Sports chiropractic in Madison

Your run. Your lifts. A way back.

Rebound is a small sports chiropractic practice on Madison's east side. We look at how you move, choose a load you can handle and plan your return with you. No one can promise a result, and we don't.

The plan

Assess. Load. Return.

How we plan a return to your run or your lifts. Your doctor sets the pace with you.

  • Assess

    We ask about your training week and what changed, then watch you move: a short jog on the spot, a squat, a hinge, an overhead reach.

  • Load

    Your doctor picks work you can handle today, with hands-on care where it fits, and adds more only when you are ready.

  • Return

    You step back toward your usual run or lift in stages you agree on. You can slow down or stop at any point.

No one can say how long each step takes. Your doctor decides with you, and tells you when to see a physician first.

Who we see

For runners and lifters with a day job

Most of our patients run the lake paths before work or lift in a garage or a gym after it.

Visits start early and some run after work. Come in what you train in, and bring the shoes you run in.

  • Open from 6:30 a.m. on weekdays

  • A first visit of about 45 minutes

  • Training clothes are fine

Before you book

The questions people ask first.

What happens at the first visit?

The first visit takes about 45 minutes. You talk with your doctor about your training week and what changed, then you are checked and watched as you move. Your doctor explains what was found, what is suggested, the risks and the cost, and you decide what happens that day.

What are the risks of an adjustment?

Some people feel sore for a day or two. Serious problems are rare. Your doctor explains the risks before any hands-on care, answers your questions and will tell you when to see a physician first. You can stop at any point.

Will it hurt?

Most people feel pressure or a stretch, not sharp pain. Some feel sore afterward, like after a hard workout. Tell your doctor if anything is uncomfortable and it changes or stops.

Do you take my insurance?

We bill some plans and not others. Call with your plan's name and we tell you before your first visit. A plan may not pay for every visit. How fees work explains the rest.

Do I need x-rays?

Most visits don't use them. Your doctor orders an x-ray only when it is medically necessary and explains why first.
