6 Reason Why Professional Sports Teams Have Chiropractors

Most athletes that perform at a high level today rely on chiropractors to have their back.  Elite athletes like Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith trusted chiropractors to help them during their hall of fame careers.  Aaron Rodgers’s dad is chiropractor! Here are some more reasons professional athletes depend on chiropractors.

Improved range of motion.

Regular chiropractic adjustments will result in improved range of motion. Athletes usually end up with stiffness in muscles and joints froms games and practices. This leads to range of motion being limited. Chiropractic care can help undo stiff muscles and joints leading to pain free movement.

Improved reaction time.

Studies have shown that regular chiropractic care will improve the athletes reaction time.  In the highly competitive sports world, a split second is the difference between winning and losing.

Shortened healing time.

When injuries do occur, chiropractic care get athletes back in the game quicker than without it. 

Receiving chiropractic treatment allows for reduced pain.

Even athletes in peak physical condition still suffer from minor aches and pains.  The most common area that bothers athletes is the lower back.  Chiropractors are specifically trained to align the spine properly, which leads to less or no back pain.

Less prescription drugs are needed for athletes who receive chiropractic treatment.

Even though aches and pains are still treated with prescription pain medications chiropractic care reduces the need for them. This also means that athletes won’t be subjected to the side effects or dependencies that commonly arise from the use of prescription medication.

Chiropractic treatment provides a non-invasive treatment option.

Chiropractic care is non-invasive. Consistent chiropractic care can serve as an alternative to invasive procedures that can leave athletes on the sidelines for weeks or even months.

Ultimately, if you’re an athlete who wants to maintain your physical strength and range of motion, or if you want to recover from an injury without the use of prescriptions and invasive treatments, you may want to consider seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis. You may be surprised by how much better you feel and how much your performance improves when your body is in alignment and pain-free!
