People who are professional or amateur athletes put their bodies through a lot on a regular basis. It is smart and preventive for athletes to have an ongoing relationship with their chiropractor. Regular chiropractic care can help athletes manage pain, maintain strength and mobility and help prevent injuries. The advanced training of your Seattle chiropractor will help you play the game you love for many more years.

For injury prevention, core muscle strength is essential. A strong core acts as protection for a spine that is being subjected to impact and overuse. Many athletes to do not appreciate the importance of core strength and their time in the gym is usually more focused on other body parts. Your chiropractor will provide some instruction on how to target strength building in the core.

Reducing inflammation has the effect of reducing pain and may prevent additional injury. Massage, inversion and ultrasound therapies can all be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Massage therapy relaxes the muscles which is helpful since tense muscles exacerbate the condition. Inversion tables are used to reduce pressure and tension around the spine. Regular ultrasound therapy sessions can improve mobility.

An advantage of reducing pain naturally with non-invasive care is that the patient is less likely to turn to addictive pain medication for relief. Pain medications mask the pain making the athlete more susceptible to injury. Natural methods of pain relief go to the cause of the pain, which has a healing effect on the injury.

As people age, their bodies to not have the same resilience as they once did. This does not mean athletes should quit playing sports. It just means they need to play smarter and with greater care.

Staying fit is a day-to-day process. Weekend warriors are more likely to get injured. Keep your body strong and flexible with regular core strengthening exercise, good nutrition and regular visits to your chiropractor. You will be able to play the game as long as you like.
