Sports and Chiropractic

It’s no longer the exception; but has now become the norm that athletes seek the benefits of chiropractic care.  Why?  Because chiropractic is a type of health care, with no negative side effects, whose goal is to keep your body working at its optimum.  We change the oil in our cars regularly to maintain them; but fail to do the same for our bodies.  Athletes demand a lot from their bodies and expect top performance at all times.  Injuries can sideline an athlete for seasons, and sometimes for years.  With regular chiropractic care, your body is kept in top shape, so it doesn’t succumb to injury.  The great news; is that when your body does get injured (because not everything is preventable), a well maintained body, heals much quicker with a much quicker and more effective return to sport time frame.  https://www.acatoday.org/News-Publications/ACA-News-Archive/ArtMID/5721/ArticleID/201/Up-Your-Game-Sports-Chiropractic-Enhances-Care

Regardless of whether you are involved in high impact sports, such as football, rugby or hockey or less impactful sports like baseball, tennis or golf, your body takes a beating.  Whether the beating is from impact or repetitive strain, the toll on our bodies is unavoidable.  Athletes typically and traditionally use ice and over the counter medications for relief.  What if there was a way to not only relieve the discomfort, but also promote the healing of your body for improvement, not only for today, but for future performance as well?  That’s exactly what chiropractic care does.  Doctors of chiropractic are specially trained to maintain flexibility and improve range of motion and nerve function, which not only lessens the risk of injuries, but also leads to quicker recovery times.  A 2012 study reported in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that a group of national level judo athletes improved their grip strength by 16 percent following three visits to a doctor of chiropractic. And a 1997 report in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research found that chiropractic care improved muscle strength and distance jumps among baseball players.
