Chiropractic Treatments
We don't just crack backs and send you on your way. As a premier sports and rehab facility, we stack world-class diagnostic imaging with advanced cellular therapies to heal tissue, remove nerve pressure, and restore your mechanics. Explore our core chiropractic treatments in Cornelius NC below.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
When a spinal disc bulges or herniates, it places immense pressure on your nerves, causing debilitating back pain and sciatica. Traditional adjustments alone cannot always fix severe structural disc damage. Spinal Decompression uses advanced, computer-controlled traction to gently and precisely separate your vertebrae.
This creates negative pressure (a vacuum effect) inside the disc, pulling the bulging gel back into place while simultaneously flooding the injured joint with oxygen, water, and healing nutrients. It is the absolute gold standard for avoiding back surgery.

Class IV Deep Tissue Laser
Inflammation is the root cause of chronic pain, and sometimes adjustments aren't enough to reach deep-seated tissue damage. Our Class IV Deep Tissue Laser penetrates straight through the skin to the cellular level of damaged muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
By stimulating photobiomodulation (PBM), the laser rapidly accelerates cellular regeneration and aggressively flushes out the painful inflammation surrounding torn tissues and pinched nerves. It is highly effective for both acute sports injuries and chronic, stubborn joint pain, and pairs seamlessly with our other chiropractic treatments for faster recovery.
- Rapid Relief for Plantar Fasciitis & Achilles Pain
- Accelerates Healing of Rotator Cuff Tears
- Reduces Severe Neck & Auto Accident Inflammation
- Speeds Up Post-Surgical Recovery
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
When an injury is left untreated for too long, the body lays down dense, rigid scar tissue to protect the area. This chronic scar tissue restricts movement and chokes off blood supply, preventing the area from ever fully healing.
Shockwave Therapy utilizes high-energy acoustic sound waves to physically break up this deep, stubborn scar tissue and calcification. The micro-trauma from the sound waves tricks your body into restarting the healing process, forcing new blood vessels to form (revascularization) and stimulating stem cell production to repair the tendon or ligament.
- Destroys Stubborn Scar Tissue & Calcification
- Highly Effective for Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs
- Treats Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow
- Restores Blood Flow to Chronic Injuries
Trigger Point Dry Needling
Dry needling is an advanced, evidence-based treatment used to relieve muscle pain, reduce tightness, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery from injuries. Our skilled providers use thin, sterile needles to target trigger points and dysfunctional muscle tissue, helping decrease pain and restore normal movement. Dry needling is commonly used to treat neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and muscle strains. At Lakeside Sports Chiropractic + Physical Therapy in Cornelius, NC, we combine dry needling with chiropractic care and physical therapy to help you recover faster and get back to the activities you love.
Dry Needling uses micro-fine needles to physically enter the knotted muscle fiber and force a localized twitch response. This instantly resets the neurological tension in the muscle, allowing it to finally relax, flush out acidic buildup, and restore your full range of motion. Like all of our chiropractic treatments, it is tailored to every age and activity level — from youth athletes to grandparents.
- Instantly Releases Deep Muscle Knots
- Relieves Tension Headaches & Migraines
- Restores Normal Range of Motion in Shoulders & Hips
- Accelerates Sports Recovery & Performance
