Chiropractic Care for Teen Athletes
With the winter sports season approaching for high schools it’s time to start taking measures so that your teen athlete can stay healthy and injury free. Young athletes must understand that if they want to play their respective sports on a competitive level for an extended period of time, they need to dedicate regular sessions to preventative care.
90% of professional and Olympics athletes rely on a chiropractor for preventative care and as a way to improve their athletic performance. Every team in the NFL has a chiropractor on staff, who performs about 50 adjustments a week. Spinal adjustments are very important for maintaining flexibility, range of motion in joints, and keeping the body in the best shape to handle the pressures of training. Adequate range of motion allows athletes to perform better and go farther without risk of injury. Spinal adjustments are the best way to keep the joints and muscles loose, and loose flexible muscles are less likely to sustain injuries.
