Chiropractic and Massage and Sports Injuries

The recent drive towards a healthier lifestyle has become a national craze. From high performance bottled water, to protein and vitamin supplementation, Americans spend millions in the hopes of improving their overall health and wellbeing.

In fact, participation in sports has sky rocketed over the past few decades with more than 50% of the adult American population exercising daily. Participation in sports can involve, among other things, a combination of body contact, fast starts and stops, positions that place unusual amounts of strain on the back and structural system as well as demonstrating need for proper training and recovery.

By understanding the biomechanics that produce injuries, the sports oriented doctor has a unique insight into the dynamics involved with each injury. With proper guidance and therapy, an athlete who suffers what may look like a terrible injury, can be back on the playing field in as little as half an hour.

Here at P³ our chiropractic and soft tissue approach to health closely relates to the needs of the athlete. Chiropractic and massage are natural health care methods that stress the importance of keeping all the systems of the body functioning efficiently and in harmony so that the athlete can benefit from peak performance, minimized risk to injury, and potentially enjoy a faster recovery rate.

Many world class and Olympic athletes, as well as professional stars and teams, have retained sports chiropractors and massage therapists to provide care. Joe Montana, Nolan Ryan, Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jubbar, Carl Lewis, and Royce Gracie, to name a few, all utilize chiropractic care. The Players Association of the NFL has officially incorporated sports chiropractors as a regular part of care. Chiropractors have even been selected as attending doctors at the Olympic Games and at national and world championships in track and field, cycling, volleyball, powerlifting, aerobics, and triathlons.

So if you are involved in sports and suffer a sports related injury and you want to return to the field sooner and potentially better than before, give us a call 360-895-4844 and let's begin improving your power, performance and potential.
