The Winning Edge
Chiropractic and massage can give your athletic endeavors an edge, improve your athletic ability by helping to keep you healthy and in top form and by keeping minor injuries from becoming major ones. Team Doctor
That's why you'll find chiropractors as "team doctors" for professional, Olympic, college, high school, junior high, and elementary school sports. That's also why chiropractic has been used by champions: Boxing heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield; Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Roger Craig of the four time Super Bowl champions San Francisco 49ers in football; Chi Chi Rodriguez in golf; world champion kick-boxer Dennis Alexio; as well as champions in virtually every major sport are becoming regular chiropractic patients. Many of these athletes insist on being adjusted by their chiropractors just prior to competition. They feel they are not able to perform at their optimum ability without the reassurance that they have full range of motion without restriction in their joints. In all these sports, chiropractors help keep the athlete on the field and help stop minor injuries from becoming major ones without the use of drugs or surgery! Better Reaction Time & Coordination Athletes under chiropractic and care were compared with a control group that received no care for agility, balance, power, speed, reaction, and hand reaction time. After six weeks, the chiropractic group had a 10.7% improvement, while the control group had a 4.5% improvement. After 12 weeks, the chiropractic group's improvement was16.7%! "The [chiropractic] athlete reacts faster, coordinates better, executes fine movements with improved accuracy and precision, amounting to an overall better athlete. Many amateur and professional athletes wouldn't dream of competing without first getting a chiropractic spinal checkup. Team Chiropractor
And let us not forget the millions of people who regularly perform aerobic workouts. Exercise workouts are much more effective when the spine is balanced. "Getting in shape" could always include the "shaping" of the spinal column and musculature by a good chiropractor and massage therapist. Sports are Designed for Chiropractic Care and Massage Take, for example, golf, tennis racquetball and handball. Swinging a club or racquet or throwing a ball are all one-sided activities which can cause the spinal column to lose its natural balance. But you don't have to be an Olympiad, a professional athlete, or a "serious" athlete to benefit from chiropractic and massage care. Americans suffer from 17 million sports-related injuries each year and everyone with such an injury needs regular chiropractic spinal checkups. Even the kinder, gentler sports can create damage from micro-trauma rather than macro-trauma. A leisurely game of billiards, pool, or table tennis may seem like nothing like the collisions of football, soccer, or rugby, but micro-trauma caused by repeating the same movement can eventually wear down a body part as severely as colliding with a defensive lineman or running into a wall. What Your Chiropractor and Massage Therapist
Do
Your chiropractor along with your massage therapist balances your spinal column and relieves stress on your muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Sports injuries nearly always jar and misalign your spine and the structures near it. A trauma to anywhere in your body can damage your spine - a blow to the ribs, legs, feet, head, shoulder, or torso. can radiate to the spine. If you play any sport you should receive a chiropractic spinal checkup to ensure that your spine is balanced and free from misaligned vertebrae causing "pinched nerves" (spinal subluxations). Chiropractic and massage care may give you the winning edge. That is why their are many amateur, Olympic, and professional athletes who wouldn't dream of entering competition without a chiropractic spinal checkup. Severe Trauma? Athletes who experience a trauma need chiropractic and massage. The orthodox medical profession specializes in the management of fractures, torn flesh, ripped tendons, dislocations, blood and fluid loss, and other emergency attention. However, most victims of trauma leave the hospital with serious spinal subluxations from their accidents because MD's are not trained to locate and correct this form of spinal damage. That is the realm of chiropractic care. How About You? Want that winning edge? A little more balance? A little more lightness to your step? "Getting in shape" should always include a periodic chiropractic and massage "shaping up" of the spine. (Adapted from Koren Publishing) |
