Why chiropractic care?

In addition to helping reduce back and neck pain, research shows chiropractic is beneficial in reducing headaches and digestive issues, while also improving immune function.

Faster injury recovery
Studies have linked chiropractic care with faster healing.

Injury prevention

If the musculoskeletal (bones and tissue) system is out of alignment, due to overtraining for instance, it can create tension in one area of the body. If this tension is able to persist, a sprain, strain, or other similar injury can result.

Improved strength

Athletes under chiropractic care have improved strength. A study involving elite taekwondo athletes received one session of care and the resulted in increased muscle strength when compared to a control group.

Increased flexibility
“All athletes can benefit from performance flexibility” according to the United States Sports Academy. Greater flexibility offers greater injury protection and improved sports performance.
