If you are someone who considers themselves an athlete, someone who loves to exercise and keep fit regularly, chiropractic care is essential. People who train themselves with exercise regularly and are also under chiropractic care usually report fast and efficient progress in healing. Some of the fastest results in my practice is with my athletic patients. This is possibly because athletes are typically very tuned in to their bodies, with higher awareness of what they need to get better, stronger, and healthier. When athletes receive their first adjustment, their body responds very fast and the adjustment ‘holds’ better. 

If the nervous system and spine has tension, misalignments, and poor nerve flow, then the brain cannot properly control the muscles and joints for training athletes. Special nerve receptors in the joints, muscles, and spine respond to pressure, distortion, and position sense. Many of these receptors are directly related to the balance (vestibular) system of the body. Both of these parts of the nervous system work together acutely and are essential for optimal function and performance for an athlete. 

Chiropractic adjustments affect these receptors and enhance their function by allowing the brain to connect fully with them. Specific Adjustments will trigger and stimulate these receptors which will allow better coordination, faster reflexes, better balance, improved strength and posture, and overall increased performance.

If you love to be an athlete, and love to feel the power of your body, come in and start getting your regular chiropractic adjustments!
