Chiropractic Care For Athletes

What is your chiropractor’s role in your athletic performance?

Chiropractic care has a much bigger impact than most people think. Increased, strength, flexibility, muscle speed, and endurance are all benefits of a chiropractic adjustment.

Athletes beat up their body over the course of a season. An athlete’s body will get worn down, stressed, bruised, and knocked out of place.

Chiropractic adjustments help by putting everything back into place. If a joint is subluxated or stuck, it does not move in its full range of motion. When this happens the joints next to the subluxated joints take on more stress to make up for the stuck joint. Over time this can cause problems even in young athletes.

Chiropractic adjustments can also affect an athlete’s muscles and how efficient they work. A study performed by European Journal of Applied Physiology found that after a single session of spinal manipulative therapy (an adjustment) increased muscle strength and corticospinal excitability (muscle firing speed) in elite Taekwando athletes.

When we talk about sports the difference between a good athlete and a great athlete, they are often fractions of a second. These changes after an adjustment could mean the difference between a tackle or a touchdown, between a spiked volleyball or a blocked one, or the difference in an athletes ability to comfortably run a whole race.
