Chiropractic care is an effective method to not only treat injuries but to manage pain and for injury prevention. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of chiropractic for football players.
CHIROPRACTIC FOR PAIN RELIEF
First and foremost comes pain relief. Many of our patients first come to us for pain relief, and just as it benefits our patients, chiropractic can relieve pain for football players. Chiropractic has long been recognized as an effective tool for pain management and has been shown to relieve body pain and headaches, particularly those stemming from neck and head injuries. It also provides relief for shoulder pain and pain from knee and ankle injuries such as sprains.
CHIROPRACTIC FOR IMPROVED MOBILITY
Chiropractic adjustments are one of the primary chiropractic therapies in sports medicine. These manipulations help minimize or eliminate pain in movement and increase flexibility. These adjustments can also help prevent injury and have been shown to improve athletic performance.
INJURY PREVENTION
Athletes who regularly receive chiropractic care have been found to have a decline in sports-related injuries. Those who are adjusted regularly experience better mobility and flexibility which has been linked to injury prevention. Chiropractic care also increases strength and body function making the entire body stronger and more resistant to injury.
TOTAL BODY MAINTENANCE
The rough nature of football leads to frequent injuries, though stiffness and soreness are even more common. Many players use chiropractic adjustments to ease general pain that comes from playing hard and overexertion. They may not be injured, but their body is still experiencing the pain that comes with the territory of being an athlete. Chiropractic care keeps the body functioning at its best to achieve optimal athletic performance.
