For Carson City, NV patients
What is Sports Injury Care, and how it helps Carson City patients
Sports-injury care at Ascension Health is built for athletes, recreational and competitive, who want to get back to their sport, not just be "pain free at rest." For Carson City runners, cyclists, lifters, golfers, court athletes, and weekend warriors, that means a plan that respects your training calendar and your goals.
Our approach starts with a movement evaluation: what got hurt, why it got hurt, and what biomechanical pattern made it likely. We then combine chiropractic, PT, soft-tissue work, and graded return-to-sport progressions so you build back stronger than you were before the injury.
We work with athletes from the Northern NV, high-school, club, masters, recreational, and we adjust the plan based on competition timing. Sometimes the right answer is rest and rehab; sometimes it's modified training; we tell you which.
If you've been told "just stop running" or "you can't lift heavy anymore," that advice is sometimes right and often not. A good conservative-care plan can rewrite that story.

“Dr Hanford is amazing! I had so many issues everywhere and he did an excellent job adjusting me and working on my muscles too!! He takes the time to listen to you! My old chiropractor was is town and he said my posture is so much better since a few years ago! He truly cares for his patients and has a great personality too! Always willing to help and get u in immediately as soon as possible if you have an emergency!”
“Dr. Kyle is very knowledgeable and compassionate. Whenever I vacation in the area I stop in a time or two for much needed adjustments. He listens, addresses your concerns and really makes a difference. His staff is amazing, helpful, friendly and very well organized. This is not your ordinary chiropractic, yes they do some ordinary, if it’s all you need. But if you have more severe issues the dr. Has degrees for more intense care and does an amazing job fixing your problems. And has the knowledge to know when you need something more.”
“Daisy is outstanding! She brings life to the office! Michelle is awesome! I highly recommend her! Dr. Haakenson is amazing with what he does! I haven’t met a more personable and outgoing chiropractor than himself.”
“Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had with a chiropractic office. I have had chronic pain most of my adult life and have been treated on and off pretty regularly. Dr. Hanford took the time to get to know me, worked to find the root of my issues and didn't just treat the symptoms. Relief was immediate but the lasting results were that he was helpful in educating me on my posture, daily life and exercise routine. I am glad to know and to trust him.”
“Go back today for another visit after my first initial. And I have to say it only took a day or 2 after for everything in my back to calm down!”
“Amazed at the positive results!! Great staff! Highly recommend”
