How and why does chiropractic care work for athletes?

Chiropractic adjustments break apart old adhesions within the joint capsules and correctly align the joints which permits correct movement.
Improves the communication of the nervous system to the brain, spine and all other parts of the body. A misaligned spine can cause inflammation and pinching of nerves, which will cause pain and muscle tension. This can also decrease the correct communication and function of the messages from the brain to the extremities, thus affecting one’s performance.

One of the most common reasons athletes seek chiropractic care, is to promote correct and rapid healing after injuries.
Correct alignment of the spine contributes to correct muscle function and equal muscle tone on both sides of the body. Muscle imbalance on one side of the body can overload the other side and decrease performance, increasing the probability of deformation or injury.

Studies show that chiropractic helps the athletes.
