Sports Chiropractic in Peachtree City, Georgia
For the serious recreational athlete who has no intention of slowing down.
You're not a professional athlete — but you train like your sport matters, because it does. Pickleball leagues, weekend golf, tennis matches, race mornings, the gym before work. You're competitive, you're committed, and when something starts hurting, "just stop playing" is the one answer you're not looking for.
That's exactly who Restorative Care Chiropractic is built for. Dr. Julie O'Shaughnessy holds a Master of Science in Sports Science on top of her chiropractic doctorate — and she's a serious recreational athlete herself, so she gets it. This office is equipped with the recovery technology most chiropractors don't have, and the entire approach is built around one goal: finding what's actually wrong, fixing the cause, and getting you back to your sport at full strength — then keeping you there.

We Won't Tell You to Slow Down
Here's what most providers get wrong about the athlete over 40: they treat your age as the problem and "take it easy" as the solution. Dr. Julie takes the opposite view. Your body can absolutely keep competing in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond — it just needs smarter management than it did when you were younger.
What actually changes with age is recovery and resilience: tendons heal more slowly, muscle is easier to lose and harder to rebuild, mobility tightens without maintenance, and old injuries resurface. None of that means quitting. It means recovering better, moving better, and staying ahead of the small issues before they cost you a season. That's what a sports-science approach — and the technology in this office — is built to do.
Why Dr. Julie — The Sports Science Difference
- Master of Science in Sports Science — advanced training in how the athletic body moves, loads, and recovers, not just how to treat a symptom
- A serious recreational athlete herself — she trains, competes, and understands why slowing down isn't the plan
- Advanced recovery technology — Class IV laser, shockwave, the Leander flexion-distraction table, and Dolphin MPS microcurrent, in one office
- Root-cause approach — she finds and corrects the mechanics, stability, and conditioning gaps behind your injury, so it stops coming back
- 25+ years of clinical experience — treating active people and getting them back to doing what they love

Recovery & Performance Support
Serious athletes recover between sessions, not just during them — so Dr. Julie carries the recovery tools she trusts, chosen the same way she chooses everything in the office: by what actually works.
Professional-Grade Supplements — supplement support through Thorne and Fullscript, including NSF Certified for Sport options, chosen to support recovery, joint health, and performance.
Red Light Therapy for Home — clinician-selected red light (photobiomodulation) devices — targeted recovery wraps, handheld units, and skin masks — the at-home complement to the Class IV laser Dr. Julie uses in the office. A simple way to support recovery between visits.
Stop the Cycle of Recurring Injury
The most frustrating thing isn't the first injury — it's the same one coming back again and again. Recurring injuries almost always have an underlying cause that isolated treatment never addresses: a stability deficit, a movement compensation, a conditioning gap, or a mechanics issue. Dr. Julie's assessment identifies what's actually driving yours and corrects it — so you can keep playing the sport you love without being sidelined every few weeks.
FAQ's
She holds a Master of Science in Sports Science in addition to her chiropractic doctorate, the office is equipped with advanced athletic recovery technology, and her entire approach is built around treating athletic injuries and returning patients to full performance. She's also a serious recreational athlete herself.
No. Dr. Julie's focus is the serious recreational athlete — the person who trains and competes because their sport matters to them, at any level. If you're committed to your sport and want to keep doing it well, you're exactly who this practice is for.
Yes. Plenty of dedicated recreational athletes compete well into their later decades. The difference is smarter management: better recovery, maintained mobility, and staying ahead of small injuries. That's the core of Dr. Julie's approach.
Often, no. "Stop playing" is the easy answer, but it's rarely the only one. In most cases the real issue is a treatable injury or a fixable mechanics or mobility problem — not your age. Dr. Julie gives you an honest assessment of what's going on and what it would take to keep you in the game.
Restorative Care Chiropractic is a cash-based practice and does not bill insurance directly. Many patients use HSA/FSA funds, and a superbill can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
A thorough assessment to find the real driver of your pain or performance issue — including movement and mechanics — followed by a clear plan built around getting you back to your sport. See our New Patient page for details.
