Sports Chiropractic Care

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Your spine is the foundation of your entire body, so it’s important to keep it healthy and free from pain. In fact, the health of your spine often determines your overall level of mobility, whether that refers to easily completing everyday tasks or performing optimally in athletic endeavors. 

Chiropractic care is a natural, safe, and drug-free way to maintain the health of your spine, as well as your entire musculoskeletal system. 

Although many associate chiropractic care with spinal adjustments and manipulations that correct misalignments and relieve back pain, it also includes a number of other modalities aimed at all parts of the body. These include massage therapy, cupping, injury, and surgical rehabilitation, concussion therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, among others, all designed to prevent and treat pain and injury.

Chiropractic Care For Athletes

Whether your sport involves running, jumping, swinging, lifting or tackling, it’s likely your body accepts a certain measure of stress and strain. Impact injuries, overuse conditions and even soreness can make staying in the game difficult.  

With regular chiropractic care, athletes can maintain alignment in the spine and limbs, experience relief from overly tight, constricted muscles, see noticeable improvements in posture, gait and muscle imbalance issues, and become better educated on how form and technique imperfections may be contributing to pain and injury. 

The injured athlete can heal faster and more fully when chiropractic rehabilitation is included in their recovery program. They also reduce the likelihood of future injury.

Chiropractic Care For Improved Quality Of Life

We all place a high value on moving throughout the day without pain, especially as we age, and injuries to the lower back, shoulders, elbows, knees and other joints, are not limited to those with athletic pursuits. 

Overuse conditions can arise over time from repetitive motions associated with one’s occupation, hobbies and even swinging grocery bags in and out of the car. 

Chiropractic care can help facilitate ease of movement for anyone who regularly performs tasks that involve lifting and carrying heavy objects, bending and reaching for out-of-the-way items, climbing stairs and ladders and even sleeping in awkward positions.

Chiropractic For Everyone

For athletes and non athletes alike, regular chiropractic care can improve overall body and nervous system function by treating pain, reducing inflammation and enhancing mobility through gentle, hands-on therapies. 

A big part of our practice at DTX Sports Medicine focuses on educating our patients about to how take better care of their spine through exercise, proper ergonomics, and other therapies aimed at treating or preventing injury.
