Sports Chiropractic in Mesa
Optimizing Physical and Mental Performance
Our team understands that peak athletic performance requires both physical alignment and mental focus. Dr. Jeff Roderick, a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, brings advanced training and decades of experience helping athletes of all levels perform at their best.
The Biomechanics of Motion
If two athletes of equal ability and training compete, the one who is functioning better biomechanically will consistently outperform the other. Dr. Roderick specializes in understanding human biomechanics and removing the restrictions that inhibit optimal motion. Whether you’re a golfer with restricted hip rotation, a runner with foot mechanics issues, or a basketball player with shoulder limitations, we identify and correct the specific biomechanical issues affecting your performance. With 28 bones and 33 joints in each lower leg, ankle, and foot, ensuring proper movement throughout your body creates a foundation for superior athletic achievement.
Mental Skills for Peak Performance
The mental aspect of sports performance is often overlooked — but it’s a critical piece of the puzzle. As part of Dr. Roderick’s whole-person approach to optimizing performance, he incorporates mental skills training to help athletes sharpen focus, manage pressure, and stay mentally resilient. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a seasoned pro, or one of the top 20 professional pickleball players in the world, Dr. Roderick works with you to develop simple, personalized strategies that strengthen your mental game. These tools help quiet self-doubt, reduce competitive anxiety, and keep you locked in when it matters most — because true performance isn’t just physical. It’s mental too.
From Elementary School to the Olympics
Dr. Roderick’s expertise has benefited athletes across the entire spectrum of competition. As a staff chiropractor at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, he provided support to international athletes from various countries. He served as Medical Director for the World Snowmobile Association and treated elite competitors at the Winter X-Games in Aspen, Colorado. This high-level experience translates directly to exceptional care for athletes of all ages and abilities, from youth sports participants to professional competitors.
Comprehensive Sports Injury Recovery
When sports injuries occur, our integrated approach accelerates healing and optimizes recovery. Chiropractic care ensures proper alignment during the healing process—similar to setting a broken bone so it heals correctly. By removing restrictions, reducing inflammation, increasing blood flow, and reducing swelling, we help your body heal efficiently and completely. Our combined physical and mental approach also addresses the psychological aspects of injury recovery, helping you return to your sport with confidence and without lingering fear or hesitation.
