How sports chiropractic can heal your injury?

A lot of athletes think that sports chiropractic is merely about bone cracking.  This is an obvious oversimplification of chiropractic care. Your body needs to be aligned to work properly. Spine manipulation is the foundation of chiropractic care. Chiropractors realign the vertebrae (the bones of the spinal column).

Chiropractic care is a non-surgical treatment that focuses on drug-free pain relief. It is a branch of medicine that utilizes treatment and techniques proven to heal the root cause of the pain. Once it finds the root cause, your body will heal naturally. Chiropractors will also evaluate your condition before they can offer any adjustment. 

Are you suffering from an athletic or sports injury?

If your answer is yes, then read this entire blog. 

We’ve been helping athletes and people alike who are suffering from training injuries. Whether you’re a veteran athlete who competes at a professional level or an outdoor person who loves different sports on weekend, the urge to be better at what you do is inherent. Your body should be able to withstand the difficulties of your chosen sporting activity. The journey for peak athletic performance, at any stage, requires you to have a healthy body.

Is it possible to be injury-free?

Not unlikely. If you have an existing injury, you have to at least heal or manage it first. If you are starting out with your sports, you have to learn the possible injuries you’ll get along the way.

Chiropractors have valuable pieces of advice and stretching techniques you can use to avoid or manage injuries. If want to improve or keep your current sports performance and want the assistance of an expert, Clear Connections Chiropractic is here to help you.

Why athletes need chiropractic care?

If you are running for a marathon your knees need to be perfectly balanced. If you are swimming for hours at a time, your shoulder needs the perfect coordination of muscle groups. Experiencing pain throughout your training is not normal, this is why sports chiropractic is recommended because it locates the root cause of the problem.

The challenge with passionate athletes is they don’t free their schedule to take time off. It’s good to be dedicated and enthusiastic about your sports, however, if you will compromise your health by not investing time and effort to see a chiropractor you’ll eventually experience more body pain down the line.

We work with athletes and find the best time that works with their schedule. If you are hesitant to try it because you’ll lose your training momentum, don’t worry we’ve got you covered. Just keep in mind, proceeding to train under unsafe method will prolong the healing time or cause more harm to your body. It’s better to prevent the root cause than have a lengthy treatment.

Visiting a chiropractor is about focusing on your recovery and health goals. The faster you heal, the better your body becomes. Chiropractic doesn’t use medicines or surgery. Most athletes who get adjusted experience pain-free training and prevent future injuries.

Chiropractic care will help you boost your performance, too.

Proper stretching and regular alignments may prevent injuries before they even happen. Chiropractic car can boost your overall performance because it prepares your body for high-intensity activities. The key here is making sure your spine is at its peak shape. 

In simpler terms, chiropractic care is a drugless, surgery-free approach to achieving your health goals. Your body should heal itself. What chiropractors do every adjustment is they align your spine in order to improve your central nervous system. The nervous system is your body’s master control center, it manages and organizes all of the systems in the body. When your nervous system is strong and healthy, your body follows suit.

Optimizing your nervous and muscular system through sports chiropractic care.

Sports chiropractic deals with the neuromusculoskeletal system. If you are complaining about join paints or shoulder pain, we will find the cause of the pain and offer solutions to rehabilitate, optimize, and alleviate the pain or injury. 

Chiropractic care is becoming popular these days. More chiropractors are specializing in different healing methods and techniques. Sports chiropractic focuses on healing your nervous and muscular system. In the 1980s, the first chiropractor was added to the US Olympic medical team. From that day,  athletes from every walk of life learned the positive long-term benefits of chiropractic care. Many sporting events employed chiropractors for spinal adjustments because it improved the performance of the athletes and helped prevent future injuries.

Testimonial from Marcus Doornbos:

Having been involved with athletics since I was 6 years old, and with 20+ years in professional sports entertainment, taking care of my body is paramount.  I have been fortunate to see a few good chiropractors over the years, but both Dr. Sean and Dr. Krystal really go above and beyond in their care plans. The welcoming vibe in the office and passion of Dr. Sean and Dr. Krystal really set them apart. 

From the first visit, everything about your personalized care plan is explained and described.  They make your input a major part of your care. In less than a month since starting my treatment path, I have noticed more restful sleep, less headaches (which after several concussions is a Godsend), more flexibility, increase in energy, and my gym routines seem to be getting more results.  It’s very easy to write off one or two improvements in your daily life, but when I am seeing drastic improvements in several aspects of my mental and physical well-being with the only change being starting a care plan through Clear Connection it is hard to discount.

I would and HAVE recommended Clear Connections to others, great atmosphere, caring and skillful Doctors, just has been a great experience thus far!
