WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With school back in full swing, many people are getting back into their fitness routines and sports activities. Football, fall softball, basketball as well as other types of organized sports provide great team experience as well as providing a way to get exercise. Dr. James Hogan of Active Body Chiro- Care advises those hoping to increase their fitness to consider how chiropractic care can increase exercise and sports performance. Dr. Hogan believes strongly in the connection between proper alignment and physical stamina and performance. Chiropractic care has long been held as a means for treating sports and exercise related injuries, but new research indicates that chiropractic care can also help prevent injuries and improve performance. Active Body Chiro-Care claims, "Our services promote improved overall wellness and health — an excellent addition to any exercise program."
You don't have to be a professional athlete to be able to appreciate performance enhancing therapy. In fact, many individuals who are not even involved in organized sports are looking for ways to make their exercise experiences more productive and effective.
One of the main reasons that chiropractic care is so beneficial for exercise purposes is because it helps to reduce pain. Many people find that resulting pain from exercise or sports activities discourage their fitness goals. A few days of sore muscles and joints is often enough to derail most fitness programs or sports participation.
Active Body Chiro-Care specializes in customizing treatment plans for each individual patient and can address the special needs of those involved in sports and exercise programs.
Chiropractic care has also been proven to have a huge impact on a person's range of motion. For athletes and casual exercise-doers alike, limited range of motion can often stop fitness progress. This is especially true for older adults who have chronic joint stiffness. In fact many individuals cannot increase range of motion on their own, but must have professional intervention in order to move into a new range of motion which will allow them to move on to further physical accomplishments.
In addition, regular chiropractic care can increase bone strength in people of all ages. Dr. Hogan encourages individuals with bone strength issues to address these issues through consistent and specialized treatment rather than allow it to interfere with their exercise routine or overall wellness.
In the event that an exercise program or sports activity does result in an injury, having an established relationship with a local chiropractor will ensure that the injury can be treated as quickly as possible with the least amount of damage.
Sports injury and general chiropractic care is offered at Active Body Chiro-Care with four convenient locations in Los Angeles, including West Hollywood, Century City, Santa Monica and South Bay. Active Body Chiro-Care centers are located within the Equinox gyms to facilitate and encourage a seamless combination of fitness and chiropractic care.
