Recover Faster, Reduce Pain & Restore Mobility with Expert Chiropractic Care
Surgery is only the first step in the healing process. What you do before and after your procedure can make a huge difference in your recovery time, pain levels, and long-term mobility.
At Doc Muli’s Body Shop in Walnut Creek, we provide specialized chiropractic care to prepare your body before surgery and accelerate your healing after surgery. Using Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT), spinal alignment, and soft tissue therapy, we help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore strength—so you can get back to living pain-free, faster.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care Before & After Surgery?

Prepares the body for surgery by optimizing alignment & function

Reduces post-surgical pain & inflammation

Speeds up recovery & prevents muscle loss

Restores mobility & prevents long-term stiffness
How Chiropractic Care Helps with Surgery Recovery
Sports injuries don’t just happen suddenly, they develop over time due to muscle imbalances, overuse, and improper movement patterns. Without proper treatment, these injuries can weaken performance, limit mobility, and cause long-term damage.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat:
-
Muscle strains & tears (hamstring, quad, calf)
-
Rotator cuff injuries & shoulder pain
-
Knee pain & Runner’s Knee (IT band syndrome)
-
Lower back pain & hip misalignment
-
Concussion & whiplash recovery
-
Pre- and post-op rehabilitation for sports injuries
Many athletes and active individuals mistakenly treat only the pain, ignoring the root cause neurologically inhibited muscles that fail to function properly. That’s where AMIT therapy comes in.
How a Sports Chiropractor Helps Athletes Recover Faster
A sports chiropractor focuses on the body’s biomechanics, muscle function, and joint stability to optimize movement and prevent recurring injuries.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat:
-
Muscle Reactivation & Stabilization – AMIT identifies dormant muscles and restores function.
-
Spinal & Joint Alignment – Corrects imbalances causing chronic pain or limited mobility.
-
Pain Relief & Injury Prevention – Keeps your body strong and resistant to injuries.
If you’ve been dealing with nagging pain, limited motion, or recurring sports injuries, it’s time to address the root cause. Book today and discover how AMIT can help you regain your mobility boost your physical performance.
At Doc Muli’s Body Shop, we don’t just crack backs—we use advanced techniques to reactivate muscles, restore movement patterns, and ensure your body operates at full capacity.

AMIT – The #1 Sports Chiropractic Treatment for Athletes
What is AMIT?
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) is a cutting-edge chiropractic treatment designed to identify and correct muscular imbalances that cause injury, pain, and limited performance.
✔ Identifies "shut down" muscles caused by injury or overuse.
✔ Reactivates & strengthens weak muscles to restore movement.
✔ Eliminates pain by correcting neuromuscular dysfunction.
✔ Prevents further injuries by optimizing biomechanics & stability.
How Does AMIT Work?
-
The muscle fibers tear, leading to a strain or sprain.
-
The nervous system shuts down the muscle, creating instability, compensation issues, and long-term pain.
Did you know?
When a muscle is overloaded beyond its capacity, the body responds in two ways:
When one muscle shuts down, others take on extra workload, leading to:
Joint instability & ligament damage
Joint instability & ligament damage
Joint instability & ligament damage
AMIT corrects these imbalances, restoring optimal muscle function so you can move pain-free.
Why Muscle Reactivation is Essential for Sports Recovery
Why do some athletes recover faster than others?
The answer is muscle activation and balance. When muscles fail to fire correctly, the entire body compensates, leading to more injuries and chronic pain.
❌ Standard chiropractic care only realigns joints, but doesn’t fix muscle dysfunction.
❌ Rest & physical therapy don’t always reactivate inhibited muscles.
❌ Painkillers & injections only mask the issue without long-term results.
The Problem with Traditional Recovery:
-
Fixes biomechanical dysfunction at the root level.
-
Restores power, flexibility & endurance to peak levels.
-
Reduces inflammation & enhances injury recovery.
-
Strengthens muscles to prevent re-injury.
AMIT Therapy Provides the Solution:
That’s why elite athletes, CrossFit competitors, runners, and weekend warriors trust AMIT for recovery & performance enhancement.
What Our Patients Say About AMIT Therapy For Athletic Performnce
I came to Dr. Muehlinghaus after a bad hamstring sports injury. Two Blue Cross ortho docs (very highly respected ones) both gave me the bad news that the best I could expect was some minor pain relief after some years, and there was nothing to be done. No more running for me. Dr. Muelinghaus thought differently, and didn't think giving up was a good plan. After a few months, I was able to run five days a week, with very little discomfort!!
