Great North Athletics provides quality one-on-one sessions with Dr. Lindholm, who understands your specific needs, activity, or sport. Unlike many chiropractors or physical therapists who rely on assistive personnel, you’ll get undivided attention for the duration of your visit.

The truth is, most chiropractors do about 10% of what we do at GNA. In addition to what a ‘typical’ chiropractor may do, we offer other services such as soft tissue treatment, dry needling, rehab exercises, functional assessments, and performance training.

Most importantly, any treatment plan is custom-tailored to your specific needs. One size never fits all at GNA. We create a plan for your specific goals, aimed not only at calming your pain but also solving the problem at its root and reloading your body for peak performance.

During your first visit, one of our Doctors of Chiropractic will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose the root cause of your symptoms. A functional movement assessment is included to better understand how your movement patterns may be contributing to your pain or injury. This evaluation is crucial, as it provides insight into

your specific challenges, limitations, and goals. Based on their findings, the Doctor will provide hands-on treatment as well as rehab exercises, education about your condition, and a home program. The goal is to reduce pain, restore movement, and build resilience for long-term results. All of this is part of your customized treatment plan that serves as your personal roadmap to recovery and long-term success.

You will always work directly with a Doctor of Chiropractic who is an expert in your activity, sport, or injury. We emphasize a deep understanding of your specific movements and demands of your activity or sport, which helps in creating the most effective treatment plan possible.

We offer a comprehensive approach that often goes beyond what other providers offer, focusing on one-on-one care and personalized rehab. We welcome clients who want a more individualized approach or are looking for a second opinion. If there’s an opportunity, we’re also happy to co-manage your treatment and coordinate care for you.

No, adjustments are just one tool we use. Only about 50% of our patients receive adjustments. We use various techniques and treatments based on your specific needs.

We recommend loose-fitting, athletic clothing that allows you to move easily. Depending on the treatment, your Doctor may need to perform skin-to-skin contact around the injured area.

Yes, our treatment plans include at-home exercises. Most patients experience faster results when incorporating these exercises. Your Doctor will tailor them to your goals and progress. While we’re happy to provide more in-office care if needed, being active in your recovery can significantly reduce the number of visits required. Our goal is to empower you to be a part of the process, understanding your pain and injury and helping you to get better, faster, and for longer.

Every client’s recovery is different, but most people work with us for about 8 sessions, progressing through our three-step framework: Reset (Feel Better), Restore (Move Better), and Reload (Perform Better). You’ll see improvements immediately, but completing the full plan ensures long-term, lasting results.

In most cases, no. We aim to keep you active and may adjust your routine to prevent further injury while still allowing you to stay active and train or compete.
