Chiropractic Care

Being an athlete requires dedication, passion, and hard work. Whether you are an amateur or professional, athletes must keep their body functioning in peak condition. Athletes need to take proper care of their bodies and focus on prevention. This is crucial for avoiding injuries and setbacks. When you visit our office in Grand Junction, you are taking the steps towards improving your health and well-being. Indeed, Drs. Cullen and Mark can help you improve your sport performance, monitor your overall health and well-being, and avoid sitting on the sidelines.
Sports Injuries & Risks
While different sports come with different injuries, injuries are unfortunately common among all athletes. Your injury may occur from a traumatic incident, collision, or fall during a game. Regardless of the cause, these injuries and discomforts add up and prevent you from doing what you love most. From a health perspective, these injuries create vulnerabilities that may cause other spinal misalignments. As an athlete, it’s essential to prevent this from happening. Basic preventative measures typically include stretching, staying hydrated, and wearing the appropriate gear. You can go a step further by regularly going to chiropractic care sessions. Indeed, when your nervous system works properly or better, your athletic performance improves.
Professionals Rely on Chiropractic Care
Professional athletes regularly use routine chiropractic adjustments to address and prevent injuries. Chiropractic adjustments help improve balance, flexibility, proprioception, and strength. Additionally, it makes it easier to move. Athletes put more stress on their body than the average person, so they must take extra care of their bodies. With regular visits, athletes can address excess body stress and remove it before it becomes an issue. Indeed, these spinal adjustments help reduce nerve root irritation between the vertebrae, which prevents minor injuries, increases healing, and improves their overall health and well-being. Chiropractic care can treat sports-related injuries and conditions, including back pain, knee pain, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, arm pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, leg cramps, and much more.
