Professional sports figures are consistently reaching new heights in their
professional careers. With each passing year, new records are shattered and
the human body is pushed to its limits. Everyday athletes follow suit by
pushing themselves harder, choosing rigorous training patterns, and taking
their diets to a new level. Despite the meticulous care and training that
athletes take, they experience musculoskeletal injuries.
Chiropractors are to athletes, just as Cardiologists are to
those who suffer with cardiovascular disease. Chiropractors have specific
training in evaluating and treating the injuries and ailments of athletes.
Chiropractors can treat an injured athlete more effectively than a medical
doctor, who is not well versed in sports injuries. In addition to treating
athletic injuries, the chiropractor is skilled in aiding the athlete in
injury prevention.
Athletes who receive treatment from a medical
doctor find themselves frequently benched and on the sidelines. Others play
and then spend hours after the game with ice packs and taking pain
medication. Medical doctors do not treat the body as an integrated system,
but rather treats each injury individually.
It has been said that
chiropractic care most closely relates to the needs of the athlete because
special attention is given to the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, and
nerves. Chiropractic ensures that all pieces of the musculoskeletal system
are working in harmony and in their healthiest, most natural state.
Professional athletes see such a great value in chiropractic
treatment that they regularly have chiropractic well visits to prevent
injuries. If you are an athlete or weekend warrior, chiropractic care will
enable you to reach peak performance, without breaking yourself. Make an
