Sports Injury and Prevention with Chiropractic
Both professional and recreational athletes understand the limitations that injuries can place on training and sports performance.
Research has shown that sports chiropractors can help the body heal as efficiently as possible, allowing athletes to recover more quickly from injuries when they arise.
There is also data to suggest that injuries may be prevented in athletes under regular chiropractic care versus athletes who do not receive care with a sports chiropractor.
Sports Chiropractor: Better Training
A reduction of injuries and injury duration, combined with increased performance outcomes, such as improved range of motion or increased muscle recruitment allows for more effective training when under the care of your sports chiropractor. The ability to train more effectively with less chance of injury is a huge advantage to the competitive athlete, which is one of the reasons why athletes at all levels continue to choose top sports chiropractors like Dr. Chase Horton as a key component of their health and fitness routine.

Featured Treatment
Chiropractic Treatment for Lower Cross Syndrome
Athletic injuries can have many causes but one of the most common that chiropractors see is Lower Cross Syndrome. This is a muscular imbalance that prevents the gluteus muscles from firing, causing weakness and compensation patterns while squatting, deadlifting, and performing on the field. At first, this is a recipe for lower back pain, eventually moving downstream to the knees causing injury.
