Chiropractic and Sports

As an athlete you never think you will be injured. All athletes from the casual surfer to the professional boxer challenge their bodies in unique ways. The repetitive motions that are required for any sport predispose the athlete to injury. Every sport has repetitive motions i.e.: the perfect swing, or the correct tackle.  These repetitive motions teach the body improper balance and decrease normal range of motion. Chiropractic is a manual therapy designed to maximize range of motion to the joints of the spine, which in turn, improves overall function of the area and decreases pain.

Sports injuries can be a very real problem for all athletes. If you are a sportsman or sportswoman, you have probably suffered from at least one of the following conditions at some time:

Strains, sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, frozen shoulder, back pain, neck pain – the list goes on and on. Chiropractors are specialists in athletic injuries with an emphasis on correcting and preventing musculo-skeletal injuries, and biomechanical imbalances. Chiropractors focus on the complex relationship between the nerves, muscles, and joints of the body and how this relates to the overall functioning/performance of the body. How the spine works (i.e., its biomechanics) can influence the nervous system and in so doing can alter the overall function of the body. Our expertise covers all athletic injuries and also common aches and pains experienced with everyday life. Anyone in need of care is welcome in our office.

Chiropractic – particularly sports chiropractic – can be of enormous benefit in treating and preventing sports-related injuries and improving athletic performance, as many world-class athletes can attest. All NFL teams and most NBA teams have at least one chiropractor on staff. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had the same care available to you, and your family?
