Are you an athlete looking to reach your full potential? Are injuries and pain stopping you from performing at your best?
Sports chiropractic care at North Adelaide may be a solution for you. Let’s start at looking at how and why chiropractic care can improve your performance.
It should be no surprise that flexibility can be a major part of performing well in sports. A loss of flexibility can impact both your strength and your range of movements. Having poorer range of movements can lead to injury as the joint or muscle has less range to work with – hence the joint or muscle becomes easier to strain or tear.
At North Adelaide Chiropractic, we help athletes increase their range of movement and flexibility by providing specific adjustments into the joints to free up any stiffness or tension in the joint. Dr Joshua Chin also provides soft tissue therapy (whether it be trigger point therapy, GRASTON or dry needling) to address any tight or hypertonic muscles.
Many studies have shown the benefits of chiropractic care for athletes. Two examples can be seen below, regarding preventing injuries and increasing strength:
A 2010 study showed that Australian footballers who underwent chiropractic care consistently throughout the season were significantly less likely to incur lower back or lower limb injuries. Subsequently, this meant they missed less play weeks.
A 2012 study by the National University of Health Sciences demonstrated that there was a 15% increase in grip strength for judo athletes who were treated by chiropractic versus those who were not treated by chiropractic.
Professional athletes often use chiropractic to stay at their best. If you are looking to improve even further, let North Adelaide Chiropractic help you.
