Sports and Athletics

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

Chiropractors have been aiding athletes in their sports performance for quite some time. Many successful athletes have banked on Chiropractic wellness care to enhance performance and health i.e.: Lance Armstrong, Ian Thorpe, Joe Naimith, Muhammed Ali, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Donovan Bailey, John McEnroe, Dan O’Brien, Ivan Lendle and countless others. This is why Chiropractors are commonly found to be “team doctors” for many professional, college, high school, and elementary school teams.

Increased Performance

Many amateur and professional athletes wouldn’t dream of competing without first getting a Chiropractor check-up. Research shows that on the average, Chiropractic care increases athletic performance by 17%. When an athlete knows and understands the difference Chiropractic care can make, they gladly have regular Chiropractic care.

An increase in performance is why 75% of the San Francisco 49ers receives Chiropractic care regularly. It is also why over 20 Chiropractors were present in the last Olympics and why Chiropractors are consistently high athletic performers. How about you? Do you want a winning edge in sports or in life in general?

I believe that athletic performance is increased because of an improvement in nerve function. But Chiropractic care isn’t only for athletes. Imagine having a 17% increase in regular life performance. This means that under Chiropractic care people can simply perform better and more frequently in their normal daily duties.

Sports Injuries

Regular visits not only enhance athletic performance, but also help prevent many health problems and protect the spinal column and the lines of communication from brain to body.

Sports injuries nearly always jar and misalign the spinal column: a blow to the ribs, legs, feet, head, shoulder or torso always radiates to the center of the body.

Chiropractic check-ups are often needed when an injury, regardless of the nature of the injury. How many times have you heard of people getting spinal checks after a car accident? Sports injuries are no different.

If an injury is serious enough to need medical care, the spine is almost always damaged as well. Medical doctors are simply not trained to locate and correct spinal subluxations – that is the realm of Chiropractic doctors.
