Perform Better with Chiropractic Care!

Chiropractic Care Can Help Athletes to Function at Their Highest Capacity

Sports have become a huge part of our society and advances in training have

allowed athletes at all levels, to become stronger, faster, and quicker than in

years past. But did you know that chiropractic can help enhance your athletic

skills as well? Due to the strenuous activities of an athlete’s preparation, joints

tend to take a physical beating day in and day out. Over time, these joints will

possibly begin to wear down as well as develop fixations. When this begins to

occur, our muscles, ligaments, and cartilage begin to take on more of the stress

creating muscular imbalances and inflammatory states. Also, improper training

can also cause significant stress to the body. So how could chiropractic help? A

chiropractic adjustment helps to release these joint fixations allowing the joint to

move more freely. When the joints move freely, there is usually less incidence of

inhibited (underactive) or tightened muscles. This allows the athlete to function

at their highest capacity.

Make Sure You Do Not Put Too Much Stress on One Specific Thing Done Repetitively

When addressing training variables, be sure that too much of one specific thing

is not done repetitively. This can include overworking one specific muscle group

while weight training or working on sprint speed without introducing lateral

movement training as well. Training results tend to improve when variety is part

of the plan. Perform training cycles in which you use short time frames to work

on specific training goals before switching it up to something else. If you are

interested in improving your game or training, talk to Dr. Kmett about designing a

training program individualized to your needs!
