Strains, sprains, and overuse injuries treated with hands-on soft-tissue work, adjustments, and a clear return-to-play plan — for student, collegiate, and weekend athletes across Floyd County.
Rome is a sports town in the truest sense. Built on seven hills where the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers join to form the Coosa, it is the seat of Floyd County and the largest city in Northwest Georgia — and it carries the athletic culture to match. Between Berry College, one of the largest campuses in the world, Shorter University, the Rome Braves at State Mutual Stadium, and the high school programs feeding in from Armuchee, Lindale, Shannon, and Silver Creek, there is no shortage of people pushing their bodies hard. When that effort turns into a strain, a sprain, or a nagging overuse injury, our newest office at our Rome location on Professional Ct is here to help you assess it, treat it, and get back to your sport.
A sports injury chiropractor evaluates how your body moves, treats the soft tissue and joints driving your pain, and builds a plan to return you to activity safely. At DT Chiropractic, that starts with a real assessment rather than an immediate adjustment. Dr. Daniel Turner is SFMA Level 2 certified (Selective Functional Movement Assessment), which means we look at the whole chain — how your hip, knee, shoulder, and spine work together — instead of only the spot that hurts. A runner pounding the trails out toward Berry, a Shorter athlete in season, or a rec-league player off GA-20 often has pain in one place and a cause somewhere else entirely.
From there, care typically combines hands-on Active Release Technique (ART) for tight, scarred, or overused muscle and tendon, targeted chiropractic adjustments to restore joint motion, and progressive rehab exercises you can keep doing at home. This is conservative, evidence-based care — no theatrics, and in keeping with our promise, no sales, only exceptional care.
We treat the soft-tissue and joint injuries that come from training and competition — not just acute pain, but the overuse problems that build over a season. Common reasons athletes and active people come to our Rome office include:

Plenty of active Romans are not chasing a varsity roster spot — they are golfers, lifters, and parents who want to keep playing without pain. Dr. Turner is TPI Certified (Titleist Performance Institute, Medical Level 3 and Golf Level 2), which adds a detailed lens for the rotation, mobility, and stability a powerful, repeatable swing demands. If your goal is performance as much as recovery, our golf performance and TPI program ties movement screening directly to how you play.
We offer same- or next-day appointments at our Rome office, so a Friday-night injury does not have to mean a wasted weekend. Honest answer on timelines: it depends on the tissue and the severity. A mild strain may settle in a couple of weeks, while a stubborn tendon problem takes longer and rewards patience. We will give you a realistic plan and clear return-to-play milestones — gradually reloading the injured area, restoring full strength and motion, and confirming you can do your sport's demands before you go all-out again. We do not guarantee outcomes, and we will never rush you back into a position to reinjure yourself.
When to seek emergency care first. Chiropractic care is for soft-tissue and joint injuries, not emergencies. If you have significant trauma, a suspected fracture or dislocation, a joint that feels unstable or gives way, or any head injury or concussion symptoms, get evaluated at Atrium Health Floyd or another medical or emergency provider first. Once you are cleared, we are glad to help you rehab and return to activity.
Our office sits on Professional Ct, convenient to the US-27 corridor (Martha Berry Boulevard and Turner McCall Boulevard) and easy to reach from downtown Broad Street, the Clocktower district, GA-53, and GA-20. That makes us a straightforward stop for athletes and families coming from across Floyd County and nearby communities like Cave Spring, Cedartown, Lindale, and Shannon. Care is bilingual — se habla español, and we accept most major insurance.
Because Rome is our newest location, we are still introducing ourselves to this community — and we would rather earn your trust through results than overstate a history we do not have here. If a different city is closer for you, we provide the same athletic care at our sports injury chiropractor in Canton and our sports injury chiropractor in Cartersville, which is also bilingual and convenient to the LakePoint sports complex.
This page is general health information, not medical advice. Care is individualized after an in-person assessment, and no specific result is promised.
