Chiropractic care

Athletics

Many sports-related injuries involve the spine.

Spinal injuries can restrict range of motion, reduce strength, slow reflexes, shorten endurance, and decrease performance. Chiropractic care for these types of injuries has become increasingly popular.  Professional sports teams, Olympic trainers, and competitive athletes are employing

chiropractic doctors - because they demand results.

Lance Armstrong, winner of the Tour de France in six consecutive years, proudly advocates chiropractic care. In the July 2004 edition of Esquire, we saw him getting adjusted, and learned that he has his spine checked twice a day when he is competing.

Chiropractic care helps restore function to the spinal joints that are "locked up", fixated, and not moving properly. Besides helping to relieve pain chiropractic care can also help reduce inflammation. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments depend on proper joint movement and nerve supply for peak performance.  Injuries to these tissues can reduce range of motion, affect delicate nerves, decrease blood supply, and take you out of the game. Normalizing spinal function helps speed up the healing of these soft tissues and reduce the deconditioning effect of being on the sidelines.

World-class athletes and chiropractic care ...

Many world class and Olympic athletes, as well as professional stars and teams, have retained sports chiropractors to provide care. Joe Montana, Nolan Ryan, Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jubbar, and Carl Lewis all utilize chiropractic care. The Players Association of the NFL has officially incorporated sports chiropractors as a regular part of care. Chiropractors have been selected as attending doctors at the Olympic Games and at national and world championships in track and field, cycling, volleyball, power-lifting, aerobics, and triathlons.

World-class athletes seek chiropractic care because it is a drug-free way to better health and performance.
