Whether you have gone pro or you are a weekend warrior, your body needs to be at its best to perform the way you want. You train and eat right, but are you doing all you can to make your body well? Many professional sports teams are realizing the important link between chiropractic care and physical performance and are now employing their own chiropractors to help their players with injury recovery and total body wellness. In fact, Dr. Cheree used to be the chiropractor for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings before moving to Las Vegas.
Chiropractic care is not limited to just treating sports injuries. When your spine is in alignment, your nervous and circulatory systems function better and this means that your body will perform better. When used for treating injuries, it can help athletes heal without the use of drugs or banned substances that could disqualify them from competing.
Common techniques used on athletes include:
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Physiotherapy
• Cryotherapy
• Thermotherapy
• Corrective exercises
• Nutritional counseling
• Lifestyle coaching
