Sports Chiropractic for
Peak Performance

...A Winning Combination

Whether we participate in sports or recreational activities for fun, fitness, or as a profession, the importance of maintaining a well-balanced, well-coordinated, pain-free body is sought after by those of us wanting to get the most out of our efforts. 

The promise of peak performance has prompted thousands of athletes at all levels from high school to professionals to make chiropractic an integral part of their training regimen. In today's highly competitive athletic environment, chiropractic care has become a central component for many in achieving their personal best in life and competition.

The role of chiropractic in the athlete's training regimen is to maximize the individual's inherent potential, reduce the risk of injuries and, if injured, decrease recovery time. This is accomplished by focusing on the spinal structure as it relates to the nervous system and optimal function. 

Chiropractic adjustments help reduce joint stresses and minimize neurological interference. These corrective procedures revivify muscular strength, body balance, and coordination that optimize the athlete's potential to attain peak performance. 
 

A group of athletes under chiropractic care were compared with a control group that received none. Agility, balance, power, speed reaction, and hand reaction time improved dramatically.
    After six weeks the chiropractic group had an overall 10.7 percent improvement in athletic ability.
    The control group had a 4.5 percent improvement. 
    After 12 weeks, the chiropractic group's improvement was 16.7 percent!

"The [chiropractic] athlete reacts faster, coordinates better, executes fine movements with improved accuracy and precision, amounting to an overall better athlete."1


Today, many athletes are discovering the relationship between proper spinal mechanics, alignment and their own level of achievement. That's why chiropractic has been used by many champions like Ken Norton, Tim Witherspoon, Ivan Lendl, Evander Holyfield, John McEnroe, Joe Montana, and Michael Jordan.
