Chiropractors: The real MVP

The fall sports season is here. Whether you actively participate or watch from the sidelines, it can cause risk to your body. With injuries ranging from aches and cramps to back pain or concussion, this can be serious. Fortunately, chiropractic care is an excellent treatment for players and spectators alike. When it comes to relieving the pain from common sports injuries, chiropractors are the real MVPs. Here’s what you need to know:

Improve joint health:
Even if you train rigorously, you still may suffer a huge blow during a game. Any serious impact can disrupt spinal alignment and restrict movement, which leads to pain and tension in the joints. With chiropractic care, your body heals faster and helps minimize future injuries.

Increase mobility:
Like many of us, your hip’s flexion/extension may not be top of mind. But hips are important for both running and/or sitting. The hip rotation is key for athletic movements like turning, twisting, crouching, and pivoting. It’s also essential when cheering, jumping or sitting for long periods of time. With regular chiropractic care, your body can either play or celebrate with increased mobility and full range of motion.

Evaluate and treat concessions:
In addition to treating head and neck injuries, chiropractors can identify the signs of a concussion. Chiropractors also provide post-concussion syndrome treatment, including migraine headaches treatment and other remedies.

Stay lubricated:
Whether you’re an athlete or a fan, you should drink plenty of water, especially during warmer climates. Proper hydration improves movement, which keeps the joints loose. Also, regular chiropractic care can help joints maintain lubrication. 

Manage pain with adjustments:
Chiropractic adjustments can benefit everyone. For athletes, the adjustment improves your performance to optimal levels. For fans, adjustments help ease the effects from long periods of standing and immobility on hard seats.
