ATHLETES

Chiropractic Care for Athletes
Being an athlete is very fulfilling and exciting to people of all ages. At times, unfortunately, some activities can result in painful injuries that not only affect performance but also quality of life. Some injuries such as sprains, strains and muscle tears along with more severe injuries can occur. If not treated properly these injuries can become nagging or chronic and cause ongoing athletic performance to become difficult. 

However, when seeing a chiropractor, acute along with chronic and preventative treatments described as noninvasive can include spinal/joint manipulations as well as recommendations for exercises. Other focal points considered for athletes is designed to improve strength, flexibility, blood flow and range of motion. An estimated 90% of all world-class athletes routinely use chiropractic treatments to prevent injuries and boost their performance. A sports chiropractor can develop a specific drug free treatment plan not only to reduce pain in a sports injury but to create a pain free environment utilizing the nervous system of the body to heal. The benefits from chiropractic care have long been utilized by medical teams to not only assist in the treatment of athletes but also with the prevention of injuries.

MEMORABLE ATHLETES CHIROPRACTIC SUCCESS STORIES

Kristy, a triathlete...

An athlete comes into the clinic. She was not just an athlete but a specialized athlete who did ironman triathlons. An ironman triathlete is someone who swims 2.4-miles (3.86 km), does a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run. An effort that is extraordinary in which a very healthy person can only do. This fact could potentially cause most people to also think once again, ‘why would a person that healthy need to see a chiropractor’? They are perfectly healthy, right? 

The answer is of course they are really healthy, but we don’t treat patients solely on their presentation of pain. Pain is the last to show and the first to go, and it’s easier to prevent than it is to cure. The reason I bring that last point up is because a patient, Kristy, sought out chiropractic care in order to keep functioning at a high level. I am happy to say that after 12 years of competing in ironman’s and other high endurance races, Kristy is still out there doing it!!
