Chiropractic Care for Jacksonville Surfers
Surfing demands strength, mobility and endurance—from paddling out to popping up and driving through turns. As a surfer himself, Dr. Nick Baiata understands how back, neck, rib and shoulder discomfort can affect your time in the water. At Surfside Chiropractic in Atlantic Beach, he provides individualized chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy and practical exercise recommendations for surfers throughout the Jacksonville Beaches and nearby Jacksonville communities.
Common Reasons Surfers Seek Care
• Lower-back pain during or after surfing
• Neck pain or stiffness while paddling
• Rib and mid-back discomfort from lying on the board
• Shoulder pain with repeated paddling
• Hip stiffness or limited mobility affecting pop-ups and turns
• Recurring pain that limits time in the water
• Lingering discomfort after a wipeout
How Surfside Chiropractic gets Jacksonville Surfers Back in the Water
Your visit starts with a conversation about where you hurt, which surfing movements bother you and what you want to get back to doing. Dr. Nick Baiata combines his experience as a chiropractor and surfer with an examination of the areas affecting your comfort and movement.
When appropriate, care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue therapy and exercises tailored to your needs. Recommendations may focus on hip mobility for pop-ups, shoulder strength and control for paddling, or back and neck movement.
You’ll also discuss ways to adjust your surfing and training while recovering. Treatment is adapted to your findings, preferences and progress, with referral for further evaluation when needed. The goal is to help you move more comfortably and keep doing what you love.
