No: Some advertise themselves as helping with sport related problems. They cannot deal with most of the types of injuries suffered in sports,. See an orthopediist or physiatrist first.

Ever since going to a chiropractor I have been having pain in places they adjusted. My neck is in pain and is grinding. I don't know if I should go find a better chiropractor or if I need to go to a ortho, neuro or other kind of doctor to fix this?
