Sports Chiropractic Care for Athletes
At The Athlete Spot™ we encourage all of our patients to maintain an active lifestyle. This may include becoming a weekend athlete and participate in pickleball competitions, take on a new sport, or simply move more often throughout the day by going on a hike.
Having an active lifestyle is important for overall health. However, all activity comes with its own inherent risks. Aches, pains, and injuries can result from physical activity. Sports, working out, and being really active also come with their own aches and pains that you want to stay on top of so you can continue to participate with optimal performance.
Athletes who want a competitive edge and want to be at the top of their game every day are working with Dr. Kauffman, and we encourage athletes of all ages to do so too.
What Sports Benefit From Chiropractic Care?
All sports can be hard on the body in different ways. A Sports Chiropractor not only understand the different loads, expectations and skills required in various sports, but also understands the possible unique injuries that may occur dependent on the sport, position and level of play of the athlete. Sports Chiropractors can help athletes avoid unnecessary time off due to injuries, help athletes recover faster from aches and pains, and keep athletes playing strong for a long time.
At What Age Can An Athlete See A Sports Chiropractor?
Athletes of all ages can benefit from seeing a Sports Chiropractor.
Young athletes are not able to recognize potentially serious injuries, leading to unnecessary time off, and in some instances season ending injuries.
High School and Collegiate level athletes push their bodies well past their limit and may overlook small aches and pains that may lead to serious injuries in the spirit of competition, fame and glory. Having regular check-ups with a Sports Chiropractor can help athletes manage these aches and pain and reduce the chances of further injury.
Professional athletes know the benefit of seeking a Sports Chiropractor as they understand that staying ahead, reducing the potential of injury and being able to compete at their most optimal level is paramount for their career.
