Sports Chiropractic in Williamsburg

Performance Chiropractic Dr. Panick holding spine modelAs a former competitive runner with experience in (and love of) triathlon, basketball, and (Shotokan) karate, Dr. Shaye understands the stresses athletes face at every level. It’s one thing to understand joints and anatomy, but understanding the athlete’s mindset is something completely different. Our patients know our doctor ‘gets’ them, and will help them get back to doing what they love.
NEW PATIENTS

The problem isn’t your sacroiliac joint, it’s that your “40 and over” basketball team are defending champions, your game is coming up, and you tweaked something. That’s what has you jazzed, the idea of you looking at that trophy and repeating as a champion. Not your sacroiliac joint or “body part.” Yes, we’ll focus on fixing injured parts; but what we’re really fixing is your ability to do what you love.

How We Help You

At Performance Chiropractic, we have provided healing services for recreational athletes, weekend warriors, national champions, and even Olympic medalists. Dr. Shaye is credentialed as a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician since 1996 by the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians, and also has level one specialty training in Chiropractic Rehabilitation from the American Chiropractic Rehabilitation Board. His fellowship in acupuncture (F.I.A.M.A.) and training in dry needling add value for athletes who need these specialized methods.

Our chiropractors are experts at discovering the root of your pain… and correcting it. They are highly skilled in motion palpation, and both spine and extremity (foot, ankle, knee, shoulder, etc.) adjusting to give you the relief you need to achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes sports chiropractic different from a regular chiropractic visit?

Both Dr. Shaye and Dr. Panick are competitive athletes who have pursued additional training in sports chiropractic. We understand that athletes don't just want an injury to feel better—they want to get back to training, competing, and doing what they love. We tailor care to your injury, training demands, and performance goals.

What types of athletes do you treat?

We've helped recreational athletes, weekend warriors, nationally and internationally competitive athletes, and even several Olympic medalists. Our patients participate in golf, tennis, hockey, soccer, swimming, running, track and field, triathlon, CrossFit, basketball, pickleball—you name it, we've probably worked with athletes in that sport. The exception is curling. Be the first!

Can sports chiropractic help even if I've already tried physical therapy or seen an orthopedist?

Absolutely. Some athletes come to us after trying other approaches, while others come to us first. We take a fresh look at the factors that may be contributing to pain or limiting performance, then develop a plan around your specific needs and goals. When appropriate, we can also coordinate with your other healthcare providers.

Does age limit what sports chiropractic can do for me?

Not at all. We believe you shouldn't have to give up the activities you love simply because you're getting older. Whether you're a recreational athlete or a serious competitor, we'll work with you to address physical limitations and help you pursue your goals at any age.

What techniques are used in sports chiropractic treatment?

Treatment may include motion palpation and spine and extremity adjusting (foot, ankle, knee, shoulder), along with acupuncture and dry needling when appropriate.

Results You Can See

Intense activities like running, triathlon, CrossFit®, and even Pickleball can involve a huge investment of time and energy. When injuries occur, it can feel devastating. We have supported many athletes (tons of them runners) and helped them experience the thrill of crossing their finish line healthy and smiling.

More importantly, we help people realize they don't have to accept limitations because of age. They've seen the orthopedist, done physical therapy, and even gone to other chiropractors. When they come to us, they're not always sure what benefits to expect and are thrilled when their pain is reduced - or relieved. Now they can get back to the activities they love, and be around the people they enjoy spending time with.
