While professional sports teams all have chiropractors on staff, you don’t need to be a pro to experience the many benefits of sports chiropractic. At Novo Chiropractic Sports & Wellness Center, we are passionate about helping athletes of all ages and levels to function optimally without pain. Here are some top benefits of sports chiropractic:
#1. Improves range of motion and performance
While training or competing, many athletes experience joint stiffness, wear and tear and decreased range of motion, both of which can negatively impact performance and training. Through a chiropractic adjustment, the motion within the joint space can improve, which can improve joint function as well as performance. Sports chiropractors provide customized mobility training to improve joint health and performance.
#2. Improves recovery and helps prevent injury
Our chiropractors can evaluate each athlete comprehensively. The assessment includes a thorough musculoskeletal, neurological and orthopedic examination. The benefit of seeing a sports chiropractor is they have specialized training to address an athlete’s injury so they can return to their sport. Athletes that receive chiropractic care for their sports injuries usually report shorter recovery times and a reduced recurrence of chronic injuries.
#3. Reduces reliance on prescription or OTC medication
It’s no surprise that during athletic competition and training, athletes are at a heightened risk for various types of injuries. Often these injuries can lead to considerable pain, which may result in the use of pain medications.
