The Research Is Clear — Our Model Works Best for Long-Term Recovery

How We Combine Rehab, Strength, and Chiropractic at Matador

Injury care used to follow a “wait and rest” approach—ice, medication, and time. But modern research shows that active care models that combine chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, and progressive rehab are far more effective at restoring movement, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries.

📚 What the Research Says:

• A 2022 study in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that combining manual therapy with active rehabilitation reduced pain and improved function faster than passive treatment alone.

• The British Journal of Sports Medicine confirms that strength training reduces overuse injuries by up to 50%.

• The American College of Physicians recommends spinal manipulation, exercise, and patient education as first-line treatment for musculoskeletal pain—before medications or surgery.

💪 Why Our Model Works:

At Matador Rehab & Performance, our approach isn’t about short-term relief—it’s about long-term outcomes. We blend:

• Chiropractic Care to restore joint function and reduce pain

• Manual Therapy (cupping, scraping, dry needling) to improve soft tissue quality

• Shockwave RPW therapy helps with cellular healing, blood flow increase to the site of injury and pain reduction.

• Rehab Exercises to correct movement dysfunctions

• Strength & Mobility Training to build resilience and performance

Our system works because it’s progressive, individualized, and evidence-informed—not reactive.
