Sports Chiropractic
West Palm Beach Chiropractor can help athletes manage and prevent sports injuries as well as enhance their physical performance. Athletes frequently utilize sports chiropractic care because they demand the most from their bodies. Being competitive in your sport requires that you be in peak physical condition. One of the best ways to improve performance is to make sure your nervous system is working at maximum efficiency; relaying signals from your brain to body and back again as fast as possible. Regular spinal check-ups and chiropractic adjustments can reduce nerve irritation allowing your brain to have optimal control over your body. Our South Florida Sports Chiropractors are well-trained in diagnosing and treating the soft-tissue sports injuries that commonly arise from athletic competition. Nothing is better than prompt treatment to get you back in the game as soon as possible. Many professional athletes have been very vocal about the importance of regular chiropractic care in their training routine. Here's what a few of the best had to say about sports chiropractic:
Emmitt Smith
"Do I need to get more rest? Do I need to eat better? Do I need a little more training? How can I take care of my body better? Do I need to find a chiropractor? It was time for me to invest in me," Smith said. "I found a specialist that's really good in balancing out my body to make sure my hips are rotated right, and my body is functioning properly. I remember somebody telling me that what I put myself in during the games is like having a car wreck every Sunday. It's against the norm. You can find yourself in awkward positions. That stuff takes its toll. But if you take advantage of the health care, balance your body back out, put it back where it's supposed to be, you function better, and you recover faster."
Jerry Rice
“I believe in chiropractic, and I know it works. You probably know about my long and successful career in football. I’m flattered by the testimonials to my durability. Football is a very rough and vigorous sport. Chiropractic was the key to keeping me in the game.”
Barry Bonds
"I go to my chiropractor on a regular basis, because I want to prolong my career as long as possible," he states. "I see him about once a week, in between my training (sessions). By getting an adjustment once a week from him, I feel I can sustain my career a lot longer. Your body is being treated like it is supposed to be with chiropractic care."
Arnold Schwarzenegger
"I am very fortunate to have, so to speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries, he's always there for me and helps me. That's why I always will be traveling...all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers.(Back in the 1970s) Franco would go very intensely to chiropractic college every day. He worked on me all the time. During the course of his education he got incredibly good with both the theoretical and the practical (aspects of adjusting) ... every time I had an injury, I could call Franco ... I would get an adjustment, three or four, and the problem would be gone. So you know, when you see that happening in your own body, that with chiropractic you will be 100 percent, it's just fantastic."
Dan O'Brien
"If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal.""You obviously can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. And your body can't heal if your back is not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic and that is what track and field is about. Every track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. In track and field, it is absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one has denied or refuted."
Tom Brady
"Chiropractic just makes you feel so much better. When I walk out of the clinic, I feel like I'm about three inches taller and everything is in place. As long as I see the chiropractor, I feel like I’m one step ahead of the game.”
Lance Armstrong, Wayne Gretzky, Tiger Woods, Joe Montana, Lebron James, Evander Holyfield, Andy Roddick, Terrell Owens, Maurice Jones-Drew and Reggie Bush are just a few of the elite athletes that credit chiropractic care for helping them stay healthy and at the top of their sport. Of course, you don't have to be a professional athlete to benefit from the same quality chiropractic care the pros get. Our west palm beach sports chiropractor prides himself in treating all our patients like MVPs.
