SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC
GIG HARBOR | SILVERDALE

Chiropractic Care Gig Harbor

Chiropractic care is typically part of  professional and top level amateur athletes program to perform at their best and surpass performance plateaus. PRO SPORT’s Chiropractors use hands on passive mobilization techniques and traditional Chiropractic spinal manipulation used to decrease pain, increase joint range of motion and improve function to restricted or fixated joints. Our Gig Harbor and Silverdale chiropractors are uniquely trained to determine when and where to safely and effectively apply an adjustment with less pain and without the need for constant maintenance care.

PRO SPORT’s Chiropractors

Our Gig Harbor and Silverdale Washington Sports chiropractors have undergone extensive training. Sports chiropractic combines years of additional training and certifications that allow our doctors to go above and beyond traditional chiropractic approaches. The additional education and training allows us to be your first point of contact to diagnose and manage your condition or injury. In addition to treatment, management of your case will include a graded return to sport or activity as well as any necessary referral for imaging or consultation with another medical specialist.

What sets our chiropractic physicians at the top is our ability to move beyond the typical short-duration, high-volume, in-and-out therapy session consisting of spinal joint manipulation only. At PRO SPORT in Gig Harbor and Silverdale, our chiropractors spend quality time with all our patients both during initial examination and follow-up treatment. This extra time gives us the opportunity to really get to know your needs so that we can deliver targeted, evidenced based therapies that match your goals.

Professional and top level amateur athletes typically have sports chiropractic care as part of their injury prevention program and to ensure they are performing at their best. Passive mobilization techniques and traditional Chiropractic manipulation is combined with Active Release Technique and Graston therapy, to decrease pain, increase joint range of motion, and improve function to restricted or fixated joints. With the addition of physical rehabilitation we can typically avoid the need for constant maintenance care.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR TECHNIQUES & TREATMENT METHODS

ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE
The gold standard in soft tissue care sought after by numerous professional franchises and athletes to recover faster and manage cumulative trauma or overuse injuries.

GRASTON TECHNIQUE
Graston is an instrument assisted soft tissue therapy to break up scar tissue and promote healing in both acute and chronic injuries.

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENS
FMS is a series of strength, balance, and mobility tests that help to identify the underlying cause of your injury and guide the rehabilitation process.

KINESIO TAPING
Kinesio taping is a therapeutic, elastic tape to support soft tissues and joints while improving circulation without limiting range of motion.

SPORTS REHABILITATION
Dynamic, sport specific, multi-joint exercises designed to bridge the gap between in-office rehab and on-field performance.

What is a Chiropractic adjustment like?

After a diagnosis has been reached based on a history and examination, treatment can be rendered based on your comfort level and the nature of your condition. Not all conditions or patients are candidates for manipulations, therefore we may offer alternative treatment solutions to provide relief.

Patients receiving a chiropractic adjustment can expect the doctor to bring the affected joint to the edge of its range of motion, then deliver a precise impulse that may result in a popping sound.  This sound is made by the formation and collapse of gas bubbles inside the joint and is called a cavitation.  Chiropractic adjusting is a safe and effective tool for addressing localized pain and loss of mobility for a variety of conditions.

General overview of chiropractic

What our patients are saying

  • A friend of mine from the Sounders referred me to Dr. Sampatacos and his team after I injured my knee. Great guy and surgeon. The entire process from surgery to rehab has been significantly easier thanks to the expertise of this doctor and his team. More places should consider building a business that incorporates so many specialists under one roof.

    Healthgrades Review
  • Couldn’t be happier. Dr. Sampatacos spent more time with me than any doctor I’ve ever met, and the rest of the staff was amazing too. So glad I was referred to them.

    Healthgrades Review
  • The treatment I have received from Dr. Sean Spaulding has been nothing less than life changing! Sean has provided me with the perfect combination of Chiropractic, Tissue Manipulation and Physical Therapeutic care. I suffered decades with chronic problems and endlessly searching for the right team of chiropractors, massage therapists and personal trainers to alleviate my physical problems. I never thought I would be able to receive this amount of successful treatment from one person. I am looking forward to continuing my treatment with Dr. Sean Spaulding. You should too!

    Alan S. Testimonial
  • I started seeing Dr. Hartford after going to a physiotherapist for 4 months with no change. I was skeptical at first after being frustrated with my previous care. Dr. Hartford is very knowledgeable and caring. And I am now better! I can’t recommend him and Dr. Spaulding enough. I was sure my next step was surgery. So even though their office is an hour away from my house, I decided to give them a try. One of the main reasons was that Dr. Hartford works with the Sounders. I figure if a pro sports team trusts him, then that’s where I want to go. Dr. Hartford is worth every penny, and he’s super funny too! If you need a chiropractor go here! I am through with my current problem, but will return in a second if I am in need of any chiropractic care.

  • Best place I’ve ever been to and I highly recommend Pro Sport and Spine to anyone that wants to heal, strengthen and maintain their body. They are better and unlike any other chiropractor I’ve seen. With hour long appointments, dedicated solely on me, I receive soft tissue work, adjustments stretches and exercises. Both doctors, Sean and Forest, are equally great, knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and truly care about my experience. I have gone to chiropractors, physical therapists, masseuses and orthopedic surgeons, but Pro Sport and Spine has made the biggest difference with my injuries and pain. I completely trust them and will be forever grateful and loyal. Every visit I learn new things and always leave happy!

    Erica S.
  • I love this place!  After about 9 months of struggling with hip pain, I decided to try Pro Sport and Spine.  I have not been a fan of chiropractors in the past, however had read about their Active Release Technique and sports-minded approach and decided to give them a try.  Their office has always been very friendly and helpful.  Dr. Spaulding has combined his expertise along with teaching and encouraging me to work hard on home exercises.  I am so thrilled with the progress he has helped me to achieve and am so excited to run and ski again!

    Carli W.
  • Dr Hartford is Amazing! I stated seeing him as a last resort. I tried Everything to help my back pain! I was in so much pain with 2 herniated discs and intense nerve pain. He worked with me and never gave up on me. To this day I have no sciatic nerve issues. I believe so much in what he does through ART. This is no ordinary Chiropractor he spends time with you and really cares for his patients. I could honestly go on and on how much I believe in his treatment.
