Why Competitive Athletes From Around the World Choose Chiropractic Care to Stay in the Game!

Did you know that sports chiropractors have helped Olympic athletes win more than 750 medals at the Olympics since 1980?  Competitive athletes know that the difference between winning and losing is sometimes measured in microseconds. Athletes need every little bit of strength, speed and flexibility to perform at a consistent top level.

That’s why, when injuries happen, many turn to chiropractic care rather than more invasive options for healing and pain relief. Prescription drugs dull reaction times and carry a risk of addiction, while surgery might leave an athlete benched for months. A chiropractic sports physician is able to relieve pain without drugs or surgery—all while keeping the body balanced, flexible and at optimal performance. 

The common injuries suffered in many sports can knock the spine out of alignment, causing stress on its pain-sensitive joints, muscles, nerves, discs, and ligaments. In study after study, chiropractic care outperforms other medical options at reducing pain and restoring healthy normal function.

Chiropractic provides proven pain relief from a wide range of common sports injuries, from tennis elbow to groin pain in soccer players to recurrent shoulder instability in hockey players. It also helps with:

  • Headaches from head and neck injuries
  • Back and shoulder pain
  • Ankle and knee injuries

But it’s not just injured athletes who visit chiropractors. In fact, an estimated 90% of all world-class athletes routinely use chiropractic care to prevent injuries and boost their performance. All NFL teams employ on-staff chiropractors. So do 72 percent of PGA golfers and the majority of NBA, MLB, and NHL teams.

One research team found chiropractic care helped a group of injured long-distance runners recover quickly. Sports chiropractors use several techniques to promote rapid healing, including:

  • Massage and stretching, combined with range-of-motion movement
  • State-of-the-art tools used to break down scar tissue
  • Electrical muscle stimulation to release tension near the surface

Chiropractic care helps athletes at all levels achieve optimal performance. That’s why so many athletes—from professional sports teams to high school players—regularly see a chiropractor to stay in top shape.  With over 30 years of combined experience and serving as the team chiropractors for the Norfolk Tides and Admirals including many other local sports teams, Wards Corner Chiropractic will keep you performing at your best.  Book your appointment today 757-588-8908!
