There is a common misconception that sports chiropractic is something only elite athletes need. At Gasdorf Family Chiropractic, we offer the same unparalleled chiropractic care to everyone, from Little League players to weekend warriors to NFL pros. That’s because any sport places demands on the body, and these demands (even though they’re part of the fun) are interpreted by the body as stress. And that stress results in interference in the nervous system.
When an athlete receives regular chiropractic adjustments, it helps remove this interference from the nervous system, so your whole body functions at a higher, better level. In addition, regular adjustments improve the body’s proprioceptive ability, which is the body’s perception of where it is in space and time. When this ability is enhanced, reflexes and coordination improve, helping you play at a higher level.
When your body is functioning optimally, you are less likely to be injured, making chiropractic care an essential component of many training regimens. In addition, when you receive regular care, we can identify many types of overuse injuries in the earliest stages and treat them before they become full-blown and take you out of the game.
Of course, injuries still occur when playing sports, and chiropractic is highly effective in treating sports injuries and helping you recover more quickly than without chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is not only for spines–we address all types of sports injuries, from rotator cuff injuries to torn ACLs to sprained ankles, and everything in between. Extremity adjusting is highly effective in pain reduction and fast healing of sports injuries and accidents to the joints.
Don’t wait until you’re injured to begin sports chiropractic care! No matter what your sport or activity, we can help your body function at its highest potential, so you can enjoy better performance.
