Sports Medicine Chiropractic For All
Most sports medicine practices in Dallas were built around helping male athletes and sports teams, but at PRIME Sports Medicine we are female founded and female owned and strive to provide expert-level sports medicine care for all atheles, no matter your age, sex or sport of choice.
If you are an active woman training for your next event, or simply love to work hard and want to keep moving hard, PRIME Sports Medicine was built specifically for you.
Sports Medicine for Active Women and Female Athletes
As a sports medicine chiropractor with a clinical focus on active women and female athletes, Dr. Colleen brings a training-specific lens to every assessment. That means understanding how injuries present differently in women. How hormonal cycles affect ligament laxity and injury risk. How the demands of HIIT classes, weight lifting, distance running, and team sports each create specific injury patterns that require specific approaches.
We are proud to be one of the only Dallas Clinics combining sports medicine credentials with this level of focus on active women.

Sports Injury Rehab and Return to Training
Getting out of pain is just the start of your care but getting you back to your training at full capacity and preventig future injuries is our actual goal.
At PRIME Sports Medicine, your rehab plan is built around what you are returning to. A marathon runner and a competitive weightlifter with the same hip injury need different progressions. Your plan reflects your sport, your competition timeline, and the specific demands your training places on the injured area.
The PRIME Method
FAQs
Q: Is sports medicine chiropractic different from regular chiropractic?
A: Yes. Sports medicine chiropractic combines chiropractic assessment with a focus on how the body performs under athletic demand. The goal is not just to feel better, but to perform better and reduce the likelihood of the same injury happening again.
Q: Do I need a referral?
A: No referral is needed. Chiropractic care in Texas is accessible without a physician referral.
Q: Can I keep training while receiving care?
A: For most patients, yes. Your provider will give you specific guidance on what to keep doing, what to modify, and what to avoid.
Q: Do you treat old injuries?
A: Yes. Chronic injuries, old sprains that never fully resolved, and compensations that built up over years of training are all within scope.
