Although physiotherapists do work with athletes, they work in a team made up of medical doctors, nutritionists & dietitians, performance coaches and chiropractors.
I have actually written a blog on this topic, as there is a complete specialised field for athletes known as sports chirorpactic.

So in short; Yes, chiropractors work with athletes…and… there is a team of health professionals that work with the athlete.
Idealy, this is how every individual should be looked after. By a team of professionals all using their strengths to improve the health of that individual.
