As an athlete myself, I believe strongly that no athlete should see a non-athlete doctor. Why? Because athletes push their bodies differently. We know what it means to train, to compete, and to fight through pain. We also know how devastating an injury can feel when it keeps you from the sport you love.
At Pillars of Wellness, I’ve worked with professional athletes in nearly every sport, as well as golfers, tennis players, high school competitors, and weekend warriors. Whether you’re playing at the highest level or just want to stay active, our mission is the same: keep you moving, healing, and performing at your best. “Dr. Matt Chalmers, DC, CCCN, CCSP”
Sports injuries are unique. They demand a treatment plan that addresses not only pain relief but also performance, mobility, and long-term function. That’s why we combine:
This approach doesn’t just mask pain — it restores proper function so you can play harder, longer, and with fewer setbacks.
Over the years, I’ve developed highly effective, results-driven treatment protocols for conditions that frustrate athletes the most:
Each protocol is rooted in neurology and biomechanics — not cookie-cutter rehab.
Disc injuries often respond well to spinal decompression. Learn more on our Slipped and Herniated Disc, Back Pain and Massage Therapy pages.
An adjustment or a rehab plan fixes the mechanics. But tissue only rebuilds as fast as the body can supply the raw materials and the signals to do it. That is why athletes who heal slowly, re-injure the same area or never quite get back to full strength often have something going on beneath the injury itself.
Because Pillars of Wellness is a medical and functional medicine practice as well as a chiropractic office, we can look at the whole picture:
A note for tested athletes: many hormones and peptides, including testosterone, BPC-157 and TB-500, are prohibited by WADA, the NCAA and most professional leagues. If you compete in a tested sport, tell us up front and we will build your recovery plan around what your sport allows.
The best injury is the one that never happens. Once you are back in action, our Custom Exercise Programs focus on strength, mobility and balance between muscle groups, so the same weak link does not fail again.
Do I need a referral to be seen for a sports injury?
No. You can schedule directly with our office in Frisco. New patients start with a free consultation.
Can you work with my coach, trainer or physical therapist?
Yes. We are happy to coordinate care so everyone is working toward the same return-to-play plan.
How soon after an injury should I come in?
As soon as you can. Early care usually means faster recovery and less compensation in other areas of the body.
✨ If you’re injured, don’t settle for generic treatment. Work with someone who knows what it means to be an athlete — and knows how to get you back in the game.
Tell us what you would like help with, and a member of the Pillars of Wellness team will contact you about scheduling a consultation.
