Chiropractic treatment<\/a> and sports go hand in hand. They are a perfect complement to each other. Athletes of all levels and sports require their bodies to function at its highest capabilities. Chiropractic maximizes the body\u2019s healing capacity and enhances function by re-establishing proper skeletal motion and optimizing nerve flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     An impressive list of athletes who state chiropractic treatment helped elevate their play and boost their careers includes; Superbowl MVP\u2019s Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Joe Montana,  Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, NFL superstars Roger Craig and Maurice Jones-Drew, Gold medal decathlon champion Dan O\u2019Brien, Heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield, Seven time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, Seven time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger, MLB career homerun leader Barry Bonds, MLB superstars Johnny Damon and Trevor Hoffman, Baseball Hall of Famers John Smoltz and Wade Boggs, PGA golfers Tiger Woods and Fred Funk, and NBA Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and  Charles Barkley. This list of elite athletes of numerous sports displays the wide-spread utilization of Chiropractic treatment by athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pro Football Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Jerry Rice, a spokesperson for The Foundation of Chiropractic Progress, stated, \u201cChiropractic care was the key to keeping me in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Competitive and recreational athletes of all levels can benefit from chiropractic treatment. Beginners and top-tier competitors in numerous sports including football, boxing, martial arts, mixed martial arts, golf, running, cycling, lacrosse, triathlons, baseball, softball, track and field, strength events, basketball, hockey, wrestling, power lifting, soccer, volleyball, swimming, water polo and many more can improve their game with regular chiropractic care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Chiropractic care<\/a> is a catalyst for improving an athlete\u2019s health, fitness, function and recuperation. Athletes of all ages profit by having their body\u2019s function at its highest capabilities. Youth baseball players, senior triathletes and all ages in between can benefit. Athletes utilize chiropractic treatment to lessen the painful effects training, practicing and playing has on their bodies and to allow their bodies to heal more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Athletic injuries occur for many reasons including incorrect training practices, repetition, trauma and poor warm-up. Unexpected injuries also occur for no reason. Chiropractic care restores correct skeletal joint motion, optimizes nerve flow, decreases muscle tension, increases range of motion and decreases symptoms. These factors lead to a maximization of the body\u2019s healing capabilities and increased musculoskeletal function. Improved healing and optimal function add up to injury prevention, faster recovery and increased performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Chiropractic treatment for athletes helps repair various injuries including but not limited to aches and pains, sore muscles, pulled muscles, muscles strains, ligament sprains, neck pain, headaches, lower back pain, sciatica<\/a>, tennis elbow, golfer\u2019s elbow, runner\u2019s knee<\/a>, trochanter bursitis, bicep tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, shin splints<\/a> and plantar fasciitis<\/a>. Nerve impingement injuries like stingers and burners<\/a> are common ailments treated by chiropractic doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Golfers commonly suffer neck, lower back<\/a>, ribcage, inner elbow and ACL injuries<\/a>. Runners and jumpers obtain lower extremity injuries such as shin splints<\/a>, iliotibial band syndrome<\/a>, patello-femoral pain syndrome<\/a>, patellar tendinopathy<\/a> and plantar fasciitis<\/a>. Throwing athletes acquire rotator cuff tendinopathy, medial epicondylitis and neck pain. Athletes in racquet sports get lateral epicondylitis and ribcage sprain\/strains. Basketball players, volleyball players and skaters suffer ankle sprains<\/a>. Swimmers get bicep and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Football players get high ankle sprain<\/a> and stingers and burners<\/a>. Wrestlers and fighters suffer from neck<\/a> and knee injuries<\/a>. Bowlers get wrist injuries and sciatica<\/a>. Hockey players acquire hip flexor<\/a>, foot<\/a> and back injuries<\/a>. Soccer players acquire groin muscle injuries<\/a> and hamstrings strains<\/a>. This list is only a small portion of the conditions acquired by athletes that a doctor of chiropractic treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       Chiropractic care is drug-free, surgery-free functional medicine. The primary objective of chiropractic care is the optimization of nerve flow and the re-establishment of correct skeletal biomechanics. Chiropractic treatment is ideal for preventive and maintenance care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Chiropractic doctors utilize a treatment procedure called the chiropractic adjustment or chiropractic manipulation. The chiropractic adjustment is a high velocity, low-amplitude, focused thrust that re-establishes proper motion to a joint and reduces nerve impingement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       Proper skeletal motion and optimum nerve flow maximizes the body\u2019s function and healing capabilities. Athletes demand the most out of their bodies. Chiropractic treatment helps athletes achieve their goals by placing the body in a position to work to at its highest capacity, lessening injury recovery time and improving function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
