4 Reasons Athletes get Adjusted…and why you should too!
1.Heightened Body Awareness
Because athletes are so active and participate in high impact sports, they tend to be more prone to injury. Adjustments restore function to the body and nervous system. Alternatively many people are susceptible to injury do to repetitive strain, everyday stress and at times poor nutrition.
2. Improved Movement
In a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, individuals who received chiropractic care noted a nearly 10% improvement in movement and response time compared to those not under chiropractic care. Athlete’s need the competitive edge but improved response time can help in everyday life!
3. Better Balance
Chiropractic care restores balance to your entire body through correcting nervous system disturbances and allowing signals to flow freely between brain and body.
4. Increased Flexibility
When the joints and spinal bones are in proper alignment you’re able to maneuver with ease. For athletes, flexibility is critical!
