Struggling to Reach Your Athletic Potential?
Most chiropractors treat pain. Performance chiropractic goes further. If you're an athlete, a weekend competitor, or someone who takes their training seriously, you already know that feeling okay isn't the same as performing at your best.
Pain gets you in the door. But what about the shoulder that never quite feels right at the top of your lift? The hip that stiffens up by mile three? The nagging tightness that never fully goes away between practices? These aren't things to push through. They're signals that something in how your body moves needs attention.
At 417 Performance Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation in Springfield, we work with athletes at every level, from high school competitors and youth sport athletes to recreational runners, weekend warriors, and serious CrossFit athletes. Our approach is built around how your body functions, not just where it hurts.
What Is Performance Chiropractic?
Performance chiropractic is chiropractic care designed around athletic function and movement quality. Rather than simply reducing pain, the goal is to restore full, efficient movement, identify and correct the compensations that lead to injury, and keep your body performing the way you need it to.
It draws on a combination of joint manipulation and mobilization, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and rehabilitation exercise to address the root cause of dysfunction. The result is care that doesn't just get you back to training, it helps you train better.
How We Approach Performance at 417

Dr. Cole Bolin and the team at 417 Performance take a functional approach to chiropractic care. That means we look at the whole picture: how you move, where you load, and what's being asked of your body in your sport or training.
Our performance-focused services include:
- Chiropractic manipulation and joint mobilization to restore range of motion and proper mechanics
- Dry needling and soft tissue therapy to address muscle tension, adhesions, and trigger points
- Sport-specific rehabilitation to rebuild strength and movement patterns after injury

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. We work with athletes at every level, from youth sport competitors and high school players to adult recreational athletes and people who train hard but don't compete. If physical performance matters to you, performance chiropractic is relevant to you.
Standard chiropractic care is often focused primarily on pain relief. Performance chiropractic is built around function, movement quality, and athletic output. We're asking not just "where does it hurt?" but "how is your body moving, and what's getting in the way of how you want to perform?"
No. Many of our athletes come in proactively to maintain movement quality, address minor restrictions before they become injuries, or optimize how their body is functioning during a training block. You don't need to be hurt to benefit.
We work with athletes across a wide range of sports and activities, including running, CrossFit, weightlifting, team sports, gymnastics, baseball, and more. If you're moving hard and want to move better, we can help.
It depends on what you're dealing with and what your goals are. Some athletes come in for a handful of visits to address a specific issue. Others work with us on an ongoing basis throughout their season. We'll give you a clear recommendation after your initial assessment.
