It’s estimated that over 90% of all world-class athletes use Chiropractic care to prevent injuries and to increase their performance potential. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Tiger Woods are just a few of those elite athletes. Tom Brady says “Chiropractic just makes you feel so much better. When I walk out of the clinic, I feel like I’m 3 inches taller and everything’s in place. And as long as I see the chiropractor, I feel like I’m one step ahead of the game”.

You don’t have to be an elite athlete to experience these benefits. You might be an amateur athlete, a weekend warrior, a committed dog walker, or a gardener. Regular chiropractic adjustments help remove subluxations that may cause pain or discomfort, allowing athletes to function optimally. The adjustments also help improve your range of motion and flexibility of the joints and muscles, which results in improved performance. Chiropractic care can also help to reduce inflammation and muscle soreness, allowing athletes to recover faster after training and competitions. Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care to get healthy, stay healthy and stay in the game, whatever your game or activity.

Athletes under regular chiropractic care also experience fewer injuries and recover more quickly when they are injured. Through spinal adjustments, chiropractors can ensure the optimal alignment of the body, which reduces any pressure placed on the joints, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Ultimately, this leads to better body function, improved agility, flexibility, and balance. This allows them to train more effectively which results in a performance boost. The difference between winning and losing can be 1/1,000 of a second, so every little bit counts. In one recent study, when a flattened (militarized) neck curve was corrected, there was a 20% increase in the speed of the nerve flow from the brain into the body. This can be a huge performance benefit in any sport or activity.

I have cared for many athletes of all kinds over the years. One of my favorite experiences is when half of a volleyball team would come in on the same day every week. The girls told me it was because they could tell that their vertical jumps were much better, and they wanted to maximize those benefits to give them that extra edge.

Chiropractic care is an essential aspect of the overall health and well-being of any athlete. Whether you are a casual or professional athlete, your body is your most valuable asset, and taking good care of it is crucial for success. Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive way to help athletes maintain and improve their physical health, while also enhancing their athletic performance. So, if you are an athlete who wants to stay healthy and perform at your best, consider incorporating chiropractic care into your health routine.

WHAT DOES A CHIROPRACTIC DOCTOR DO?

• Chiropractors are specially trained to examine patients for spinal misalignments (vertebral subluxations).
• When detected, Chiropractors use safe, effective adjustments to restore proper spinal movement, correct subluxations and remove nervous system interference.
• At the Chiropractic Arts Center of Austin, we also offer Cold Laser to help joints, muscles, nerves, bones and cartilage heal more quickly. It is a remarkable healing technology.

Whether you are an elite athlete or someone who wants to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle, Chiropractic care can benefit you. Old injuries, repetitive tasks and the effects of gravity can wreak havoc on the body. It is well-known that an optimally aligned spine moves better and faster and heals well from the stressors we all live with.
