Whether you’re an amateur sports enthusiast, or a professional athlete, at some point in time injury may occur, possibly as a result of a poor warm-up, ineffective stretching techniques, incorrect posture, or undetected spine or joint problems that show up during strenuous activity. Permanent injury can be minimized or prevented altogether with the help of a sports chiropractor who understands how the body responds to various treatments. They will treat the cause of the pain, not just just the symptom.
Don’t ignore the pain caused by an injury. It is your body crying for help! If an athlete fails to seek chiropractic treatment as soon as possible following an injury and continues to keep on using the injured area regardless of the pain, the body’s natural healing process will be short-circuited. This could result in a permanent injury, preventing the athlete from achieving his or her highest performance level. Some athletes try to mask the symptoms and the pain with drugs, but neglecting an injury will only be compounded over time.

When engaging in an athletic sport, whether amateur or professional, participants need every little bit of strength, speed, and flexibility they can muster in order to have the winning edge! That’s why, when injuries happen, sports chiropractic care is so important! Rather than turning to more invasive options or drugs for pain relief, many turns to a sports chiropractor. Prescription drugs dull reaction times and carry the risk of addiction, while surgery might leave an athlete sitting on the bench for months.
The common injuries suffered in many sports can knock the spine out of alignment, causing stress on pain-sensitive joints, muscles, nerves, discs, and ligaments. A trained sports chiropractor can relieve pain without drugs or surgery—keeping the body balanced, flexible, and at its best performance level.

In addition to the common cold and flu, the coronavirus pandemic has brought new worries. A healthy immune system is vital in protecting us from infectious organisms. The proteins, tissues, organs, and cells (white blood cells) that make up our immune system should be working together to keep us healthy. However, one of the main causes of immune system problems comes from subluxations (blocked nerve pathways).
Chiropractic treatment is for more than neck or back pain! It will benefit you in ways you might not even have considered before, such as:

Parents see their children experience many falls and spills during their growing-up years, seemingly insignificant at the time. These minor injuries turn into significant health issues with damaging effects as the years go by is a great probability. This is why parents should understand the importance of child chiropractic care.
With so much information available today, young parents have a greater understanding than previous generations about the development of their children. They do not have to live with the same physical difficulties as their parents or grandparents. There is a greater understanding of how the nervous system works--the master control system of growth, repair, and function of every tissue and organ in the body. This nervous system interprets the messages coming from the environment and decides which messages to send to the body so that it adjusts itself appropriately.
