Athletic Recovery & Sports Chiropractic in Jacksonville, FL
Full Swing Healthcare provides sports chiropractic and athletic recovery in Jacksonville with two doctors who have competed at the Division I level. TPI-Certified. Performance-focused. Beach Blvd.
Both Doctors Have Played. Both Know What It Costs to Be Hurt.
The injuries that end athletic careers are rarely the acute ones. It's the hamstring that came back 90 percent and got loaded at full intensity. The rotator cuff that nagged for a season before the tear. The hip that compensated for an old ankle sprain until the SI joint gave out. Athletes manage injuries until they can't, and by then the original problem has a chain of compensations built around it that no amount of rest will untangle. At Full Swing Healthcare in Jacksonville, Dr. Eric Hall and Dr. Cody Muren treat the injury and they trace the chain.
What that means for you: when you describe your injury to Dr. Hall or Dr. Muren, they're not reading it off a diagnostic chart. They understand the sport, the movement pattern, the competitive pressure to return before you're fully ready, and the difference between playing through something and making it worse. That context changes how they treat you.
Not Rest. Directed Repair.
Rest is not a recovery protocol. Rest is what happens when no one has a better plan. At Full Swing, the protocol depends on the tissue involved, the stage of healing, and what your competition schedule looks like. The tools we use are chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, decompressive cupping, IASTM scraping, and StemWave acoustic wave therapy. Each works on a different physiological layer. Joint position. Motor endplate dysfunction. Fascial adhesion. Tendon degeneration. The full recovery plan hits all of them in the right sequence.
For in-season athletes, the goal is usually maintenance: keep the joints mobile, keep the soft tissue functional, and prevent the accumulation of microtrauma that turns a minor irritation into a major breakdown. A monthly or biweekly chiropractic visit during a long season is far less disruptive than two weeks out with an injury that was preventable. For post-injury rehabilitation, we work backward from your return date. What needs to be true about your tissue and your movement mechanics on that date? We build the plan from there.
TPI certification gives Dr. Muren a specific diagnostic lens for golfers that general chiropractic doesn't offer. The TPI screen identifies the 12 most common physical limitations that create swing faults: limited thoracic rotation, hip mobility deficits, poor glute activation, shoulder instability. He doesn't just treat your low back pain; he connects it to the S-posture or early extension pattern that's overloading your lumbar spine on every swing. Fix the movement, and the pain doesn't come back.
Every Sport, Every Level
Jacksonville has a year-round athletic culture. The Gate River Run brings tens of thousands of runners through the city every March, and the training injuries that go with 12-week half marathon programs fill our schedule from December through February. We see the IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and stress reactions that are predictable consequences of building mileage too fast. We know these patterns and we know how to cut through them without pulling you off your training plan longer than necessary.
CrossFit and powerlifting athletes are a large part of our practice. High-load training under fatigue creates specific spinal, shoulder, and hip patterns. We treat these athletes the way they want to be treated: honestly, with a plan, and with the understanding that "stop lifting" is not an acceptable recommendation unless the tissue genuinely demands it. We find the structural problem, fix it, and modify the training load, not eliminate it.
We also regularly see high school athletes from Fletcher, Sandalwood, Bartram Trail, and Atlantic Coast. Youth sports injuries treated correctly heal faster than those pushed through or ignored. A growth plate stress reaction caught early is weeks of modified training. The same injury ignored for a season can become a fracture. Early intervention is always the right call, and we work around school schedules to make it easy.
