The Benefits of Chiropractic for Athletes

It is common for athletes to suffer sports injuries because they put their bodies through more than usual. Prescription drugs slow down reaction times, are addictive, and can only mask the pain of injuries. In contrast, undergoing surgery can leave an athlete sidelined for several months. As a result, many athletes seek chiropractic treatment after suffering a sports injury. Here's how chiropractic for athletes can improve athletic performance and prevent injuries.

Improves Athletic Performance

Since all parts of the body are connected, an injury to the spine or knee can affect all other systems within the body. In turn, this can negatively affect athletic performance. Chiropractic for athletes helps keep their spines healthy and function properly when they receive regular adjustments. It is beneficial for athletes to receive regular chiropractic adjustments because they improve the body's overall performance, improving athletic performance.

Prevents Sports Injuries

A slight injury or alignment issue can cause unnecessary stress on the body, often leading to more injuries. Chiropractors prevent injuries by keeping the body's musculoskeletal system functioning properly. Sports injuries can also be prevented with chiropractic programs aimed at injury avoidance. An example would be a chiropractor helping a swimmer correct their postural imbalances, so they don't suffer injuries during a competition.

Ensures Faster Recovery

Chiropractic treatment allows the body to work properly and heal itself more quickly by positioning each bone properly and providing adequate space and blood flow. Additionally, chiropractic care regulates sleep cycles, which is essential to allowing the body to heal. Faster recovery time is vital for athletes, considering many are on strict schedules and can't afford to be out of the game for too long. This makes chiropractic for athletes an excellent treatment option for sports injuries.

Provides Pain Relief

The spine plays a critical role for the nervous system to function properly. In addition to relieving painful symptoms, spinal manipulation restores the body's alignment and allows the nervous system to function optimally. Chiropractic for athletes can alleviate pain and improve athletic performance.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
