Most athletes are generally concerned with what they can do to improve performance, avoid injuries and facilitate the healing process of previous injuries. A Doctor of Chiropractic is trained to evaluate and treat many injuries that can occur due to sports.

An adjustment and soft tissue manipulation to areas of the spine, joints and tissue which have been over used, displaced or fail to function normally can help restore proper position and motion to allow for the body to heal properly. Injuries such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, joint pain of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot can be treated effectively with chiropractic care and Active Release Technique.

When your body is in better alignment and has full range of motion, your nervous system is finely tuned; therefore, the body is able to work to its fullest ability. This can lead to better performance, fewer injuries and quicker recovery.

Many professional athletes, such as Lance Armstrong, Derek Parra, Tiger Woods and Carl Lewis to name a few, have pursued Chiropractors as a regular part of their healthcare. Chiropractors have been attending doctors at the Olympic Games as well as for professional sport teams.

Working on athletes can be very rewarding because they tend to take care of their body, follow treatment plan, do home exercises and their bodies respond a little faster than the average individual.
