How Chiropractic Can Help with Athletic Performance

When it comes to athletic performance, athletes of all levels are looking for what can take them to the next level. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or extreme athlete, chiropractic may be what your routine is missing. Here’s how chiropractic care can help.

Performance Enhancement

The brain/body connection is important, especially when you are pushing your body. Chiropractic helps ensure the connection and communication between your central nervous system and the rest of your body is functioning optimally.

At Preferred Chiropractic, our chiropractors locate and remove joint dysfunctions that may be limiting the communication between your brain and body. This is important no matter what your activity level is, but particularly for athletes. With effective, hands-on chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractors resolve these dysfunctions so your body can communicate at its best which has the benefit of enhancing your athletic performance.

Faster Recovery Time

All athletes experience aches, pains, soreness, and fatigue that takes time to recover from. Recovery is a huge part of any athlete’s routine and chiropractic care can help make recovery time more effective. With regular chiropractic adjustments, you can remove joint dysfunction, reduce the risk of injury, and improve recovery time.

Improve Stability

Stability is important for athletes to properly engage in movements and reduce injuries. With improved stability comes an improved range of motion. When joint dysfunctions are removed, muscle tension is reduced and mobility is increased allowing joints to move through their full range of motion.

The correction of asymmetries also helps improve stability. You may have heard of someone claiming to have one leg longer than the other, but the truth is nobody is exactly symmetrical. That can lead to issues that make stability in sports an issue. Chiropractic helps prepare your body to deal with these ever so slight differences while ensuring misalignments and joint dysfunctions don’t lead to bigger problems down the road that can impact health, wellness, and performance.
