Chiropractic for Winter Athletes
Chiropractic care can benefit all ages and body types, but for those that take part in winter sports like skiing and snowboarding, it may benefit the most during cold winter months. Even the most skilled athlete can slip on the slopes, which can lead to injury. Without proper treatment, minor injuries can worsen, which is where the chiropractors at Shields Chiropractic come in. Falls that lead to herniated discs, whiplash, or other spinal injuries are much more common than you’d think. Having chiropractic care as part of your treatment plan can help save you pain and time spent recovering.
IMMEDIATE TREATMENT
A tumble on the slopes can cause extensive injuries. When it comes to injuries like concussions or broken bones, be sure to seek medical treatment immediately. Immediate medical care is key to recovering as quickly as possible. Even if your injury doesn’t seem severe, immediate chiropractic treatment is ideal especially for injuries like whiplash or a misalignment. The sooner you see us at Shields Chiropractic where we can perform treatment such as an alignment, massage therapy, or rehabilitative therapy, the better!
LONG TERM BENEFITS
For athletes that have spent years going down the slopes, the disruption the sport causes on the neck and back is no stranger. Falls are quite common in winter sports and the regular strain put on the body when exercising all day takes a toll. Regular chiropractic care will help your body recover quickly and perform optimally, so you can make the most of your time spent outdoors. Spinal adjustments help improve performance, prevent injuries, and more. As an athlete, no matter what level of performance you’re at, you care for your body and it is important that you take great care of it. With chiropractic care, you get a natural, holistic, and non-invasive approach that can benefit your overall health.
