Why Teen Athletes Get Adjusted.

Why do teenage athletes get adjusted and enjoy chiropractic care so much? The same reasons professional athletes like Emmett Smith of the Dallas Cowboys, John Smoltz of the Atlanta Braves, and Olympc Gold Medallist and World's Greatest Athlete Dan O'Brien enjoy regular chiropractic care.

Chiropractic helps athletes improve their athletic performance, heal quicker from injuries, icrease flexibility, and much more.

1. Improving athletic performance

If you had a racecar would you make sure your front end was properly aligned before a big race? Of courseyou would because you know that when your car is aligned properly it will run faster, more efficiently, and with less strain on the cars structure. This is how chiropractic care relates to your bod and athletics. And there's more.

To perform at your peak, your body must receive signals from your brain, and your brain gets messages back from your body.

Have you ever ben on a cell phone when there was static on the lines? Interference over your nerve pathways has the same effect. It reduces the communication between your brain and your body and affects your abilit to perform at your best.

Chiropractic care removes this interference and keeps it out of your life through specific spinal adjustments.

2. Heal quicker from injuries

People heal quicker from injuries, sickness, and everything else if they have a good nerveupply from their brain to their body and back again. This is what chiropractic does!

There are countless personal experiences from people who have limped into chiropractic offices with a sports or athletic injury, and leaped out to participate in their activities the next day. While not every person who goes into a chiropractic office has this kind of experience because it dependsn the extent of the injury, many people certainly do. Why do you think chiropractic has been one of the fastest growing health professions over the last decade? Chiropractic works!

3. Improves flexibility and stamina

One particular study tested two groups of athletes in training. The first group trained without receiving chiropractic care. The second group trained and reeived ongoing chiropractic care as well.

As you would expect, both groups improved. After 12 weeks, however, there was a substantial difference in their results.

The group that was not under chiropractic care showed a 4.5% improvement while the chiropractic group showed a 16.7% improvement after 12 weeks.

Travis Jones, a high school soccer player said, "chiropractic keeps me more flexible and agile. It definitely improves mysoccer game!"

His sister, Taylor Jones whose team won their league championship last year said, "chiropractic makes a big difference. I wish my whole team was under chiropractic care."

Rebecca Allen, a high school cheerleader, says, "I would not be able to cheer if it wasn't for chiropractic. It has made such an impact on my cheerleading that I'm considering chiropratic as a career!"

If you're involved in sports, don't you think its time you were examined by a chiropractor to see if chiropractic could make a difference for you?
