Sports Chiropractic Care

Advanced Treatment for Athletes and Active Individuals

Sports Chiropractic provides a higher level of care for individuals recovering from injury or seeking to achieve peak performance. Unlike traditional chiropractic, which often focuses solely on joint manipulation, sports chiropractors treat both joints and soft tissues—including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This integrated approach delivers more complete, effective, and lasting results.

Dr. Scott Vanina brings decades of clinical experience and specialized training to every case. His expertise in extremity injuries, movement mechanics, and rehabilitation makes him a trusted resource for athletes, teams, and active patients across the region.

What Sets Sports Chiropractic Apart

Sports Chiropractors are among the most highly trained professionals in the manual treatment of joint dysfunction and soft tissue trauma. Their advanced knowledge provides them with a distinct advantage in treating injuries caused by high-impact, high-velocity movements—whether on the field, in the gym, or in everyday life.

Dr. Vanina’s training includes:

  • Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians® (DACBSP®)—one of only three in the greater Philadelphia area –This status represents the highest level of sports chiropractic training available.
  • National Academy of Sports Medicine — Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES)

Why Timing Matters

Sports injuries should be addressed immediately or as soon as possible. Ignoring pain or “toughing it out” may allow temporary performance, but untreated joint dysfunction or soft tissue trauma often worsens over time. These are mechanical problems, and they require mechanical solutions.

Chiropractic care—especially when delivered by a sports-trained provider—can restore function, reduce pain, and prevent long-term damage.
