High-profile sports bodies like the NFL and Olympic teams also incorporate chiropractic services in their sports medicine programs.
How Sports Stresses the Body
So why do athletes need chiropractic care? Athletes consistently subject their bodies to incredibly intense levels of physical strain. Rapid movements, collisions, and unique body positioning place significant physical stress on your body that’s different from daily stresses.
Whether you’re a football player, long-distance runner, or golfer, such demands can cause spinal misalignments, resulting in loss of motion, flexibility, and speed. They may even predispose your body to injuries.
Notably, many chronic sports-related pains and conditions like tendonitis aren’t fixed by mere painkillers—the root cause often lies in nerve interference caused by these misalignments.
Addressing Nerve Interference & Boosting Performance
By diminishing nerve interference, we enhance blood flow, immune function, motor pattern corrections, and your overall health. Our clients have reported substantial improvements in flexibility, speed, agility, and power during sports participation, mirroring results seen in chiropractic clinics nationwide.
In fact, a study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Investigation highlighted that up to 32% of athletes experienced such improvements after chiropractic care, with an even higher percentage witnessing a decrease in sports-related injuries.
Optimizing Athletic Performance and Recovery
From swimming to swinging, jumping to tackling, young athletes face unique demands and stresses on their bodies that can lead to various sports-related injuries if not properly addressed. Dr. Andrew assesses athletes’ alignment, movement patterns, and muscle strength to identify any imbalances or deficiencies that could increase their risk of injury. By correcting these issues before problems arise, we help athletes perform at their best and help them recover quicker if an injury occurs.
Whether it’s addressing hip mobility restrictions in hockey players, back pain in dancers, or shoulder and elbow issues in baseball and tennis players, our well-rounded approach to sports chiropractic care allows young athletes to compete at the highest level safely and confidently.
When Do Athletes Need Chiropractic?
Athletes shouldn’t wait for an injury to consult a chiropractor. Like eating a nutrient-dense diet and exercising daily, regular chiropractic care helps keep you fit, healthy, and off the sidelines. As Jerry Rice said, “Chiropractic care helped me stay healthy and succeed in the league for as long as I did.”
