Whether you’re coaching a high school team, leading a collegiate program, or training elite athletes year-round, one thing remains true across all levels of competition: performance and recovery go hand in hand. At Camarata Chiropractic, we’ve spent years helping athletes optimize their health, speed up recovery, and minimize downtime—and that work doesn’t happen in a silo. It’s most effective when it’s part of an integrated game plan that includes strength coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and sports medicine professionals.

If you’re a coach, trainer, or performance specialist in the Rochester area, building a relationship with our team—Dr. Sam Camarata, Dr. Brian Dickinson, and Dr. Joe Carroll—is one of the most strategic moves you can make for your athletes’ long-term health and success.

Recovery Is an Athletic Advantage

Training puts stress on the body. That stress is necessary for growth—but only if the body is given the right tools and time to adapt and rebuild. Recovery isn’t just about rest; it’s about intelligent, intentional strategies that support the nervous system, enhance mobility, and restore balance. Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in all of these areas.

Dr. Sam Camarata and our team see firsthand how chiropractic adjustments, SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, and nervous system support help athletes bounce back faster, feel better, and reduce the likelihood of overuse injuries. When athletes are aligned and functioning optimally, everything from flexibility and joint mobility to focus and sleep quality improves.

This isn’t just about making sure an athlete can get back on the field after an injury—it’s about helping them stay on the field in the first place.

Injury Prevention Starts with Proactive Care

Far too often, we see athletes wait until they’re in pain before seeking help. But pain is often the last signal your body sends, not the first. That’s why we emphasize proactive, preventative care. Coaches and athletic trainers who refer their athletes to our team are giving them access to early intervention, movement assessments, and consistent maintenance that helps address imbalances before they turn into setbacks.

Dr. Brian Dickinson works with athletes of all ages to identify patterns and postures that may contribute to injury. Through chiropractic adjustments and strategic movement support, we help ensure the body is functioning as it should. Our goal is to keep athletes strong, mobile, and pain-free—not just for the next game, but for the entire season.

Chiropractic + Coaching = A Stronger Support System

Great coaching goes beyond drills and plays—it’s about building a complete system of support. That includes mental preparation, physical training, recovery routines, and trusted healthcare partnerships. At Camarata Chiropractic, we believe in open communication and collaboration with the professionals who know athletes best.

We regularly connect with athletic trainers and performance staff to ensure everyone is on the same page. Whether it’s coordinating care, adjusting training volume, or supporting return-to-play decisions, we’re committed to working as part of your athlete’s team—not outside of it.

Dr. Joe Carroll brings a background in both clinical chiropractic care and athletic performance, which allows him to bridge the gap between training demands and recovery protocols. When you refer your athletes to our team, you’re getting a team that understands the physical, mental, and competitive demands they’re facing.

SoftWave Therapy: A Game-Changer for Recovery

In addition to chiropractic care, we offer SoftWave Therapy, an FDA-cleared regenerative treatment that accelerates tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and promotes long-term recovery. This non-invasive technology is trusted by major sports teams and organizations, and it’s available right here in Rochester.

SoftWave has become a powerful tool in our treatment plans for athletes recovering from sprains, strains, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and more. It gets results without drugs, injections, or surgery—just safe, fast-acting relief that helps athletes get back to what they love.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

Today’s athletes are under more pressure than ever—longer seasons, more training hours, more intensity. With that comes an increased risk of burnout, injury, and chronic pain. The earlier we can build recovery habits into their routine, the better outcomes we see in both performance and overall health.

As a coach or trainer, the decisions you make about who’s in your athlete’s corner matter. Having a trusted chiropractic team to refer to ensures your athletes are supported holistically, with care that complements what they’re doing in practice and in the gym.

Let's Be Part of the Same Team

We’re here to be your resource. Whether it’s sending an athlete in for a quick evaluation, building a care plan for a starter recovering from injury, or offering recovery days for your entire team—we’re ready. Dr. Sam Camarata, Dr. Brian Dickinson, and Dr. Joe Carroll are passionate about athlete health and performance, and we’d be honored to be part of your network.
