Meet Dr. Zach Higgins – Apex, NC’s Sports Performance Chiropractor
Born and raised in Apex, North Carolina, Dr. Zach Higgins brings a unique combination of local roots and specialized expertise to his chiropractic practice. As a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician with a Doctorate of Chiropractic and a Master’s in Sports Performance, Dr. Higgins offers a level of specialized care rarely found in traditional chiropractic offices.
Dr. Higgins’ Journey
Dr. Higgins’ path to chiropractic wasn’t always clear. While working at Diamondfit Performance in Raleigh and preparing to apply to graduate school, he experienced debilitating back pain during weight training. After a single visit to a chiropractor recommended by his boss, Dr. Higgins was amazed to find himself pain-free the next day, with a newfound awareness of muscles he “should have been using all along.
This transformative personal experience revealed the power of holistic, root-cause focused healthcare and set him on the path to becoming a chiropractor. Today, that same passion for providing life-changing care drives everything we do at Black Diamond Chiropractic and Sports Performance.

Our Approach: Redefining Chiropractic Care
At Black Diamond Chiropractic, we’re changing what patients should expect from their healthcare experience. While traditional chiropractic care often involves brief 5-10 minute appointments and one-dimensional treatments, we take a fundamentally different approach:
30-Minute Personalized Sessions
We believe effective care takes time. Dr. Higgins spends a full 30 minutes with each patient, allowing for comprehensive treatment that addresses all aspects of your condition. This investment of time enables us to combine multiple therapeutic techniques in a single session, accelerating your recovery.
Multi-Dimensional Treatment
We don’t just adjust and send you on your way. Our treatments integrate various specialized techniques including:
Precision chiropractic adjustments, Myofascial release, Muscle scraping, Flexion distraction, Shockwave therapy, Sports massage and stretching, Cupping therapy, NormaTec compression therapy
This comprehensive approach allows us to address issues from multiple angles, providing faster and more complete resolution of your concerns.

Education-Focused Care
We believe informed patients achieve better outcomes. Dr. Higgins takes the time to thoroughly explain your condition, the treatment approach, and most importantly, how to prevent recurrence. By giving you the knowledge and tools to understand and manage your health, we empower you to take control rather than remaining dependent on the healthcare system.
Our Vision
Dr. Higgins founded Black Diamond Chiropractic with a clear mission: to set a new standard for healthcare where practitioners use every tool available and take the time to form genuine connections with their patients. This vision continues to guide our practice as we grow.
Over the next five years, we plan to expand to three integrated care clinics throughout the Triangle area, where patients will come not just to address injuries but to proactively enhance their performance and prevent future problems.
