If you are an athlete or active adult dealing with a nagging injury, you might assume you need to visit a primary care doctor first to get a referral. At Kinetic Sports Medicine and Rehab, we believe your recovery should not be delayed by unnecessary steps or waiting rooms.
The short answer is no. You do not need a referral to begin chiropractic care or manual therapy at our clinic. Because we operate as a direct-access facility, you have the freedom to take control of your health immediately. Whether you are managing chronic pain or looking to optimize your performance, you can book your appointment directly and start your healing journey right away.

What Direct Access Means for You
Direct access means you are the primary decision-maker in your healthcare journey. In Centennial, CO, you can bypass the traditional medical hurdles that often delay specialized treatment. When you experience a flare-up of sciatica, a sudden ankle sprain, or persistent neck pain, time matters.
By coming directly to Kinetic Sports Medicine and Rehab, our team can conduct a functional movement assessment right away. This immediate attention helps prevent a minor issue from becoming a major setback. Our goal is to identify root causes and get you back to the activities you love without the frustration of unnecessary delays.
Sport-Specific Chiropractic and Manual Therapy in Centennial, CO
Generic treatment plans produce generic results. At Kinetic Sports Medicine and Rehab, care is tailored to the specific demands of your sport or activity. Whether you are a CrossFit athlete, a golfer, or a dedicated runner, your treatment plan is built around your lifestyle and goals.
CrossFit Athletes
CrossFit demands a high level of mobility, stability, and strength. We regularly help athletes manage shoulder impingement, low back pain, and knee discomfort that may be limiting their performance. By focusing on movement efficiency and corrective exercise programming, we help you stay under the barbell and train safely.
Golfers
Golf requires precision and explosive rotational power. Using Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) testing, we identify physical limitations that may be affecting your swing. Whether the goal is improving hip mobility for a more powerful drive or addressing golfer’s elbow, our manual therapy techniques are designed to keep you on the course and performing at your best.
Runners
Running injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and runner’s knee can be incredibly frustrating. We offer running gait analysis and running form assessments to identify the root cause of your pain. Our evidence-based rehab protocols focus on building the strength and resilience needed to return to running and reach your next personal best.

A Comprehensive Approach to Chronic Pain and Performance
At Kinetic Sports Medicine and Rehab, we go well beyond traditional adjustments. Our clinic uses evidence-based protocols to address chronic pain and support athletic performance through a combination of hands-on and active treatment strategies.
Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may include:
- Dry Needling and Acupuncture to release deep muscle tension and address trigger points
- IASTM / Graston and Scraping to improve soft tissue mobility and circulation
- Cupping to support fascial decompression and tissue recovery
- Joint Mobilization and Manipulation to restore proper range of motion in the spine and extremities
- Myofascial Release and Soft Tissue Mobilization to address restrictions throughout the body
- Therapeutic Exercise to build strength, stability, and long-term resilience
- Kinesio and Athletic Taping to provide support during training and daily activity
This multi-modal approach ensures that every aspect of your injury or performance limitation is addressed, not just the symptom.
