Did you know that nearly 30 million youngsters participate in youth sports? On fields, courts,and rinks around the country, that's a lot of kids! Participating in young sports has a lot of benefits, but those players also run the danger of getting wounded every time they play or practice. Chiropractic therapy, fortunately, is an excellent technique to improve athletic performance and decrease injury.
Chiropractic care is a gentle and safe technique to assist your young athletes to avoid injury and possibly improving their sports performance.
Reaction time:
Research
published in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical
Investigation found that athletes who underwent 12 weeks of chiropractic
care improved their reaction speed by 30% compared to those who did
not.
Strength:
Another study discovered a
link between chiropractic therapy and increased strength. This is
significant because increased strength translates to improved
performance and reduced injury risk. The electrical activity in
patients' arms and legs was examined in that study, which indicated a
significant increase in a cortical drive (and muscle contraction) after
the correction. Researchers found an 8% increase in plantar flexor
muscle strength in elite taekwondo players after a single session of
chiropractic care in another investigation on the association between
strength and chiropractic.
Oxygenation:
Finally,
according to a study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation
Research, baseball players who had chiropractic therapy had higher
capillary counts. A larger capillary count leads to oxygen-rich blood
flow, which is necessary for excellent muscle function, performance, and
repair.
If your child participates in young sports, there are various things you can do to assist them to improve their skills and avoid injury:
- Regular chiropractic care is essential.
- Before practice and games, warm-up.
- After practice and games, stretch and cool down.
- Get a lot of rest.
- Stay hydrated during and after your game.
You undoubtedly already put a lot of effort into ensuring that your children are safe while participating in sports that they like. You spend money on mouth guards, helmets, pads, and other protective equipment, as well as courses and coaching, and you even invest time studying and teaching regulations to avoid injuries. Why not consider regular chiropractic adjustments as a gentle, effective method to improve your child's athletic performance and reduce their chance of injury?
Athletes and non-athletes alike benefit from chiropractic care in the following ways:
Reverse the damage done to the body by sports:
Strength,
flexibility, speed, and coordination are all factors that influence
athletic performance. Sports participation is promoted due to the
numerous advantages. When a person plays, they not only gain exercise,
but they also improve fine motor skills, learn about collaboration and
fair play, and, of course, make new friends. But their bodies are also
taking impact no matter what sport they are playing.
When the spine's mobility and/or alignment are faulty, the ensuing vertebral subluxations can cause specific areas of irritation in the nervous system, interfering with the other systems' optimal operations. As a result, athletic performance declines as a result of this. When athletes are adjusted regularly, they frequently credit their success to chiropractic therapy.
Chiropractic therapy can help with a range of sports injuries, including:
Athletes
can benefit from chiropractic treatment in a variety of ways.
Wrestling, football, and hockey all have high-impact sports, and
adjustments can help with those injuries, but they also have other
benefits. High-impact sports have been demonstrated to put the body
under the same degree of stress as a car accident. Athletes who receive
routine adjustments may experience improvements in sports performance,
range of motion (particularly in endurance athletes), flexibility, blood
flow, and injury prevention. Because spinal adjustments lessen then
irritation of the nerve roots between the vertebrae, minor injuries can
heal faster, allowing you to perform better.
Injury Prevention:
Any
chiropractor who specializes in treating athletes should be prepared to
treat the full person and create a thorough injury-prevention program.
Traditional orthopedic exams, neurological examinations, and
consideration of supplementing physical exam findings with any other
diagnostic evaluations, if suitable, or a referral if required should
all be part of the first evaluation. Chiropractic therapy has been shown
in numerous studies to aid athletes in achieving their peak
performance. The runners healed rapidly, and seven of them achieved
"personal best: times while receiving chiropractic care, but other
variables may have played a role.
To decrease pain:
The
spine is a vital physical structure that houses a variety of
pain-sensitive tissues, including joints, muscles, nerves, discs, and
ligaments. Any of these issues can be subjected to excessive stress and
strain if there are any aberrant alignment patterns in the spinal
column. Chiropractic adjustments were consistently better than
alternative medical methods in reducing the intensity of acute low back
pain and restoring normal function, both for short-term and long- term
effects, according to a recent paper examining the effectiveness of
spinal manipulation.
