"I
would suggest that teams have (Dr. Krohse) come in for an
ankle screening...(The benefits were) fewer ankle problems
during the season with “No” severe ankle problems or sprains."

"I would like to thank Dr. Krohse not only for helping
me recover but also for his determination and attitude through
the entire process. Dr. Krohse became part of my team and
also a friend. Thank you David!"

Sports Optimization
& Rehabilitation
Compass Chiropractic
is prepared to guide Des Moines area athletes to
their full potential. Dr. David Krohse has worked previously with
athletes at both high school and collegiate levels as well as participants
of endurance sports. The key to quickly healing athletic injuries
is to completely understand the problem through a thorough examination.
One of the hallmarks of Dr. Krohse's examination is testing the
function of over 60 muscles in the arms and legs, which helps localize
the exact injured tissues as well as underlying factors that may
have made the athlete more likely to become injured. Dr. Krohse
has a full range of therapies to address the pain, swelling, and
disability resulting from athletic injuries and return the athlete
to their passion as soon as possible.
Spinal adjustments and
extremity adjustments will
restore normal function to injured and dysfunctional joints.
Active Release Techniques
has been shown to be especially effective at rapidly returning athletes
to their full potential. Specific
rehabilitative stretches and exercises
will be prescribed to stabilize athletes and keep them on the field,
court, or track and out of our clinic.
Dr. Krohse highly
recommends a Sports Functional Exam for all Des Moines
area elite and recreational athletes serious about performing optimally
and avoiding injury. While a typical sports physical rules out life-threatening
conditions in athletes, this thorough examination insures that all
critical components of optimum performance and stability are functioning
properly. Spinal health and nervous system function will be checked.
The function of over 60 muscles in the arms and legs will be checked.
Flexibility of major sport-specific muscles will be checked.
Ankles will be checked for stability. Foot
arches will be checked for problems and ideal shoe type will be
recommended.
