GILBERT, Ariz., May 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athletes commonly turn to chiropractic to help with injuries and learn how to prevent future injuries, reports Islands Chiropractic & Massage. Professional baseball and football teams use chiropractors to heal injuries correctly, maintain current performance levels and potentially improve career longevity with a reduction in future injury. Patients and athletes benefit from spinal manipulations, specialized techniques and state-of-the-art technology to address conditions and injuries at their source and promote the healing process from within. They are less likely to turn to pain medications as they learn to manage pain naturally.
Sports training and chiropractic care is part of a regular routine to maintain performance. The Professional Football Chiropractic Society announced that 32 professional teams in the NFL provide players and staff with chiropractic physicians, and the Professional Baseball Chiropractic Society treats 28 MLB teams. Chiropractic care is used in professional sports as an effective aspect to manage and prevent injury. NFL champion Emmitt Smith and other professional athletes recognize how chiropractic care attributes to their success and career longevity.
The stress of strong impact and spinal misalignment often leads to injury. Chiropractors assess athletic bodies, identify musculoskeletal issues, reduce improper movement patterns, and use spinal manipulations and specific exercises to strengthen weakened areas. Regular chiropractic care is known to improve flexibility and expand an athlete’s range of motion. Chiropractic is used to treat low-back pain, musculoskeletal problems, decrease injury severity, reduce discomfort and potentially improve recovery times. Spinal misalignments, torn ligaments, strained muscles and more can be effectively treated with non-invasive chiropractic care.
“Chiropractic care has been demonstrated as effective for many professional athletes,” said Dr. Daniel Carlow. “As an experienced Gilbert chiropractor, I use gentle and proven specialized techniques and manipulations to address sports injuries at their source. I treat neck and back pain, strains, pulls, ligament tears and weakness from prior injuries to maintain the optimal health of athletes and improve career longevity. Chiropractic often helps those with injuries recover faster and get them back in the game sooner. Our staff is experienced in working with sports trainers to address concerns in star athletes and communicate with team members and managers. We want to make sports injury care as simple and stress-free as possible and enable athletes to have an optimal recovery.”
