How Can Chiropractic Help Simpsonville SC Athletes?

Simpsonville SC kids and young athletes routinely and continually put their bodies through an extremely high level of physical stress during sports seasons of baseball, soccer, basketball, football, martial arts, gymnastics, etc. These stressors are different than what we experience from school or work.

Sports participation often involves quick starts and stops, explosive jumping or running collisions, and body postures that put added demands on the body's physical structure.

Whether you are a soccer player, baseball player, football player, wrestler, golfer, gymnast or runner, chiropractic helps conditioning your body to be able to adapt to these added stresses and improve your performance.

If not monitored and addressed, these physical stressors can cause the bones in our back to misalign. When neglected, the effects of these changes can result in loss of motion, flexibility, and speed while increasing the chances of injury and pain.

Typically, people will treat pain with prescribed or an over-the-counter painkiller to mask the symptoms of what is causing pain and get short-term relief. Chiropractic care addresses the cause, rather than the symptoms.

Many sports-related injuries begin due to nerve interference caused by misalignments in our joints, primarily in the spine. Our expert chiropractor at Carolina Life Chiropractic in Simpsonville SC is specially trained to find and remove interference by correcting specific misalignments.

When this nerve interference is removed, the body experiences an increase in blood flow, enhanced nerve flow increasing proper mobility, muscle function, immune system function, and overall better health.

As a result, athletes receiving care at our clinic will notice increased flexibility, speed, agility, and power during sports participation.

A recent study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Investigation showed that as much as 32% of athletes receiving chiropractic care experienced these results and an even higher percentage showed a decrease in sports injury.
