About Tucson Chiropractic and Sports Therapy
Tucson Chiropractic & Sports Therapy is a Tucson chiropractic practice focused on sports chiropractic, movement-related pain, and individualized care. Led by Dr. Jared Pierson, DC, CCSP, ART®, the practice works with athletes, active adults, and people dealing with chronic pain or reduced mobility. Its approach centers on understanding how the body moves as a connected system, then addressing movement patterns and soft tissue restrictions that may contribute to pain, injury, or reduced performance.
Dr. Pierson is a Board Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician® and is identified by the practice as Tucson's only chiropractor trained and certified in Active Release Techniques® (ART), as well as one of the few ART Elite Providers in the region. ART is a hands-on soft-tissue treatment that uses precise manual pressure and specific movements to address restricted muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. At Tucson Chiropractic & Sports Therapy, this work may be used alongside chiropractic care to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support better function.
The practice also uses Kinetisense®, a 3D motion analysis and force measurement system. The technology helps assess how a person moves, how force is produced and absorbed, and where compensations may be occurring. Those findings are used to create more targeted treatment plans, customize exercises, and track changes over time. The practice describes this as a way to make progress measurable rather than relying only on subjective impressions. Common concerns addressed include neck pain, back pain, shoulder and hip issues, sports injuries, overuse injuries, and other movement-related pain.
New patient care begins with a comprehensive, one-on-one evaluation and first treatment. The visit includes an exam and movement assessment, Kinetisense analysis, ART for restricted soft tissue, chiropractic treatment when clinically appropriate, and a personalized exercise program based on the findings. Imaging, such as X-ray or MRI, is ordered only when medically necessary. Follow-up care is available in different visit lengths, depending on a patient's condition, goals, and activity level. The practice says recommendations are guided by progress rather than contracts or long-term commitments, and that the number of visits varies from person to person.
Tucson Chiropractic & Sports Therapy operates as a cash-based practice in a private office on Tucson's north side, with appointments available by scheduling. Care is provided one on one rather than in a high-volume clinic setting, and each visit is tailored to the patient's goals, activity level, and functional limitations. The practice treats recreational and competitive athletes as well as active adults and individuals seeking improved mobility. It also acknowledges that chiropractic care is not appropriate for every condition, and referrals to medical doctors or specialists are made when another type of care is indicated. Interested patients can begin by scheduling a new patient evaluation or contacting the practice to discuss whether its approach fits their needs.
