Athletes are under a tremendous amount of stress to perform and excel in sports. Neurostructural chiropractic care helps the body to adapt and respond quickly to any changes in the environment.
When the spinal column is brought into balance and alignment, the body’s nervous system and body biomechanics are maximized leading to maximum performance of the athletes.
One big concern among athletes is getting injured during the season. There are essentially two categories that athletic injuries fall into: traumatic or repetitive and overuse. Traumatic, which is usually the result of a sudden impact or unseen force. Repetitive overuse is an action done multiple times a day, such as swinging a racket or a golf club. In fact, virtually every workout results in micro-injuries as the body is torn down and then rebuilt through rest and recovery.
You cannot FEEL these repetitive overuse injuries happening until they have been there for a while.
Athletic injures are often caused by improper biomechanics or muscle imbalances within the spine. With our exam and analysis we are confident we can find the weak areas in the spine and be able to prevent them from becoming major injuries.
Neuro-Structural Chiropractic adjustments for children of all ages are of tremendous benefit for the treatment and prevention of injuries and to maximize performance potential.
