4 reasons athletes should see a chiropractor
Whether you are a weekend warrior, high school soccer star or full-fledged, professional athlete, chiropractic care can support you in achieving your goals. We all want to improve at the sport we play, it’s human nature. Chiropractic care is a healthy lifestyle strategy that will help you optimize performance while staying on the field.
Injury prevention: They say the best ability is availability. You can’t improve and help your team if you aren’t on the field. Preventative chiropractic care assesses your musculoskeletal system to make sure everything is functioning properly. When subluxated, the joints wear out quicker and more stress is placed on the muscles and ligaments. This predisposed an athlete to faster “wear and tear” and more traumatic injuries like ligament tears and muscle strains.
Improved mobility: Wouldn’t you like to have full mobility so you can make that one-handed catch or dodge that incoming baseball tag? Specific, target adjustments restore motion to restricted areas giving you more mobility.
Better muscle output: Optimizing neurological output to the muscular system allows for more efficient recruitment of muscles. This translates on the field to slower muscle fatigue and better performance.
Sleep, recovery, and growth: After giving it all out on the field, it is crucial to allow your body to recover, grow and heal. Neurologically based chiropractic care improves balance in your ANS so that your body can achieve top performance on the field (by activating your “fight or flight” system) and then rest, grow, heal and recover off the field (by activating your “rest and digest” system).
So… whether you are a weekend warrior or the next Tom Brady, schedule your first visit so we can support you through your athletic journey.
