Around 90% of world-class athletes use chiropractic care to increase performance and prevent injuries, according to the American Chiropractic Association. In the NFL, every team has a team chiropractor, and US Olympic athletes began using chiropractors in the 1970s.
What have these athletes discovered that can help others who engage in sports keep their bodies in tip-top shape?
Chiropractic care can address and treat muscle imbalances, spinal misalignments and range of motion problems very early in their occurrence, way before it would be severe enough to have surgical correction. By using chiropractic care, an athlete can maximize performance while continuing to participate in the sport they enjoy.
And it's not just for adults. As kids' sports get more competitive, and have begun to be year-round, additional pressures are put on a child's growing body. Chiropractic is a safe, effective way to keep joints and muscles performing at their peak, while also allowing proper growth and development, and preventing injuries.
Chiropractic is even beneficial for our tiniest athletes; toddlers who spend their days climbing, jumping, running and continually falling. They may be the ones who have the most frequent small traumas of all!
