Holistic Healing for Fitness and Injury Recovery in El Paso

Healing for Fitness and Injury Recovery

Introduction to Integrative Chiropractic Care

At our El Paso-based center, we combine chiropractic care with fitness-focused rehabilitation to help you recover from injuries and achieve optimal health. Led by Dr. Alex Jimenez, DC, APRN, FNP-BC, our team uses integrative methods to address pain, enhance performance, and promote wellness. This article explores common questions about integrative chiropractic care, its techniques, safety, and benefits, tailored for those seeking recovery from injuries or improved fitness.

Why Choose Our Integrative Approach?

Our clinic specializes in treating injuries from sports, work, motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), or personal incidents, using a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Jimenez’s dual expertise as a chiropractor and nurse practitioner allows for precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans, incorporating advanced imaging and therapies like acupuncture and exercise (Jimenez, n.d.). This integrative method supports athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those recovering from injuries to regain strength and mobility naturally (Integrative Chiropractic Center, n.d.).

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Your initial visit sets the stage for a successful recovery and wellness journey. Here’s what happens:

• Health History Review: We discuss your injuries, symptoms, and fitness goals.
• Physical Assessment: Evaluating posture, mobility, and spinal alignment.
• Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays or MRIs to identify injury causes.
• Tailored Plan: A customized treatment plan, possibly including an initial adjustment or exercise.

The visit lasts 30–60 minutes in our fitness-oriented facility, designed to feel supportive and motivating (Pivotal Chiropractic, n.d.). Call us at 915-850-0900 or email coach@elpasofunctionalmedicine.com to schedule an appointment.

What Conditions Can We Address?

Our integrative chiropractic care treats more than just back and neck pain. It’s effective for:

• Migraines: Spinal adjustments reduce migraine frequency and intensity, as shown in a 2019 study (Healthgrades, 2025).
• Dizziness: Correcting spinal misalignments improves balance (ScienceDirect, n.d.).
• Allergies: Some patients report relief from reduced stress, though evidence is limited (Mile High Spine, n.d.).
• Chronic Pain: Ideal for pain from sports injuries, work accidents, or MVAs.

We focus on helping athletes and active individuals recover from injuries while enhancing performance (Jimenez, n.d.).

Techniques for Recovery and Performance

We use various techniques to support healing and fitness goals:

• Spinal Adjustments: Restore alignment to reduce pain and improve function.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthen muscles and enhance mobility, tailored for fitness enthusiasts.
• Massage Therapy: Relieves muscle tension and promotes recovery.
• Acupuncture: Reduces pain and supports healing.
• Nutrition Counseling: Optimizes health and performance.
• Functional Fitness Training: Boosts agility and strength for all ages.

Dr. Jimenez often employs the Diversified Technique for adjustments, paired with fitness-focused exercises to support recovery and prevent re-injury (Jimenez, n.d.; DE Integrative Healthcare, n.d.).

Is It Safe for Athletes and Others?

Our care is safe for most people, including athletes, children, pregnant women, and seniors, when performed by our licensed team. Chiropractic care is safe for migraines during pregnancy, though more research is needed (Medical News Today, n.d.). For older adults or those with conditions like osteoporosis, we use gentler techniques, guided by Dr. Jimenez’s medical expertise and diagnostic assessments (Integrative Services, n.d.). Athletes benefit from treatments that enhance performance while ensuring safety (ScienceDirect, n.d.).

Can It Help with Chronic or Severe Pain?

Yes, our integrative approach effectively manages chronic and severe pain. A 2019 case study showed significant improvement in chronic migraines and neck pain after chiropractic care (Vertebral Subluxation Research, 2019). Dr. Jimenez uses advanced imaging and dual-scope diagnosis to pinpoint pain causes, combining adjustments, exercises, and massage to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This is particularly effective for sports injuries, work accidents, or MVAs, preventing long-term issues (Jimenez, n.d.).

What Are the Costs?

Treatment costs vary based on the plan and frequency. In El Paso, sessions typically range from $50 to $150, with initial visits potentially higher due to diagnostics (DE Integrative Healthcare, n.d.). We offer packages for ongoing care to support fitness and recovery goals. Contact us at 915-850-0900 for pricing details.

Do We Accept Insurance?

We accept many insurance plans, though coverage varies. Chiropractic care for injuries is often covered, but integrative therapies, such as acupuncture, may have limitations. Our team assists with claims and offers options for uninsured patients. Check with your provider and contact us for support (Integrative Services, n.d.).

Is Ongoing Treatment Needed?

For injuries or chronic conditions, ongoing care is often recommended. Initial frequent visits may transition to maintenance care (e.g., monthly) as you improve. Dr. Jimenez incorporates fitness-focused exercises and lifestyle advice to prevent re-injury and enhance performance (DE Integrative Healthcare, n.d.).
