Athletes and Chiropractic

Did you know that chiropractic care can not only help correct sport related injuries, but can also prevent them? High impact sports that involve running, jumping, and tackling can all result in tears, sprains, and strains to your body. Not only can our chiropractors prevent and correct back injuries, but we can also prevent and correct neck, shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries!

All three of our Chiropractors played collegiate sports. We all have personal experience as to what athletes go through on a day to day basis. This experience helps us provide great care to athletes to get them ready for game day.

Below are just a few common reasons athletes frequently receive chiropractic care:

Enhance Performance:

• Chiropractic care can provide preventative treatments before injuries occur, and regular adjustments assist in keeping the body in peak conditions

• Athletic activity can cause joint and muscle soreness, and frequent adjustments can ensure that your spine is not the source of the pain

• Chiropractic care also optimizes the nervous system, which can allow for better functioning of the musculoskeletal system. This can lead to increased athletic performance.

Reduce Wear and Tear:

• Reduce long-term effects that come hand in hand with athletic performance with regular adjustments

Treat Injuries Without Drugs:

• Receive treatment to overcome common injuries without the use medications

Increased Flexibility:

• Many athletes get treatment to increase their flexibility, and maintaining flexible joints can help athletes prevent injuries

Chiropractic care is important for athletic performance, injury prevention, and keeping active. Being active takes a big toll on the body and competing in high impact sports can lead to spinal misalignments. Chiropractic care is an effective, non-invasive way to treat and prevent sports injuries!
