Sports Chiropractic in Chino
If pain or tightness is slowing you down on the field, in the ring, or in the gym, sports chiropractic can help you stay in the game. At Sam The Chiropractor, a large share of our patients are athletes and very active people who use care as part of their recovery and performance routine.
Dr. Samuel Ruiz grew up playing baseball, so he understands firsthand what your body goes through when you train hard.
How Sports Chiropractic Helps Your Performance
Sports chiropractic here is built around full‑body adjustments that balance your pelvis and spine and restore motion to every major joint. Dr. Ruiz doesn’t just “crack your back” and send you out the door; he checks your shoulders, hips, wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles because one stuck joint can throw off your whole movement pattern.
When needed, he may also use Ring Dinger® spinal decompression, a manual technique that gently stretches your spine from head to toe to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This approach is beneficial for athletes dealing with compressed backs and disc issues from impact or overuse.
Sports chiropractic with Dr. Ruiz can help with:
- Lower back pain and stiffness from lifting, impact, or overtraining
- Shoulder pain and limited motion from throwing, punching, or overhead work
- Disc problems, sciatica, and nerve-related pain in the arms or legs
- Overall mobility, balance, and energy efficiency during training and competition
Athlete-Level Adjustments for Every Body
Dr. Ruiz gives the same high-quality, powerful adjustment to everyone, whether you’re a pro boxer or just getting back into the gym. Each visit is a head‑to‑toe session designed to improve how your entire body moves and feels. He focuses only on chiropractic adjustments, not on extra machines or therapies, so your time is spent on what actually creates change. Most competitive athletes already work with strength and conditioning coaches; his job is to keep your spine and nervous system clear, so their work pays off.
Real-World Results for Fighters and Athletes
Many of our regulars are professional boxers, baseball players, soccer players, and other high-level competitors from Chino and beyond. One pro boxer came in after a sparring injury left his back compressed and his upcoming fight at risk of being cancelled. Massage and a “regular” chiropractor hadn’t helped, but after two full-body adjustment sessions, he was ready to fight and kept his December match.
Dr. Ruiz also supports local boxing gyms by making on-site adjustments and sponsors many up‑and‑coming fighters, helping keep them healthy as they build their careers. For ongoing spinal health, he often suggests simple at‑home habits like light dead hangs, using an inversion table, core strengthening, and periodic tune-up adjustments throughout the year.
