Chiropractic Care in Professional Sports
Did you know all 32 teams in the National Football League and all 30 teams in Major League Baseball have chiropractors on staff?
Baseball players’ most common injuries are due to overuse in their elbows and shoulders. Repetitive throwing motion can cause stress on the shoulder, leading to rotator cuff and labral tears and shoulder instability.
This is why coaches and players have realized how beneficial it is to maintain an optimum nervous system—not only for performance, but also for recovery.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Athletes
It’s essential to receive chiropractic adjustments to help alleviate pain caused by joint dysfunction or misalignment, which can hinder your performance and training.
Chiropractic care will improve flexibility and range of motion by addressing joint restrictions, potentially enhancing flexibility and performance, which is crucial for many athletic movements.
Adjustments improve nerve communication, leading to faster reaction times and better coordination. Chiropractic care aids in post-workout recovery by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, allowing you to train harder and more frequently.
What to Expect at Priestley Family Chiropractic
At Priestley Family Chiropractic, we start with a thorough consultation to learn what your concerns are.
We have nerve studies that check your heart rate variability to see how your body is handling stress in a restful situation. We also do electromyography to see if there is nerve interference causing muscular tension, as well as thermal scans to see how your organs and glands are functioning.
We then take digital X-rays if necessary. Then, as a team, we sit down to review the findings and report to you what we found and where chiropractic can help you.
So, give us a call today and get checked.
