stage
Over 25 years serving the Mooresville community, we’ve built relationships with local schools, sports organizations, and the VA system, which regularly refers veterans who want to stay active. We understand that athletic goals look different for everyone—some are training for a scholarship opportunity, others are maintaining fitness after military service, and many compete in recreational leagues. What matters to us is helping you reach your personal best while minimizing future injury risk.
We also know that trust matters. You need straight answers about your recovery timeline, honest assessments of what’s realistic, and a care plan that respects your schedule and budget.
