A common misconception is that a any chiropractor can be a sports chiropractor if that’s what they want to focus on. However, just like any other specialty in medicine, you wouldn’t go to your primary medical doctor and ask to have heart surgery performed by that doctor. You would search out a cardiologist, someone who has spent significant time with experience and with education to accomplish the task you wish to accomplish. A sports chiropractor has additional hours of education and clinical experience with diagnosis, management of various conditions, and treatment options all on top of the traditional chiropractic doctorate degree. Dr. Haworth is the only certified sports chiropractor in the entire Tahoe Basin and is able to treat and manage a variety of those Tahoe injuries. He also is an avid skier, mountain biker, and outdoor enthusiast himself and understands from both sides how to manage conditions common to Tahoe.
Dr. Haworth has worked with a variety of age groups, events and athletes such as:
Skiers and Snowboarders
Mountain and Road Bikers
Rock Climbers
Lake Tahoe Cycling and Marathon Events
National women’s softball tournaments
Minor league baseball team
Seaside beach volleyball national tournament
Regional track and field tournaments
Western States soccer tournaments
CrossFit athletes and prep for The Games
High school sports
Why Tahoe?
