Wondering how a sports chiropractor can help? Let’s take a look.
A Healthy Spine Can Improve Performance
Chiropractors spend a lot of time working with the back. Your spinal cord is, in many ways, a foundation for your whole body. Your nerves emerge from your spinal cord and many of the muscles in your back, legs, neck, arms, and elsewhere either connect to the vertebrae, or other tissues that are connected to them. In other words, your spine can and will influence essentially your whole body. If your spine is misaligned, it could cause strain on muscles and other tissues throughout your body. This, in turn, could affect your performance on the field or court. A chiropractor can perform spinal manipulation, AKA chiropractic adjustments, to ensure a healthy alignment of your spine. This could increase mobility, among other things, which will pay off on the field.

Treating Sports Injuries
As an athlete, you will likely suffer some sports injuries from time to time. Often, the injuries are seemingly minor, but without chiropractic care, the pain may linger and potentially become chronic.
A collision on the field or court could knock your spine out of its proper alignment. If so, even plenty of rest may not be enough to eliminate pain and restore performance. A chiropractor can work with you, however, to correct the alignment of the spine via chiropractic adjustments.
Even if your spine isn’t knocked out of shape, your muscles and other tissues may become strained and bruised. A chiropractor can use massage therapy and other tactics to relieve muscle tension and otherwise provide relief for soft tissues. This can reduce pain right now and help speed up your body’s natural healing processes.
Other Ways a Sports Chiropractor Can Help
A chiropractor can help improve your performance with a variety of other tactics as well. For example, the right stretches can reduce muscle tension and strain before you hit the field. In the gym or at home, some chiropractic workouts can both relieve strain and help strengthen the body.
